~A Beautiful Blog~

Blogland has so many hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. I've made so many friends through the years through my blog. I just don't ever seem to have enough time to visit all of them!

I had the chance of 'meeting' a sweet blogger: Jamie Esposito. Her blog, The Simple Things, is delightful! Jamie is a SAHM, and the mother of a 2 1/2 year old daughter, Lila Grace. Lila has started gymnastics, which is how Jamie found my shop, and my blog! She loves taking pictures, and also loves my beloved Diet Coke. (you all know I'm addicted!) She's relatively new to blogging but loves it....as you'll see from her writings~

Stop by her blog and say 'hello'. You'll be glad you did~

~I've Been Tagged~

I've been tagged by a sweet little miss named Chesteney, who writes a blog called, "Decaffinated: Chronicles Of A Milk-Drinking Diva". Chesteney....I want you to know that I've been tagged a bit....and probably have some bloggers mad at me for not linking back to them and playing along, but I think that this is such a special award, given to you by Reverand Mar Mathias Darin, that I wanted to play along with you! So.....I have to:

*post the award picture
*link to the person who tagged me (Chesteney)
*tag more people to pass it on to (I'm cheating and only passing it on to 4!)

I pass this to:

Mel
Artsy Clay
Kat
Rebekah

If they wish to play along, they can do the three *ed things in the list above!

Chesteney....Thank you for passing this on to me. I think you are such a lucky young lady to have a mom who is helping you blog at your tender age!! You are both very blessed! xoxoxox Grandma Carol

~I'm Kreativ!~

I won this Kreativ Blogger award from my friend, ballerinagirl. Thank you so much, sweet lady! I now have to list "6 Things That Make Me Happy" and pass it on to 6 other bloggers".

6 Things That Make Me Happy:

1. My family.
2. My puppies.
3. Coffee with friends.
4. My mother's smile.
5. Creating.
6. Cuddling in front of the fire on winter nites.

I am passing this on to these six Kreativ Bloggers:

1. Erin
2. Sandy
3. Carol
4. Sarah
5. Mel
6. Nancy

Each of these women have touched my life in their own unique ways. I look forward to reading their blogs. They truly inspire me in ways they probably don't even know! Stop by their blogs and see for yourself!

I've been hesitant to set up a blog, as my knowledge of computers is shamefully limited to what my son, Tom, has painstakingly taught me. So....I'm muddling through this on my own. I'm not much of a "Risk-taker", as I think these first attempts may reflect!

Spreading my time between dreaming about the next time I see my two grandbabies, and creating & selling on EBay and Etsy, has been a challenge....and adding a blog?? Well.....let's see how it goes!
