My first 'Reasons To Be Cheerful' #R2BC of 2013! I took a small break over the Holiday's and am looking forward to linking up again each week. Each Thursday #R2BC makes me look for the great things that have happened throughout the last week and focus on them. There is a lot to be said for a bit of positivite thinking :)
- Story of Mum's crafty twitter party! I recently stumbled across story of mum and was invited to join in with their monthly twitter party - this month the theme was 'can you take a compliment.' We created compliment boxes to store lovely words that people had said to us and chatted about giving and receiving compliments. It was a brilliant evening, I had a lot of fun, enjoyed doing a bit of crafting, having some me-time and meeting some lovely mummies.
- Having a break! I decided to take a bit of a 'holiday hiatus' over Christmas and New Year and I feel much better for it, I feel refreshed for the New Year and really enjoyed spending the time with my little family and our extended families.
- My Mum! When I'm having a rubbish time or struggling with something she's always there with an open ear, a loving heart and wonderful advise. She is an amazing Mother and person and a real inspiration to me.

I was going to join in with the party but the Mr had his wallet stolen so it was an evening of cancelling cards zzz. Your compliment box is lovely :) x
