I'D LIKE TO THANK . . . .

Whew! I'm certainly glad I hadn't packed away all of my dress-up shoes or my sparkly jewels or my needlepoint stool because my blogger friend Grace at Grace Today shared this beautiful award with me. This is much to special an occasion to be caught in flip-flops or sneakers or (collective gasp) in my bare feet! Grace has become so very special to me over the past several months. I'm looking forward to meeting her face to face one day - if not on this side of the River Jordan, then on Heaven's side!



It is my honor to pass this award along to five blogers who are all very special to me. Please stop by to visit them. I promise you won't be disappointed!

My Junque Syster, Sharron from Vintage Girl at Heart who shares my love of thrifting and alley pickin' and turning other people's trash into our treasures. I'm hoping one day some of her creative juices will overflow on to me! We may not be sisters by birth but we've defintely become sisters at heart!
My adopted Junque Niece, Hayley from Rambles by HayHay. She is the younger version of Vintage Girl at Heart and has inherrited her auntie's sweet disposition, creativity and love of junque.
Adrienne from With a Grateful Heart. Like Grace, I've never met Adrienne face to face, but I would love to have the opportunity one day. Her sweet spirit and loving heart make her blog such a wonderful place to visit.
Colleen from Mainstreet Memories. Colleen has such a wonderful outlook on life. I can always count on her to make me smile.
And last, but certainly not least, Elaine from Peace for the Journey. Elaine has become so very special to me. Her writing is definitely a gift from God. She has challenged me to look beyond the surface of seemingly simple, every day things and to dig deeper into the Word. If not this side of the River Jordan . . . !

I really hate to stop here! So for all of you who inspire me, challenge me, make me laugh . . . from my perch atop my antique needlepoint stool, please accept this award!



Blessings y'all!

I love you ALL this much!

I've been honored by Grace with this absolutely wonderful award. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I've received a "hug" all the way from Sunny California from a beautiful lady I've come to love and admire through her blogging. I felt such an honor deserved more than flip flops and unpainted toe nails as I climb up on my needlepoint stool to accept the award. I decided to don my favorite dressup shoes and some of my sparkliest sparkles for the occasion.



The reason for the stool? Certainly not to place myself above any of you! No! At 5 foot used to be almost 2 inches but not so much any more, the stool is meerly an aid so that I can return the hug without the average person having to bend down and risk injuring their back in the process!

At the risk of leaving someone out, I've decided to pass this award on to ALL OF YOU! Each of you who visit me here have become so special to me in so many ways. So close your eyes and place your left hand on your right shoulder! Now place your right hand on your left shoulder and squeeze real tight! Consider yourself hugged!

P.S. If my Forever Friend happens to be reading this, hang on to that hug for an extra long time! You've been on my mind all day. Love you lots!

Blessings Y'all!
