Thank You! My 3rd Award (Kreativ)

Jan, over at Ignite to Write gave me this award some time ago. Way back on April 26th to be exact. It was in the middle of things at the hospital not being good, and I intended to get back to it later........hadn't thought it would be this much later; but in truth I forgot about it. Was cleaning out some things on my computer and came across the photo. Yikes!

The rules with this award are to:
list 7 things you love
Link back to the person who gave you the award
Pass it along to 7 other bloggers.

Long over due, here I am

3. The rest of my family
4. Memories from Family and Friends
5. Special Friends

Following up on the award

I'm now to pass along the award to 5 people. Wow, I read so many blogs, and all are interesting, educational, and fun...only 5. Ok here goes:

First my SIL, a new blogger who's loving it all so much and having fun learning new things. Jan, at Ignite to Write

Next, Crochet Princess (Beth), for not only donating a mound of mittens, but for designing a pattern for mittens for The Bridge Project.

Next is Ghost, who's blog is always interesting; who donates to many causes with her big heart; and who is always willing to help with computer questions.

Sissie, who rallied people here on blogger and over at Crochetville last year to make 100 lapghans to ensure seniors at a nursing home had a better Christmas, and this year is rallying the troops to make ghans for sick children for Victory Gang Camps; one of the late great
Paul Newman, Hole in the Wall Camps.

And Wormie, who's personal blog is always interesting; her willingness to share patterns and her 2nd site, Marine Corp Kids, such a worthy cause that she maintains.

My best to you all, keep up the good work and thanks for being such wonderful blog buddies. You all now have the same tough job when you go to pass along the award.

Save the picture/award button to your computer and post on your blog, with a link to here...my blog.

Pick your five people, leave them a note you've done so and they in turn will follow the same procedure.

Thank you again Octopi for giving this award to me....award button in previous post ladies.

---------
Muchas Gracias for this sweet award. You sure know how to make someone feel good. Now, I must give some thought as to whom to pass this award along too....stay tuned.
(finished a pair of mittens last night and am almost finished with a scarf for the homeless project. Gonna work some on the Candy Corn Ghan, thats been in the works for a realllllllly long time, while I'm watching the super bowl).

AWARD!

Well this is fun, and just what I needed. I didn't know this cute award existed; but what a clever idea it is. I was feeling a little blue after my Buckeyes last night played so poorly in the football game against USC. Though not taking anything away from them, they played very well. Congratulations USC.

Now this cute little award was bestoyed on me this am, by Sandie. Thank you very much, much appreciated.

To carry this forward, I am to select 7 blogs and pass along the award. What a fun and positive thing to do. We all need a hand up now and again.

Here are the rules:
1) Add the logo of the award to your blog.
2) Add a link to the person who awarded it to you (as shown above).
3) Nominate at least seven other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on your blog.5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

**interruption here, need to look for batteries for my mouse. Getting a message my batteries are critical. Yikes.

Batteries, that took some doing. But, I'm back. Sandie had a rule as she looked at her to nominate for the award, blogs that are updated at least monthly, and about crafting. I like a bit of variety both in my own blogging and in my visiting of blogs; though I would say crafting is the biggest topic. I enjoy all my blogging buddies, but like Sandie tried to select those I didn't see on her list.

• Kristin's blog, always fun to see what her kiddos are up to.
• Litknit of this and that, lots of good stuff
• Tammy's, such a wonderful photographer and fun stories about her family
• Sissie's such beautiful lapghan's to see, so many varieties for such a good cause
• Kahucho, she makes such interesting and unusual items.
• Joanie's Knitting by the Ocean..she's very talented
• Priscilla's, By hook or needles

I'm off now to go leave messages for the above blogs, and pop in on Sandie's to say thank you.

During the game last night I almost finished my Sp. Olympics scarf (picture tomorrow), have a few rows left of my 3rd Red Scarf Scarf...those will go out in tomorrow's mail.

I need to take pictures of and document my stash for Ravelry...

I need to get my projects posted over on Ravelry, very behind on that

Dug up some plants for my brother and his wife, and need to tidy up the yard from that. Do some weeding too.

Have a super day, one and all.
