Tuesday Morning Happies!

In no particular order – here are a few things that are making my smile big and bright today.

♥ The photo shoot from last night. Eric (and Aquaman somewhat) was so helpful in helping fulfill my vision of what photo I wanted to post for what I was thankful for today (see http://www.abbys365.blogspot.com/). I kept getting frustrated but Eric was so patient and helpful.
♥ Christmas music playing on warm 106.9 – usually I stay away from it till December 1st giving Thanksgiving it’s full month of holiday but for some reason I can’t help but to sing along this year. (It’s kind of a secret shame) And I’ve already heard some of my all time favorites.
♥ cRAVE is tonight and we get to play some fun Thanksgiving themed games! And Eric is doing the message tonight!
♥ Eric is picking me up from work so I do not have to ride the bus.
♥ I got to nap on the bus this morning because my “usual” bus buddy Dahlia was MIA. Though I love talking with Dahlia – I was sleepy.
♥ The three cups of coffee I drank probably has something to do with my attitude.
♥ Santa Clause is currently residing on Coke cans & Snowflakes on Diet Coke
♥ I get to carry a bunch of balloons through the city of Seattle on my lunch break to welcome my wonderful boss back to the office.
♥ We get Italian food from Buca De Beppo for lunch today because it’s Birthday Lunch day!
♥ My kitty actually wanted me to pet her this morning. (rare occasion)

I am sure there is more to list but those are a couple things that I thought of offhand. I hope you’re having a good day ♥ Abby

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
