Spring Contest Preview!

Ready for a Sneak Peak?

Here are the entries (so far) for the Etsy Spring Contest!

Blogger Award Catch Up!

So lots of family stuff been going on, with the loss of my uncle and things. So i am trying to play a bit of blogger catch up! In my internet online absence i was honored to be awarded with a blogger award! I was truly grateful!

The Lemonade Award

WeeKnit was so kind to include me among 9 others for the Lemonade Award! Now i had never heard of this award before, but i have to say its a very cool one! And of course always fun to pass it on!

After a long week, heck month, it really was a pleasant surprise!

The Lemonade Award is given to someone who has shown gratitude or a great attitude in a given week. Then each recipient gets to pass the award along to 10 more people. The hard part for me, is narrowing it down to just 10 others! I follow so many great blogs, so please do not feel left out if i did not choose you (this time around!) You all, in my book, deserve it. But these 10, i feel, stood out the most to me when i think of what this award stands for! They are always uplifting, inspiring, creative, and positive blogs.

Rules for the award:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate 10 blogs that show attitude and/or gratitude.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they have received this award by commenting on a post.
5. Nominate your favorites and link to this blog.

Cozy
StarsReflection
Michelle'sCharmWorld
TwentyPoundTabby
SoulReader
Cicada
Life as a Tea Party (aka Vusova)
Audreys Country Crafts
Nyblaque
Lady V's

So i hope you take the time and check out their blog too!

Fondest Memories

So i know you might be sick of seeing pics of my Uncle Mike. But bear with me one last time. I felt i had to do one last blog in his honor. I was sifting through some more pictures, and ran across these.

Probably one of my fondest memories of my Uncle Mike growing up as a kid, was when i was HIS date to our cousin Meff's wedding. (she was his cousin so my 2nd cousin or however that works). But my brother had been ill with lyme's disease so my parents had to stay back home with him. My uncle Flew all the up from san antonio to where we lived in fort worth, texas. Picked me up, and i got to be "his date" for the week.

I remember thinking it was the coolest thing in the world! I got to go out of town with out my parents and my brother didnt get to go! I got to go to Chicago, see the Sears Tower, travel all over the city just me and my uncle! I got to hang out with my ever so cool cousins and aunt (see pic above). I just thought i was the luckiest girl ever, cause i was my uncle's date. (yes that is me in the blonde hair in front oh my how times have changed!)

I was probably 4 or 5 in this one, my Uncle mike to the left and Uncle Jack to the right. I have always had the best uncle's ever! Miss You Uncle Mike!
