All I Can Say Is WOW.......

                    

....in the past three days, I have been the greatful (and surprised!) recipient of five...count 'em...FIVE awards. This leaves me at a loss for words, which some of you might find a bit on the humorous side, since I lean toward the verbose, given half a chance.  ;-)

The first three come from Susie Jefferson (who designed my luscious blog header) at 1st FLOOR FLAT . It was odd because before I opened her post that had me receiving an award, I had been thinking about how much information she puts out into the blogosphere and the amount of time she invests in other bloggers, trying to make the home of their words and art look so lovely and unique, and that she indeed deserved a special award.
Hmmmmmm........I recall instructions coming along with these.......oh boy. It is probably That I have to tell you a bit about myself but for the most part, my life is on this blog!
Let me go on to the second person to surprise me, marianne at marianne's art blog . I was most surprised when I found she had passed the Beautiful Blogger Award on...and believe me, I am anything but BEAUTIFUL at the moment!!! HA! Marianne and I sort of bumped into each other by chance through a mutual list and I have been smitten by her art ever since. If you love mixed media, and I do mean MIXED....wonder things!....give her blog a spin and check out how incredible her work is! (and photos too....I cannot forget those)

Now finally, again, I was gifted with The Deborah Award from my long time friend Jan at Laughing Dog Arts. Jan told me I didn't have to post this but she knows how well I listen at any given moment, and I wanted to give her blog another shout out so here I am Jan! Misbehaving again!!!
All kidding aside, I can't express how much these mean, and it was a heck of a week last week---I mean a stinker.....sometimes things come to you when you need them most.
And now, to pass them on.
OH MY.
I would like to give these out to everyone, but I think maybe I will narrow it down a little and hopefully there won't be wounded feelings or a war......
