Day to Day

You might remember that one of my new year's resolutions for 2009 was to keep a list of things that make me happy every day.

This photo by Jenni Penni has been going around the blogs and I have to agree that it's pretty great. Hopefully more prints will be available in Jenni's Etsy shop soon.
