Introducing: Smiley Sunday!
Elizabeth January 3rd, 2010
Scarlet Words will be a busy little place in 2010! Aside from my regular updates I’m working on some new ideas to keep me blogging more regularly during the coming months.
One of my main goals for this year, at least where this blog is concerned, is to connect more with the people who read Scarlet Words. I’d also like to meet more of my fellow bloggers and share them with everyone here!
Smiley Sunday is a new weekly feature to seek out a little happiness, and to learn more about somebody new.
So, for the first time of many, welcome to Smiley Sunday!

(A big thank you to Tim for agreeing to let me use this picture, a cartoon of us that he drew 4 years ago!)
SMILEY SUNDAY
with Elizabeth of Scarlet Words
(I’ll answer the questions this week – then it’s over to you guys!)
Seven things that make me smile;
1. curling up on the couch with a blanket on a cold Winter night
2. watching a child learn to do something for the first time
3. the sound of heavy rain on a tin roof
4. falling asleep with my boy, between clean sheets.
5. the thermos of coffee Tim makes for me each morning
6. watching my dog dream (his little legs run and run!), and his little snores
7. favourite smells: fresh laundry, baking bread, onion sizzling in butter
A memory I keep on file;

I remember sneaking into my brother’s room and trying on his Scout uniform over my pajamas when I was five years old. I expected to get into trouble, but apparently I was too adorable!
Three blogs that never go out of style;
Nadinerine
That Unreliable Girl
That’s What Your Mum Said
A piece of advice I’ve found worthwhile.
“Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.” (Henry Ford)
That’s it – now it’s your turn!
If you would like to be featured in the next installment of Smiley Sunday, send me an email (elizabeth@this domain) with your name, URL and the answers to the questions above. Each Sunday I’ll post a new set of answers.
To get the ball rolling, the first three volunteers can choose a print from my photography portfolio at Scarlet Arts – just a small thank you for sharing the love!

Look forward to seeing what others have to say and it was lovely reading your answers this week- thanks also for the links to the three blogs- I haven`t read any of them before so look forward to checking them out.
As above, what a great idea. Maybe this will make me fell less like a storker in your life! Happy to participate. An email from me will follow…. probalbe tomorow…… from when I am at work….. and don’t feel like working.
What a lovely outfit! I always wanted to be a scout. As for onions sizzling in butter, just add some garlic and I will be yours forever.
Thanks for your submissions everyone – I’m loving all your answers!
Aww! Thanks for your lovely words about my little ol’ weblog. Your post made me smile!
Awww that scouts outfit is adorable, especially with the pajamas – very stylish
