happiness:)

Thanks to In a Yellow House . . . another award:)
She's a sweet blogger lady who has amazing food pictures, and she sews, (holy cow) and she likes Starbucks. Which is coffee. Well, and tea. Which is . . . nevermind. Y'all know where I'm going.
So. Thanks to Yellow House! :)
Now for some things that...make me happy. Hmm. Just so ya know, this isn't going to be in any specific order, 'kay? Thanks. ;)

1. Clean kitchens. I was just working in ours, washing dishes (yeppers, we have human dish washers...) and making it decent looking. Well, trying to. But I love kitchens. Today's just not the best day in the world for me. It's...It's...Just wonderfee, being a woman. (bleh) But, back on kitchen, I want one of my own someday....kind of like this one:
2. Traditional Home magazine. It's like a mixed breed of Architectural Digest and House Beautiful . . . it's wonderfee. :)
3. Reading. Although lately my reading has been of the more non-fiction style --my Bible and blogs, heh heh-- Lisa Samson, Bonnie Grove, Karen Hancock, and Ted Dekker are a few of my favorite authors. I hate horror or too much suspense. (um, most of those books in the pic are not mine...they're Anna's and Skylar's from a library trip last summer..haha)
4. Writing. Sure, I blog quite a bit, but for journalling, etcetera? Composition notebooks and a pen are my best friends. Ever since a couple Christmases ago, I've been using one of Ben's pens, and nothing less. :) Here are two I made in December with him:
5. Painting. Not sure if any of you lovelies out there picked up on it . . . harhar.
6. Rain. And the smell in the breeze before it starts...and how the grass looks after it...and the rainbows that you see sometimes during it. :)
 7. Purple. Like chairs. Like paintings. Like these pumps:

8. This mug from Etsy, by MrPS. Except I don't think it's big enough . . . only holds 11oz.
9. The sky. Mostly when it's blue. And there are tons of jets/planes/what have you flying through it...
10. Robbie Seay Band . . .their latest album, Miracle. Amazing lyrics in those songs. Wow.

And the beautiful ladies I'm awarding?

The Mrs. @ Trying Our Best
She mentioned such a yummy recipe the other day...(guacamole over chicken tacos) And she's just too cute:) I loved reading about her and her hubby's different cleaning styles. ;)

Mrs. Bement @ The Newlywed’s Diaries
I just found her the other day and I love her way with words. :) Plus, she's adorable, and I started reading her with this post about strange old men. haha! It's just so random, and I loved it.
Christina @ Consider the Coffee
I love her title, of course. And I love all her collages of dresses/etcetera. Makes you want to have a closet full of vintage dresses... :)
She's going to have a Soapbox post soon, so I'm excited for that, and her family post is so sweet:) You meet everyone, and you want to read her blog all the more. :)
Jessica Jane @ Jessica Jane Handmade
She's got pictures...she's got crafts. She's pretty adorable, too:) I found her a while ago, but have been reading more of her lately... She's honest and sweet and she even does the Flashback Friday. ;)


So...copy the picture, post it in your Happy award post, and link to me and award 5 --or however many you want to-- bloggers, and link to them... :)
Have a lovely evening!!

i love your blog...the songs you have playing. your pictures.

i am with you on the kitchen thing. i really dont care what my future house looks like as long as it has a sweet ass kitchen.

and those mugs are pretty rad.

OMGSH! I totally know what you mean about mugs being too small. I feel that there is no mug big enough to quench my thirst for some good tea. We should create a business that makes huge mugs and paints them. Like mugs that hold a whole pot of coffee or tea! :]

The Mrs. said...

awwww thank you so much!

I love love love the smell of rain. even better is the smell of asphalt after the rain. i realize that sounds very weird but it reminds me of running out to play after the rain as a kid.

I am so glad you reposted this! The happy pictures are wonderful! I love the smell of rain too. I also love the kitchen pic. I wish my kitchen was always clean!

I chuckled when you called me "Yellow House." Maybe I should use my real name from time to time! Have a great weekend, blog friend!

Fun! Thank you very much for the happy award! :) I love MrPS's shop. One day I'd like to buy something from there. I will post the award/10 things soon!

Dana said...

Ah! Thank you! You're so sweet.
I love your pictures, by the way - both paintings and photography. You're my motivation to finally finish the second painting for our bedroom when the semester is over!
