So, as I mentioned yesterday, I have completed my little book of "happy", inspired by
Elizabeth Gilbert and her journey to self discovery
which she published in her book named Eat. Pray. Love. Basically, the idea behind the book is to recall some thing that made me happy during that day, no matter how small or seemingly trivial. I remember one of her examples when interviewed by Oprah was the way the sun was shining on her way out to collect the mail.
So, the book I got was from Big W. I just covered the back with felt, and popped a flower thing on the front and
that's basically it. Not too plain to be boring, but fun enough to be a little self inspiring. I'll probably put a little "how to" on
Craft and Scrap.
So, in my endeavour to get more organised this year, and since completing my book of happy, I realised that I have a few really important things that I refer to often throughout the day. I
discovered this old folder that belonged to my dad, and tried to liven it up a little, so I could keep my "important daily stuff" in it. Things like my book of happy, daily diary (appointments and to
do's), a notepad for jotting of ideas and
groceries etc and a check list thingy of housekeeping etc. So now I can zip it all up and
they're all in the one place. Just realised I forgot to clean the folder before I took a pic! :)
My bro sent me a link for a
donut recipe, and I got a bit bored and made them this
arvo. I made the dough, let it rise, and then after dinner John cut out the donuts and I cooked and glazed them! For our first attempt, and with no actual donut cutter,
I'm really pleased with them! We had (still have) so many donuts that I gave some away to the neighbours!
So now
I'm off to clean the kitchen!
