A Good Week and a Happy List!

I’ve had a wonderful week and here’s my Happy List!

1. The weather here in Florida has been fabulous this week!

Here’s a peek at a horse farm near our house taken out the car window at 55 mph!

2. I’ve been creative! I wanted to make some bags but couldn’t find the patterns so I created my own! I’ll share soon!

3. I’ve received a few gifts from Giveaways (not all this week but over the past few weeks) and that always makes the happy list!

Sharon from the PAFA giveaway sent me this lighted basket!

And this cute little pendant was made by Melinda

The ocean makes me happy!

6. The first time I ever saw a Happy List, it was on

 Art at Home! That’s how I became friends with Ricki!

Don’t you love making new girlfriends?!

Have you had a good week?

Did you do anything special or creative?

I am thinking that happy lists not only make the writer happy, but every one else.

We all need a little more happy in our lives.

Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like you have had a good week. Your received some lovely gifts. I enjoyed hearing about everything. It's just been an ordinary week here although today I went for a walk around a nearby lake with my daughter which was great. We chatted and enjoyed a little sunshine.

Into Vintage said...

If I were ever lucky enough to live near the ocean, the Gulf coast would be my first choice. It's so beautiful there -- can't imagine seeing it every day. :-)

Amber said...

How lucky for you to have won all those gorgeous items!

The ocean makes me happy too, it looks beautiful in that picture. So peaceful!

Brenna said...

I love all your wins!
I wish we lived by the ocean... I am always so jealous of those that can put their feet in the sand and surf everyday if they want to!!

Annalisa said...

I love the tray, but all the pictures you took are stunning!
