The Happy List

Happy Wednesday. Today is my mom's birthday.
I love the fact our birthdays are less than
two weeks apart.

The lovely Cinner gifted me with this
award:


This is the Ten Things That Make Me Happy Award
The idea is to make my list and pass the Award
on to Ten People.

Here is my happy ten list.

1) My friends and family
2) Old romantic movies
3) Mabel, my tuxedo cat
4) Being at the ocean
5) Chocolate
6) Shakespeare
7) A blue sky day
8) Flowers
9) When a song comes on that says exactly
how I feel
10) The quiet of night after midnight

Now, the hard part..I have to
pick ten people..
here goes..this is
off the top of my head.
If you are award free, just
know I send you love..

A Fanciful Twist
Button Willow Cottage
Her Speak
Suzie Ridler
Girl Whimsy
HappySimpleLife
Soul Aperture
Future Hippie
Ooh La La Design
Rose Cottage

I know I'm going to be mad
later on, because I know there are
people I'm forgetting. If I do,
blame my head not my heart.

Have a wonderful day. See you
back here tomorrow.

Award Love

Blog awards. I have been slacking on passing the love along. I'm here to remedy this. I really dislike choosing. If I have forgotten anybody, please forgive me in advance. If your an award and tag free blog, let the spirit of the awards remain in your heart.


Miss Watermelon Award. Nicole gave me this sweet award. She said to fulfill the duties of "Miss Watermelon" I have to tell you six things I love and then pass it on to six people. To me, my interpretation, Miss Watermelon are ladies who are as sweet and juicy as a Watermelon.


Here are six things I love:
1) The color Blue
2) Ballet like shoes
3) Shawls
4) Chocolate chip cookies
5) Romantic looking skirts
6) Watching The Moon


Your An Awesome Girl Award.Laurel gave me this lovely award.


I'm combining the lists so each of you get both awards.

I also want to tell everyone the talented Mystele is doing her first mixed media class called Gut Art. So go check it out.

That's all folks. Have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Birthday Ella

A Big Happy Birthday to the "First Lady of Song": Ella Fitzgerald. I love Ella's beautiful and clear voice. When I use to work at my boring law firms job, Ella's voice was always in my headphones to keep me swinging and dreaming. Whether I'm in a romantic, melancholy or happy mood, Ella is there to provide her wondrous voice to my feelings.

Here are some great words from the lady herself:
"Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong."
"It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts."

I also have a blog award to share. Tristan of Enchanted Reverly gifted me with this lovely and heartfelt award called The Renee award. Go here to learn the important story behind this wonderful award from one of the co-creators Bella. In Bella's own words this award was created in honor of Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns…



I'm passing out the love to these creative ladies: Gyspy of Daisy Yellow Blog
Marmee Craft of Marmee Craft
Sarah of Circles of Rain
If you don't know their blogs, go check them out.

And now, here is Ella to serenade you off. Hope your having a great weekend so far.



As always, Sweet Dreams to you all.

I had to put another song on. Just can't have one Ella Song.
