Blog Award

I received this nice kudos from Karen at 6 Wacky Women. Thank you so much, Karen! She has some beautiful and fun creations, and check out her pergamano posts. WOW!. I would like to pass this award on to Janine, Tammy, Barb, Jennifer, and Catherine.

A Nice Award

It always feels good to know other people enjoy your work. This award was given to me by Karen. We are supposed to post the following sentiment with it:

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY- nearness in space, time, and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming; and these kind bloggers, aim to find friends and to be friends. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please, give more attention to these writers!

Deliver this award to eight bloggers, who must choose eight more, and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award.

The eight people I chose have already received this award, so for now I will just say that everyone deserves this. There are so many wonderful crafters out there!

Award and Some Candy

Being a slave driver today, since I seem to have some more energy today...Doing house cleaning and dragging my son and niece down with me. :) My daughter comes in from college this evening and will be here for a week. CAN'T WAIT!! Have some things I meant to post a couple days ago, but the Post It note fell of my monitor and I forgot. Plus, I've slept since then and brain function sometimes seems to get wiped clean just by doing that. HAHAHA! Will hopefully get a card posted today.

Karen over at 6 Wacky Women left me this award a couple days ago. Thank you so much Karen! That's very sweet. I check out her (their) blog everyday; some gorgeous stuff there! We're supposed to pass it on to five people. This is the hard part.

EDITED TO ADD: FOR ANYONE WANTING TO SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS TO RECOVERING SOLDIERS
I knew I was forgetting something. Must not have turned brain completely on this morning.
There was an e-mail circulating around with an address to send Christmas cards to recovering wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fake, so called, and sure enough the address is incorrect and the lady gave me the correct addie.

Holiday Mail for Heroes

P.O. Box 5456

Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

Try to have all mail there by December 10. The cards will then be taken to Walter Reed Hospital and distributed. I think this is a very small thing we can do to let those soldiers know we appreciate what they have gone through.

Blog Award

This was a very pleasant surprise! Barb gave me this very nice award. This was a real pick-me-up after I started a bit of a downward pitty spiral. Thanks Barb! She has been super busy with her images for Christmas cards. Now for the rest of the story:
1. The winner may put the logo on their blog. (Yay...will proudly display this!)
2. Put a link to the person who sent you the award.
3. Nominate 5 blogs.
