i'm home!

After an oh-so-fabulous trip to the Florida Keys, I am home! It was an amazing trip -- I loved every minute! I am now busy scaling Mt. Laundry, peeking through giant blades of grass that need to be mowed and wondering how so much clutter can simply burst out of my minivan . . . whew ;). In between the mountain of chores, I just had to peek into my blog to see what had been happening and was thrilled to see all of the fun goings on! I won a beautiful perfume from the so very, very talented Kelly Ann at Kelly Ann's Studio (happy sigh, tear in corner of eye, ;) ) and two warm and lovely blog awards from the sweetest of sweet SITS sister Chrissy at DSL Kids! Thank you, Kelly Ann and Chrissy! I am just tickled . . . And thank you to all of my wonderful blogging friends who stopped by with a smile and a comment or two or three. You have made my week! Happy to be home, my friends, happy to be home . . .

a blog book . . .

I was visiting Kelly Ann's Studio this afternoon and came across a wonderful idea in one of her posts. Perhaps you all know about this, but it is exciting news to me! The Cutest Blog on the Block has 'blog books' for sale for under $25. If you log onto TCBOTB, and then click on "blog to book", you can have TCBOTB whip up a book from your blog in about a minute and a half, for free to peek at. Definitely fun, definitely worth a visit! Perhaps I will treat myself to a book when I reach 200 posts or for my birthday? ;) So sweet. Thanks, Kelly Ann, for sharing this great idea. Boy, have I been living under a rock or what? Please check out Kelly Ann's Studio by following her sweet card on the left of my site.
