An Award for me. YIPPIE!!

This is my first award and I'm just as proud of it as I would be if it was a million dollars. Ok, I lied, I'd be more excited over the million dollars. Serena over @ Young Appalachian Quilter gave me this award this morning on her blog. I "heart" this girl. She lives less than 2 hours from me. She's so sweet and super nice. Our plans are to meet soon. So, I'm supposed to send this award on to 8 people, and to be honest I don't know that I can. I don't know that I know 8 people in blogland well enough for an award. But, I'm going to try, and in no particular order...........

1) Serena- super sweet, nice girl, i love getting emails and comments from her. I look forward to her posts every day. I think they are so well written. She has some that I've read that are straight from the heart.

2) Pat- what a great lady! I look up to her as a "mother" figure. She's so knowledgeable. I can email her anything, any question (mostly about quilting) and she can always help me. And normally the same day. I enjoy looking forward to her daily post as well.

3) Carol- another great lady! she has the cutest grandkids. Trust me on this one. Her comments and emails are so thoughtful.

4) Dena- She too has great quilting knowledge. Still when I see her picture, I can't believe she has grandkids. WOW Go check out her lastest blog post, it's hilarious.

I'm going to stop there. If you don't want to be tagged in this award, I apologize in advance. Just ignore it. You don't have to blog it.

Thanks Serena for my first award!

Awards for E

(I thought I'd give you all and myself a break from the Turtle quilt) So, today (yesterday) was E's award ceremony at school. I was so impressed that he got 4 awards. I was so proud, as was every other parent there.

This is the principal giving him his "Reading Counts" award. This was a metal, very nice!
This is his teacher (she's just a little older than E, lol) giving him a "Keyboarding" award. I missed the first award he has in his hand. It was a "Social Studies Smash" award.
And his final and 4th award was a "Media Center" award. He "worked" in the Media Center after school shelving books and such.
Here he is proudly and awkwardly grinning with his 4 awards. Again they were:
*Social Studies Smash Award
*Reading Counts Award-he read 200 books
*Keyboarding Award
*Media Center Appreciation Award

I *heart* this kid!
