Passing on the Award(s).............

Okay, so now I have time to pass on the Lemonade Award that I received from Tammy. Thank you again, Tammy, it was exciting to receive my first award! I am still quite new to blogging and already have my regulars that I enjoy, many of which have received the Lemonade Award.

Here are the rules:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.

2. Nominate blogs which show great Attitude and/or Gratitude

3. Link to your nominees within your post.

4. Let them know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.

5. Share the love and link this post to the person from whom you received your award.

The Lemonade Award is passed to bloggers for showing great Attitude and/or Gratitude. The bloggers that I would like to pass the award to is:

Hege at Heges Hobbykrok - Her blog is wonderful, I especially love her most recent knitting project and her Friday Favourites are always great picks.

Beth at WeePereas - Beth was my very first swap partner and will always hold a special place in my blogging swapping heart!

Jeanette at Temporary Insanity - more on Jeanette below.

I also received my 2nd award - The Tree of Happiness Award from Lisa at 5 Orange Potatoes. Two awards in one week, thank you all so much.



I also nominate Jeanette at Temporary Insanity for this award. Jeanette is a teacher (gotta support the teachers), mom and avid crafter. The pictures of her kids and wild stash of crafting goodies amke me smile. Jeanette was also one of my first swap partners.

I've Been Tagged.............

I've been tagged by Lisa over at 5 Orange Potatoes to post the 6th picture in my 6th photo folder. Love this pic, it's a great action shot, you can almost hear him yelling Whoooo Hoooo!

This picture of Max was taken in Tahoe Easter '08 on his first real trip to the snow. The trip was a wonderful experience for Max, the house that we stayed at was amazing and had the perfect sledding hill right out the back door. We spent nearly a week with my family and he still talks about collecting easter eggs in the snow. It was especially memorable for me because my dad took Max on his first adventure on skis - my dad taught me how to ski when I was 8, the same age as Max.

Now that I've been tagged, I now tag:

Angela at My Favorite Things

Tammy at Laugh, Live, Learn, Love

Laura at Dropstitch

Hege at Heges Hobbykrok

My First Award........

An Award: So, I received my very first award! The Lemonade Award is passed to bloggers for showing great Attitude and/or Gratitude. Thank you Tammy so very much. Tammy's blog was one of the very first that I found when I discovered the world of blogging. I love that her posts are incredibly honest and inspiring - it can be difficult to be so honest with yourself let alone to a world of strangers (at least some are). I am awed by her daughters and all of the exploring that they do together.






I know that there are some rules to the award - it's getting late here so I will complete with the follow through in tomorrow's post.


Fun: In other news, Max had a playdate today with a great buddy from school. We have a mutual agreement with fellow parents that there will be no media (TV, music, computers) involved in playdates. When you let children use their own imaginations it's amazing where they will go. Max and his friend spent two inspired hours building a wonderful gnome treehouse out of every block and building thingy that they could find. I wish that I could have taken a picture before they proceeded to demolish it!


Crafting: My creative space aka my "Treehouse" is a mess. I am committed to getting it organized and cleaned up. The hard part is that it's a tiny room that is used for an office/storage/crafting/Max's art space and my husband's sports paraphernalia dumping ground. Yikes?! Where do I start? First I think that I have to clear my bedroom closet. This will give me space to box up and store my husbands junk, oops, I mean treasures :) Second............ hmm.


Dinner: My husband is out of town so we had our family favourite - Breakfast for Dinner and fruit salad for dessert. Does anyone else do breakfast for dinner?

I treasure the winter, but look forward to days like this.............
