Tuesday, November 4, 2008 at 02:05AM Happy November! Hard to believe, isn't it? ;) So, I've been tagged by my good friend Marti. (The rules….link your tagger and list these rules on your blog. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.)
But. I appear to have run out of random and weird things about myself. Okay, not really. But my brain is tired right now. Instead, then, here are 7 things that make me happy right now:
1. The holiday countdown. Now that Halloween is over, I feel okay embracing my anticipation for Thanksgiving and Christmas. ;) Even though traditional Christmas layouts aren't usually my favorite thing to do, I love collecting holiday embellishments and do-dads...love thinking up holiday crafts to do with the boys. One of my latest favorite finds are these beautiful tags. I'm still on the fence about whether I want to tackle a December daily album this year, but if I did, these would definitely be part of it! (Oh, and totally love the little owls and circle numbers there also!!)
2. Supplies for a cause. Speaking of holiday scrapbooking and crafting...check out this fabulous digital kit by the awesome designers at Little Dreamers Designs. The proceeds go to Toys for Tots! Can't beat that! :)
3. Innocence. So, yes, I've purchased the digital kit I just mentioned. You may notice, though, that I do not do many digital scrapbook pages. In fact, this layout that was in the October issue of CK was only the second digi layout I've ever completed:
I love how Noah looks in this picture...so innocent yet knowing. Everything on this list, too, still holds true. :)
4. A kid funny. Noah learned a new song last week at Options. One of the lines had to do with mistletoe and holly. Asher, upon hearing this song, went about the house belting "Mrs. Toe and Holly" until I finally figured out what he was talking about. Gotta love lyric laughs!
5. Pants that fit. I won't go into my rant about how women's pants are sized, but suffice it to say that finding pants that fit me isn't easy. Last week I finally broke down (don't ask what took me so long!) and took a bunch of my pants to be altered (as my sewing machine and I don't see eye to eye, lol). Wow. It's amazing how happy a little thing like pants that are the right length makes me. :)
6. Good books for kids. MathStart books by Stuart J. Murphy...Magic School Bus books...Magic Tree House books...ValueTales books...Choose Your Own Adventures...yup. I could go on and on and on. Good books are just a wonderful thing.
7. Great deals. I can't give details but earlier today the boys and I found an awesome deal on what will be a Christmas present for someone. Love when that happens!
So. What makes you happy?
Oh, and I'm tagging these lovely folks...Laura, Tiffany, Jamie, Michelle, Vivian, Emily and Heather. ;)
Stay tuned later today (hopefully) for another Tuesday's Tool!
