awards....

I'm so bad with these awards.... ... I do feel honoured to receive them and yet just never seem to remember to post them..or move them along..... sigh....

Here goes with a couple... this one is from Michelle

7 things I love:

lovely sunny days...
my yard and garden...
the birdies playing out there...
sitting on the patio enjoying it all.. (especially love that one...and, oh,.. don't forget a nice cold glass of "white" whilst sitting!!)...
baking and cooking...
having time to play with my dolls and bears...


...hey...this one was easy...I love it all!.........................................

Michelle's Mum passed this one on to her and then Michelle.... gave it to us all... as I give it to you.... please take this fun one home and give it away too ...









some time ago .... way back in April as a matter of fact...Linda gave me this award.... she calls it the "Fabby blog award".... better make sure I check the spelling on that and don't call it the "flabby award"..nobody wants one of those !! ... her blog is pretty fab too..check out her latest arty stuff and great sunsets pics........








" The authors say that blogs who receive this award are exceedingly charming . This blog invests in proximity in space , time and relationships . These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends .They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandisement . Our hope is that when the ribbons of these awards are cut , even more friendships will be propagated . Please give your kind attention to these writers !Deliver this award to 8 bloggers who will choose 8 more , and include this cleverly written text in to the body of the award . "







See.....this is the part where I flounder...now for this one I am supposed to choose 8 others to pass it along to and I always hate to choose..... it's kind of like the spelling bee in grade school.. or the softball team... somebody gets chosen and others don't, and.... somebody either feels bad or left out or doesn't really want to be chosen in the first place... and right now the blog world is about awarded out aren't they?... it's tricky.... Pauline of Valewood Bears passed it on to me. Check out her latest little cuties... mini elephants....

I'm gonna move it forward ... by breaking the rules on this one.... and give it to all who visit and read here regularly as we have become a fairly close and fun group. It almost seems like family more than far flung, furthest-reaches-of-the-globe, blog buddies to me.... ..






and...look.... this fun one too....and it's been so darn long that I have totally forgotten who gave it to me..... sorry..... bad me!


I thank you all for my awards..... all of them.....

have a great day! It's another beaut here.... brilliant sunshine, warm breezes...some U.S. Open happening in between gluing dolly thingies.... and running off to Michael's for more glue and to the the Sewing Room for machine needles...I hit a pin..... ooops... wrecked the only needle I could find... had to resorot to my old backup machine that a friend gave me when I began to sew.... thanks again for that Kim...see?? I still get some use out of it....at least I didn't have to run off in Friday rush hour traffic to get a needle.











chickpea/ cucumber/tomato/parsley/red onion salad for supper.....


UPDATE::::..... I knew it!! knew darn well I would forget at least one..perhaps even two.... and Abi caught me. Oh....I feel bad now.... *blush* ..... she awarded me this one...





This is how it works:
Rules of Blog Award Acceptance
1. Please accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.
2. Pass award to 5 other blogs that you've newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award!


I've just been too busy this past while to look for any new blogs... so, as soon as I finish this doll I promise I will "discover" some and post them for your viewing pleasure... how's that Abi? does it get me off the hook? huh?.. huh? ...
Hope I didn't forget anybody else...and please forgive me if I did.... 'kay?
