You know, I’m beginning to think that the mail carriers and couriers in this city are becoming my new best friends… because it seems as though every time there’s a knock on the door it’s one of them with a delivery that makes my day! ‘Tis the season, I suppose. [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by friendship in the form of a surprise tangling-related gift that showed up at my door today – “A Year of Tangling” in calendar form! – sent by a couple of dear people I just happen to know and love. [continue reading…]
Last January I followed along with a crowd of people who had decided to claim their very own inspirational word for the year – something meaningful and motivating that would provide intentional focus and direction as they made their way through [continue reading…]
Funny boy Felix has a brand new way of showing affection (or perhaps, more accurately, communicating a “get up and feed me already” message!) – that is, climbing on my chest just as I’m waking up in the morning and licking my chin (and [continue reading…]
Wow, am I ever glad the day is done and I am back home! I spent the afternoon braving the slow-walking, middle-of-the-aisle-stopping, children-whining insanity that is Christmas shopping at the mall, and I am beat. But happy, too… because [continue reading…]
My choice for today’s Photo Friday “Blue” challenge was actually taken fairly recently – just about a month and a half ago, in fact – in response to a “Something Blue” prompt for the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. So I apologize to those of you [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is actually in duplicate (hey, who wouldn’t want their happiness doubled occasionally?!), because even though I did take a 100 Happy Days photo yesterday, I didn’t write a 100 Happy Days post. I shared my photo on [continue reading…]
If you’ve been following Alphabet Salad for awhile you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of Zazzle. Their amazingly diverse selection of gifts and goodies, and the ability to add your own personal customizations to each of their products, made the site a perfect [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by receiving the very first present for my upcoming 48th birthday! No, I didn’t open it… I was warned that it was coming and instructed to leave it until January 1st, so I’ve tucked it away and will try to forget about it [continue reading…]
I have been doing an awful lot of tangling lately, mostly in the late evenings right before I go to bed. I work at my desk, hunched over my paper, and often find that a good couple of hours have passed before I even realize it! Not a bad thing… except for the fact that [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness and gratitude is brought to you by memories of an absolutely wonderful evening with my fun, generous, crazy, thoughtful, hilarious, one-of-a-kind group of girlfriends at our third annual holiday gathering last night. I am so very blessed [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by a decadent coffee mousse dessert, prepared by yours truly. Well, not exactly the dessert itself – more accurately, I’m happy today because of the reason why I made the dessert in the first place – that is, to bring to [continue reading…]
The Photo Friday challenge today is Depth of Field, and because it’s a prompt that also came up several months ago in the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge, I knew right away that the picture I took back then would be the one I shared here today. [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness – no, utter delight! – is brought to you by a stack of envelopes, some pretty and inspirational washi tape, a pad of watercolour paper, and a regular, everyday, business-style planner that is slowly being transformed into my [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness came to me (and my oh-so-winter-dry hands) in the form of a bottle of moisturizing lotion in a lovely-smelling, summery-sounding “Coconut & Lime” scent.
More happy mail, and today’s is actually a tangling goodie! This time it’s a delightful looking book called Made in the Shade: a Zentangle Workbook, by Cris Letourneau. I can’t wait to get started on it!

If you’re anything at all like me, you probably have certain signs and traditions that signify to you that the holidays are approaching. I shared one of my own not too long ago, and now today’s happiness is brought to you by another – my first annual [continue reading…]
