Look on the Bright Side

I received a Ms. Bright Side Award from my online scrapping friend, Cindy at Crazy for Crafting.   Cindy is so sweet and is so very talented.   She is also extremely generous and a wealth of information. 

This award came at the perfect time this week also.  I’ve been working a few extra hours the last few weeks and after work, I just have not felt much like crafting.  I’ve grabbed a few minutes here and there and have finished only two projects that I plan to share over the next few days with you.   I’m also fighting a nasty cold that is mostly residing in my head, but causing my whole body to ache.   That does not help to motivate me to do much of anything.   So, when I received this award from Cindy, it definitely “brightened” my day.  

So, now I’m supposed to list 10 things that make me happy, 5 pieces of trivia about myself, and pass this award on to 5 fellow bloggers. So, here goes…

10 things that make me happy:

1. My family – yes, sounds sappy, but it is true.’
2. Coffee
3. Fresh flowers – don’t get enough of these
4. Good sushi & miso soup.
5. Sitting in the back yard and listening to the wild birds singing and chirping in the early morning or evening.
6. The smell of new scrapbook paper.
7. A nice glass (or two) of wine.
8. A massage!
9. Getting a package in the mail.
10. Having a clean house (preferably one that I didn’t clean).

Now 5 Trivia things

1.  I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
2.  I make bread from scratch; completely from scratch.  I even grind my own wheat.
3.  I like pottery pitchers.
4.  I’m a gadget addict.
5.  We make southern sweet tea every day.

Finally, 5 bloggers I’d like to share this with:

1. Jackie at My Basket of Scraps
2. Beth at Run with Scraps
3. Shari at Shari’s Creations with the Cricut
4. Janie at Typical Scrapbooker
5. Britten at Two at a Time

Thank you all because You ALL brighten my day.   I’m inspired every day by all your crafty creations.

Thanks for stopping by.
