Things that will always make me smile

Welcome to my new postive blog :)

Reasons to be happy...
I have a list I started yesterday that currently stands at 108 things. They range from silly and superficial, to moments in time I'd like to capture forever. Think what you like about any of them.

They're not in any kind of order, the first ones came off a drawing I did on my wall last year called "these are a few of my favourite things"...just the random order they popped into my head.

I'm going to find a way, from now until the end of 2010, to capture each of these moments in a photo or a drawing or a collage of collected images...or maybe even a few written lines or a short video. If I manage that...200+ memoirs of smiles, I must be able to say that 2010 was, overall, a very very happy year in the life of Amelia-May. Here, I'll share the list. On Flickr, I'll share the photos :)
Enjoy.
Smile.
