I've come up from the depths of the art room reorganization to check on my sick dh, hug a tired little girl who crashed doing a somersault off of her bottom bunk (not who you think! :), and clean up a dog mess.
Stopped in to check blogland for a few minutes of bliss, and was delighted to see I've been nominated by Beauty in the Attempt for my first blog award. What an honor! Check out her sweet little world , as she studies away and creates a beautiful home too. I'm happy to pause for a moment and think about 10 things that make me happy....in no particular order. I'm thankful for a moment to peruse old photos and share them with you!
1. Taking time to relax with friends and family after a long busy day.
2. Boots, skirts, and fun tights in happy colors on a gloomy Winter day. So far my kids aren't embarrassed to be seen with me....
3. Eating healthy fresh foods.
4. Reading a great book to my kids. I could have majored in Children's Literature, but it wasn't an option....did the Elementary Education and English Lit. major instead.
5. Singing very loud to my happy music.
6. Gardening and playing in the yard. 
7. Baking with my kids....usually something not too healthy.
8. A good cup of coffee or tea.
9. A walk or run near any body of water...
10. Making something.
Happy Weekend. Off to the depths to continue my organizational nightmare!
10. Making something.
Passing on this sweet happy award to 10 other bloggers, who may have received this honor before. Pay them a visit and enjoy a few more minutes of happy blogging bliss....
1. Chair-up
3. Casa Mia
6. Dusty Lu
7. Whatever
9. Join my Joy
10. Made 2 Create

Hi Julie- Thanks for visiting my blog. I just love re-purposing things, too. I think it has become my favorite thing to do. I am also in the middle of reorganizing my studioffice. I just seem to be making more piles. Hopefully I can make some decisions so I can get it done.
