Happy Sunday, my Darlings!  How are you doing only a week & a half before Christmas?

This week, I AM HAPPY that I got the Art Fact Sheets filled out & turned in for Top Shhecret Project #1.  I still can’t talk about it—sorry! :smiley75 —but that sort of thing always stumps me a bit & takes me forever to complete, so having at least one (of three) out of the way is a big plus! :smiley77

I AM HAPPY that I’ve gotten all of my Christmas shopping & holiday errands done well ahead of time, including packages & cards in the mail.  Granted, I don’t do as much as most people; my policy is to keep things simple & cut as many corners as possible. :smiley73  But still, for what I tend to do each year, I am more caught up than usual.

I AM HAPPY that it turns out another of The Kittehs—Mr. Tigger—loves the heated bed I ordered for Miss Precious the week before she died.  She was so thin & frail that she had a hard time maintaining her body heat, & I wanted her to have something really warm to sleep on this winter.  Well, it arrived a couple of days after I lost her, & I couldn’t even bring myself to open the box; it was too painful a reminder, & I didn’t quite know what I was going to do with it now that she was no longer around.  But eventually, I did open the box & set up the new bed, just to see what The Kittehs would do.  Next thing you know, Tigger is curled up sound asleep on it & he’s barely left it since. :smiley62   I’m so glad—not only that it’s being used, but that he loves it so very much!

Last, but definitely, definitely not least, I AM HAPPY with the adorable gifties the wonderful Darling Hollie sent me for my birthday!    Yes, I’m a bit late in conveying my appreciation, but in case you hadn’t noticed, it’s been kind of a rough, busy month.  Plus, I’m terrible about taking pictures & then getting them sent to the computer so I can add them to posts. :smiley79

My tardiness aside, she sent me the most adorable skull & crossbones hand towel—which she topped & decorated herself, I’m certain!—& a matching pair of toe socks.  Clearly, she knows my tastes quite well…I am all about Halloweeny stuff, & during the winter months I live in toe socks! :smiley60

Thank you, Darling Hollie, from the top of my skull to the tips of my toasty-warm toes. :smiley33

So how about you?  What great stuff has been going on with you this week?  Do you have any news to share, or simply a few things you want to mention that you’re thankful for?  Whatever it is making you happy, we want to hear! :smiley57

Not that we’re excited or anything. :smiley73
