Tagged and an Award

So I was tagged and awarded over at Thought Threads....Thanks for thinking of me!

Here are the rules of Tag:

* List Six Unimportant Things That Make You Happy.

* Mention and link to the person who tagged you.

* Tag six of your favorite bloggers to play along, and comment on their blog to let them know they've been tagged.

These Are Six Unimportant Things That Make Me Happy
[By the way...isn't unimportant happiness an oxymoron?]

1. Books
I love to read and have devoured books for as long as I can remember. I usually feel guilty that I don't have much time to read but I make up for it during the summer. I've read 2 and a half books just today and have started on another!
(I just started reading "Plain Truth" by Jodi Picult and at page 61 am loving it so far!)

2. The Internet
The internet is my connection to the outside world and where I live most of my days. (Not that that's a bad thing!) I always seem to feel this strange feeling of loss when for one reason or another don't have access to the internet for a period of time.

3. Pants
As I am currently in the mindset of the Amish world (that's where the story in "Plain Truth" takes place) I realize that pants make me quite happy. I don't think I could handle wearing dresses and skirts all of the time.

4. Stars (and wishing on them)
I love stars. Staring at a black night sky that is completely lit up by shining stars - there's nothing more magical. I also love wishing on them and am thankful when I get to see the first star again and again each night with my ever changing wishes.

5. Crayola Crayons
How do they get such a beautiful and wonderfully huge rainbow of colors into such a tiny box? [My favorite since childhood has been "Jungle Green" the perfect color, but is hard to come by nowadays!]

6. The Smell of Summer
Campfires, BBQs, S'mores, Fresh lake and ocean air and the smell of driving through forests of huge redwood trees.


I'm going to leave this open to whomever feels like joining in! If you do, please leave a comments so I can be sure to come check it out and find out more about you!



The "Love Ya" Award states:
These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more
friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

I'm also going to break the rules of the award and keep the 8 spots open too! I love you all!

Lastly, I received this award from Jennifer a little while back and never said thanks, so..Thank You!

Friday Favorites - #8 and an Award



It's Friday Favorites Time!

My godmother's granddaughter Rosemary Wellington [Welly] turned a year old this week! So this post is a sweet but humorous birthday wish from mother to daughter.

Favorite Product- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock SPF 70
Because I'm on so many medications I'm super sensitive to the sun and have to be really careful and wear sunscreen. This stuff sprays on clear with NO rubbing involved and it's not sticky. I love it!

Photoshop
I've been on Photoshop most of the week editing pictures and trying to get them where I want them. I'm also putting together a few pieces and have been working really hard on them. It's a good thing I enjoy the program so much!



I also received an award from Tanielle over at the Polka Dot Daisy!
Thank you!!


I'm passing this award on to

Lynda at Life at the Lunds'
Shangrila at
My Bella Figlia
Future Mama at Baby Makin(g) Machine

I hope your week has been wonderful and your weekend is even better!

Friday Favorites - #3 And An Award!


Happy Friday!!
Now for the things that got me through this week:

Favorite Post:
What My Kids Think of Me at The Polka Dot Daisy

Favorite Food:
POM Pomegranate Peach Passion White Iced Tea
Yummy!

Favorite Show:
Big Love
Big Love is a show that my sister, mom and I get together every Sunday night to watch. There was a big uproar over this past episode as the show showed a sacred ceremony. 
There were many people upset about this and I completely understand why. 
But I [coming from a non-Mormon household] loved seeing how beautiful this ceremony was. The three of us [my sister, mom and I] were all teary-eyed while watching it. [As a side note, I was raised by a mother who got teased growing up that she could "cry over soapbox commercials" heh]I feel privileged to be given the [Hollywood-ized] chance to see something so special to this group of people. 


Favorite Times:
-I've spent the entire week on the lookout for things to use for the Spring Swap I'm participating in. I still have to box it all up and get it sent out by Wednesday. I've had so much fun with it.

-This past weekend I went on a trip to Carmel, CA for "Family Christmas" [yes, I know it's March]. Family Christmas is a group of Families that have been getting together for over 30 years and most grew up together. It's wonderful to watch the group evolve as the kids I grew up with are now getting married and having kids. There are now three generations in the group. And this past gathering we found out that 2 of the women [that married into the family within the last 3 years] are pregnant! So exciting!




I feel honored to have received this award from the amazing Tanielle over at The Polka Dot Daisy! She's got the most adorable kids and her blog is where I go when I need my daily dose of laughter.
