It just keeps coming..

Okay, the first time I won something on a blog, I won another thing like a day or so later, even though I *never* win things.

So now, I won something again, and, whaddya know...I won another thing a day later!!! :D I entered CraftyB's giveaway for the cute little Cath Kidston purse here! I'm on a rooooolllllll!!! Rofl

I wonder if that's the end of the streak, then?? :p

It pays to participate...

So, I'm having a peek at my blogstats, and notice a number of visitors from over at Pink Chalk Studios. Huh?? Why?? Dash over there to have a look, and discover I had WON!! And I hadn't even entered!!! All I had done was make a comment, which I can't even remember doing, and she put me in her random draw!! How cool is that?? :D

I will be very interested to see the differences between her way, and the way I made up from a vague memory of a pic of hers, lol!

You *like* me, you really *like* me!!!

I've got two more awards!!! :happydancehappydancehappydance:


Patty, over at Pipstitch, gave me one, (and also tagged me at the same time), so THANK YOU, Patty!!

So the rules are..

1. The winner can put the logo on her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of those you’ve nominated.


Hmm...seven blogs I love...how do I narrow THAT down!!?? Okay, I nominate:

Cidell ..I just lurk over there, and drool at her sewing skills.

Hoppo Bumpo ..She likes to give her family funny names..I think she spends too much time surrounded by males.

Gigi ..I don't even scrapbook...what am I doing lurking there all the time???

Leah ..I dunno...I like reading her. :p

Kathleen ..She makes the most adorable kid clothes, and then GIVES THEM AWAY!!

Curlypops ..She makes stuff. Cute stuff. Nuff said.

And Tonya ..I'm getting her back. :p


The next one came from Barbara, a little while ago, but I completely missed the mention of my name, til she said something the other day!! Thank you so much, Barbara!!


Now...I need to track down someone who can speak...whichever language that is (Portuguese? Brazilian??), and tell me what the rules are, exactly! lol

THANK YOU SO MUCH, both of you!!! It means so much to me!! :D

I'd like to thank the Academy...

Okay, so I go for the corn...everybody already knows that. :p So move past it. The important news is My First Award!! Tonya over at PuddinPop gave me the "Prestigious" Arte Y Pico Award (I had to look that up....cause I always think of it as the Pico de Gallo award...you know, chilli and lime.....mmmmmmmm), which is like, you know, totally awesome, cause she is one of those people that makes me wonder when the heck am *I* going to grow up and become an amazing, super together Wonder Woman, too! :D She has 7 kids, and homeschools, AND still manages to out-create me!! I am working hard just trying to do my now *ONE* kid, and I STILL don't have her output! :p

Okay, so, the strings attached mean I have to pick five blogs of my own to pass it on to. Can I just go on the record right here and now that I believe if you have already gotten the award, you should put it on the sidebar, so people know, and don't double up?? Because the blogs I want to pass it on to are all so great, I have a really hard time believing none of them have been given this yet, but I have no idea how far down to search through their archives!!!

Anyway..on to the blogs:

Donna at Purple Kappa...she is just totally creative, and is in the same category in my head as Tonya...super together Wonder Woman. :p She's even teaching herself Japanese, too. Oh, yeah, AND she is unschooling her two kids, which, as a mostly unschooler myself, I can tell you is HARD!!! Did I mention Wonder Woman already??

Sara at Sadie Olive...I like pretty pictures, and she has them by the truckload. I am a sucker for pretty pictures everytime.

Small Hands..I don't know what her name is, and I am not really interested in quilting, which seems to be her main focus, but I have had her bookmarked for a couple of years, way, way before I ever even started regularly following blogs, because for some reason, she just strikes a chord with me, and I can't stay away.

Okay, so she only has four posts...and I only just discovered her this morning...and I don't know her name, either....but based on what I can see so far, I am going to be following her for a loooong time!!! Oh...it's Pintuck.

Nadia (I think), at One Silent Winter. She visited my blog a little while ago, and I was so bowled over by her images, I had to make a whole post about it. She puts into pictures and words, how I feel when I am not happy.

There ya go!! Five awesome blogs!!! I am sure you will find them just as splendiferous as I do!! :p

It CAME!!!

My beautiful, beautiful tote bag I won over on Rashida's blog arrived!! I looooooove it!!! And the perfect size for essentials tossed in when I go out! Woohoo!!



Thank you so much, Rashida!! (Isn't that button the cutest??) Your workmanship is IMPECCABLE! :D

I've got green!!!

It arrived! And not only did she send me a total little cutie, but she sent me a GREEN one! I wonder if she was stalking my green love? :p


Dd was disappointed, cause she was hoping for pink, her fave color, and my not-so-favorite color. :p Goes awfully well with green, though. :p

Again!!!

OMG, I won again!!!!! :jawdrop: Man, I am a relatively new intro to the blogging world, and have only just gotten really into following other blogs, thanks to Bloglines, and what an introduction I am getting!!! :D :D

Check out the ADORABLE prize I won from the wonderful wonderful Beata!! Suki, the aforementioned 13 yo dd, is practically ripping me away from the screen to get a better look. :p


When I saw them on her blog, I was SOO impressed with the incredible neat- and even-ness of her creations...now I get a chance to get up close and personal with one...I can't WAIT!!! :D :D

Thank you so so so much, Beata!!!

OMG I WON!!!

I just won my first ever blog draw over at I Heart Linen!! And what a prize!! I am totally waffling over which one to choose!




Rashida is going through a tough time right now, and I am amazed that she even wants to deal with something so trivial as this. Maybe sewing is the therapy she needs right now. I know it is for me.

Thank you so much. :-)
