My Happy 101 Award

I received the Happy 101 Award from my two favorite bloggers, Tracy of Sugarcrafter and Sarah of Maison Cupcakes.  I'm surprised that I'm being awarded. My blog has always been a sort of personal diary where i keep an account of what i have baked - since i have the tendency to forget things quite easily.  I'm no good in writing or expressing my feelings, so most of my posts are usu. factual, and that usu. imo is quite boring..LOL! So, I'm rather flattered to receive such an award.  I have found that the best thing from creating this blog (other than refreshing my memory) is that it has led to me to 'meet' other interesting and amazing food bloggers like Tracy, Sarah and others who have all been so helpful and encouraging.

Rules of the Award:-

• 1) Copy the award image into a post.
• 2) List 10 things that make you happy.
• 3) Tag 10 bloggers who brighten your day.
• 4) Put in a link to their blogs.
• 5) Notify the award receivers.
• 6) Recipients to link back to the sender's blog.

10 Things That Makes Me Happy

1. My Husband - cracks silly jokes all the time and makes me laugh
2. My Daughter - tries very hard to get good results in her studies
3. My Son - everything he does is like a milestone for us - when he suddenly speaks a new word or suddenly talks in sentence (ie, 3 words or more!), and when he seems to understand complex issues.  I'll be delighted when he can some day tell time..since we have been teaching him for years and he doesn't seems to get it..
4. Shopping:  buying cookbooks, bake-wares, clothings, shoes..etc..
5. Decorating cakes & cookies
6. Reading cookbooks & other food bloggers' blogs, 
7. Weekends - when i spend all my time with my family & cooking/baking.
8. Good day at work during weekdays
9. Christmas
10. Holiday travels
