Time for our last daily giveaway! This business started (not sweetwater street but the parent company of Sweetwater Street) 22 years ago so it is fitting that the 22nd person to respond to yesterdays blog be the winner. Therefore Beth you are the proud winner of a new bath towel. Beth's response from yesterday was: honestly am not sure what I would change about our house. When we built it, I took lots into consideration so we built the house of our dreams. What needs done now is lots of redecorating because we were on a very limited budget when we built. However, our next major project is finishing the basement so our kids have somewhere to hang out with friends that is fun and safe. I would love to put new towels in redecorated bathrooms, so we will see what happens!!!!
Labor day always signals that summer is coming to an end and that makes me sad! I like the nice hot days and long evenings when it doesn't get dark until 9:00. Oh well, I am thankful for our 4 different seasons that we have here. That way you never get too bored with one thing. Although, relaxing by the beach 24 - 7 sounds great!!!! Feeling the warm sun beating on my face (I know too much is not good for me!) is one of the things that makes me happy although being with my family makes me the happiest! So go ahead and tell us what makes you happy - Respond by 12:00 Saturday and you will be entered into our contest to win a tote bag and a pillow. We thought for sure that a tote bag+ a pillow would = happiness!!!!
seeing my baby smile, watching an athlete medal in the olympics, eating chocolate covered strawberries, a funny movie, and much more...

Spending quality time with my family always makes me happy. Also, "me time" for scrapbooking, cardmaking, really any sort of crafting. It is my way of relaxing!!

Spending time with my grandchildren makes me the happiest! I don't bake much anymore, but let those kids show up and we are making cookies, cakes and brownies. We enjoy going down to my creaft room too where we come up with all kinds of creations! Yes, it's the grandkids that put a smile on my face!

What makes me happy is sitting outside in the sun reading a good book, playing with the puppy, and enjoying the great weather before it goes away.... or going to the gym to relax...

Visiting with family without being on a time line! Also, it makes me super happy when my kids are getting along. I love it when we have laughing fun bouts in the car or at the dinner table - it is absolutely the BEST thing ever.

A lot of things make me happy, but i'll say that the experience of waiting for my dh to get home friday nights, ESPECIALLY when its a 3 day weekend is so wonderful... its like the very beginning of the best time of the week, and there's so many possibilities!

The Fall season is my very favorite one. When my husband, two sons and I are in our family room with the fireplace blazing, that defines happiness to me! I am always thankful for our health and our extended families. Many thanks and great luck with your site. Cindi

Going home makes me happy... Whether it is home from work or back to Washington where I am from. It is just a warm feeling knowing you are going to a place where you can kick your feet up and enjoy being with the ones you love.

What makes me happy.... snuggling on the couch with hubby, listening to the teens "communicate" with each other and knowing that I can stay uninvolved until I hear the word "MOM."

I am happiest while watching my children have successes and being happy. They are my pride and joy, and I love nothing else better than enjoying them with my husband. ~Tanya

Happiness is when everything just clicks, when the house is clean, when I'm at peace, when no one is fighting.

My dog Jake. He sees the world through a lens that is pure, honest and completely joyful. He is 104 pounds of love and happiness. Of course the tote and pillow would come in somewhere in the top 10.

I am happiest in the mountains. A native of Colorado, I couldn't ask for a better place to live. And having my grandkids and rest of the family is grandeur.
