Kim passed me this wonderful award that really touched my heart....I have made so many friends through scrapping and blogging....The reason for this award speaks to my heart and I am so blessed to have Kim share it with me.This award is given to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These bloggers are not interested in increasing their own status, but rather aim to find friends and be friends. The hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are born!

Ok..now maybe I read this too early in the morning after another night of no sleep..or maybe your just too good with words but...THE TEARS! Dang it woman! You've got me crying! What a beautiful award and the heart to most of us are our friends and our family...thank you for thinking of me and your kind words! I am so full of youngsters in the house that I am sure it does remind you all of years past...I am not ready to be in your boat though (sooo not ready to have teens! yikes!)
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful blessing this morning and right start to my weekend.
I always say that your LO's are like treasures...but I think the real treasure is just you....
Sandy, I always say...what goes around, comes around. ...and you prove it. You have made soooo many nice friendships because you exert kindness, compassion and you are soooooooooo generous in sharing your talents, so it is just natural that everyone would want to do the same for you.
ReplyDeleteI am sure these 5 ladies will agree with me...
...that you are AMAZING!!
