An Award


Look what I won!
I woke up this morning to receive a very nice surprise
from my dear fellow blogger Sue @ I Need Mom.
The Sugar Doll Award!
Sue is such a fabulous cook,
and always willing to share her yummy recipes.
She has a marvelous way with decorating and tablescapes, too.
If it's cold where you are now, hop over to her site
and experience some wonderful posts from her Christmas visit to
Disney World in Florida, it's truly like a mini vacation!
A big sweet thank you to Sue.

Since this is my first award, I'm very honored!

I'm about to break the rules, or more pointedly rule 3 and 5.
I am fully aware that some of you love to receive awards
and that other simply are honored to be thought of,
but don't have the time and energy to complete the requirements.
Because of this I'm gifting this award to each one of my
visitors, that's including you!
If you are so inclined, please accept this award on my behalf.
You are truly special, a true Sugar Doll.
For those who would rather pass, no problem, I get it,
know that you are special too!!
 
With much love and fanfare.... Dee Dee

You are so thoughtful and kind DeeDee. Josh is home and although she is slow and wobbly I think she is doing fine. Hugs to you my friend.

Thanks for the kind words:) You keep house for a family of 19...how can you stay awake to do anything else?

In answer to your earlier question, I think pet art would be wonderful...unless you winner didn't have a pet. Maybe you could sketch their house??

Have a great night!

Sue

I am so happy to see that I am not the only rule breaker! I do like that we both posted the 10 Things and learned more about each other, that's the part I enjoy, the rest — too much work. I like what Sherry from Country Wings in Phoenix commented on mine about all the rules, she'd rather be blogging with friends. She is one smart cookie.

I am impressed with all you've done and continue to do, but #7 And #9 are my favorites and I totally agree!
