Life is GOOD, a HAPPY Post & an AWARD!

Happy Monday Friends! And what a day it has been!

Not only did a dear blogfriend interview me this week, but she ALSO gave me an AWARD!!! Can you believe?!?!! My VERY FIRST AWARD in Blogsville. . . and it is so VERY touching . . . Who is this person who is making my dreams come true? Well, it's Leslie, of course, from "Words of Me Project". Leslie and I found each other last summer, and when I first visited her blog I had an instant connection to her. She has always inspired me and made me think. She motivates me and continues to bring all her friends and followers great messages of hope. Last week Leslie asked me if she could interview me for her blog. I've been on **Cloud 9** ever since! You can check out my interview here, and make sure you read some of her other posts. Leslie is a doll!

In addition to my interview, Leslie also presented me with a HAPPY Award!!! This Happy Award:


It's pretty great to receive such a lovely award from someone who makes YOU happy, you know? I'm a pretty lucky lady! Leslie received this award from Lacie over at Creative Attempts, and now my fun begins . . . because I get to give this award to five of MY blog friends that make me HAPPY!!! SO, I am PROUD to extend this HAPPY 101 reward to:

  1. Peggy from "Small Steps to Giant Leaps"
  2. Cindi from "So, That's Why"
  3. Anna from "Frosted Petunia"
  4. Betty from "Bossy Betty"
  5. Heather from "Gerber Days"

Please stop by their blogs and say Hi! They are wonderfully inspiring and fun ladies who each make me smile each time I visit their places.

In addition to sharing the happiness with 5 blog friends . . . I also get to share 10 things that make me HAPPY!!! (ONLY 10??? That seems IMPOSSIBLE!!!) So, here goes . . . in no particular order . . .

  1. Eskimo kisses with my daughter Kate
  2. Having my face held in Ella's hands
  3. That very first cup of coffee every day
  4. Zyrtec D (seriously . . . are your allergies as awful as mine lately?)
  5. Cheesecake
  6. Scrapbooking ALL DAY LONG!
  7. Chocolate Wine (YES, there IS such a thing . . . I'll blog about it later in the week)
  8. Dates with my husband
  9. GLEE!!!!
  10. A clean house
That seems like such a lame list! But, it's the very first things that popped into my head . . . so I just went with it. Thanks so much, Leslie, for the award.

That’s all for today. Hope you find some happiness in YOUR day and if you do – please feel free to share it with me. Let’s spread the GOOD! It’s contagious!!!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
