Thank You Secret Santa!





I participated in this past season's Book Blogger Holiday Swap and yesterday my secret santa gift arrived!



Is this not cool?




I have a new book to read and some really cool scents. I am a scent junkie. My husband says we'd be rich if he owned stock in Bath & Body Works!

Thank you to my secret santa, who revealed herself as I Heart Monster

Please go visit her great blog when you have a chance!!!!


I also received the Happy 101 Award from Missy’s Book Nook - thank you, Missy!


The instructions are for me to list 10 things that make me happy, then tag some other bloggers with this award.


What makes Spunky happy?

My awesome husband and spending time with him.
My two black kitties, Rocko & Spunky.
Time to do nothing but write.
Roller coasters!!!! The more loops the better.
The sound of rain or a flowing river.
A really moving song.
Taking photographs.
The joy of friends and time spent enriching (and being enriched by) others.
Dunkin Donuts and coffee.
A long foot massage - I'm a sucker for those!

I tag anyone reading this post - what makes YOU happy?

And a special thanks to Just Jemi for the Honest Scrap Award! This is twice now I've received this award and I appreciate it.

What fun. It's just like Christmas all over again!

There are many things that make me happy but the quickest way to bring a smile to my lips is simply thinking about something my grandson said or did or to hear he's on the way over.
