Hello again, what do you think of my happy jingly heart?  I’m always on the look out for heart shaped pretties and this was irresistible.  One day I will have to go round the house with the camera and make a heart mosaic.  One day…when I have nothing to do!

I’ve been busily sorting out orders after the weekend, and I just have one left…a hamster.  And not just any hamster, I have photos of a dearly departed much loved pet to guide me so this has got to be right.  Quite a responsibility,  I’ll let you know later how I get on!

I’ve also been catching up on correspondence, which is why I bought some cards last weekend at the Pick and Mix Market.  The trouble is, I’m finding it really difficult to spoil the beautiful presentation! I mean, look how lovely this looks…

…and I couldn’t resist buying these jolly Christmas cards from Moobaacluck…

(although I should probably have kept them a secret, I hope no one is looking!)

I must bring in Higgins as a Reason to be Cheerful this week, although he manages to be that anyway (99% of the time!) I had to chuckle this morning as I watched him carefully dragging the throw off the sofa, across the floor to the patch of sunlight streaming in through the french doors.  Having arranged it carefully into a Higgy shaped nest,  he selected his current favourite toy from the toy box and settled down to warm his tummy!  But he’s come into his own getting me out of the house on days when without him I would NOT have ventured into the great outdoors, what with the wind, the rain, and the mud.

It hasn’t been like that every day, and today we had a lovely walk.

Finally I have a Reason to be Cheerful up my sleeve that I can’t tell you about just yet, but which me made me very happy this afternoon!  Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can share it, if it come off.

So what are your Reasons to be Cheerful this week? Please join in, just click on the Linky at the end of the post.  It’s lovely to  be able to read all the things, both big and small which have raised a smile over the past few days.  And if you don’t have a blog just share your thought in the comments column.

See you soon! x
