Mikes Week of Happy - Day 6

Todays happy is happy mail......

I was extremely lucky to win Lisa's The Princess & The Monkey Blogtoberfest Giveaway.....

Look at this amazing embroidered notebook cover (with notebook inside) and matching pen holder....

I'm always fascinated by gorgeous embroidery stitches as I just don't have the patience to do it myself.....

You can't actually see from the photos but I also love the way that the pen holder is elasticised at the back. This means that I can take it off the cover and put it around the entire notebook, and then throw it in my handbag without having to worry about it opening up...ingenious!

Thankyou so much Lisa, this one is heading for my handbag right away....

Pip is hosting 'A Week of Happy' so here's my beginning.

The simple things in life make me happy....things like vegemite toast and a cup of tea for breakfast.
