4 Wonderful Wednesday

So, what is it that I should talk about first?  

Should I show off what I am working on??  

Announce the winner of the 'I Love my Mommy Giveaway'?  

Show off a featured artist??  

UUUMMM, 

I think I'll show off my work first!!!  

You'll have to read through to find the rest!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember the buttons from yesterday?

Remember the buttons?  Click here to see them again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, on to the business of my 'I LOVE MY MOMMY" blog hop giveaway!

 

And here is what our winning entry said - 

She will get an email notice this morning and she has 48 hours to respond or another winner will be picked.  Ya hoooooo for you - Ms. Debbie!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found this wonderful artist, mostly by accident!  Funkyfindzonline takes rescued items and turns them into works of art!  After a lifetime of art and working with recycled items she has now taken the 'internet' world by storm.  Her's is a story of marketing and 'working' the web to grow her presence on the web - mostly by using all the tools out there that are free!  Go check out her eclectic studio and read about her on her bio page or through her many links!    Remember to let her know where you heard about her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't forget there is still a way to win one of my creations.  This bracelet can be won via simplystacie's blog - go check it out and enter - you have until the 15th!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, today I want to leave you with this thought

It doesn't take a superhuman to be an encourager.

In fact, words are often not even necessary.

A smile or a hug can convey a heart full of support and love.  ~KM

13 Marvelous Monday

What a MARVELOUS weekend it was!  Yes, it was Mother's Day and YES, I was 'taken care of' yesterday by my kids!  Here are the 'little' gifts I got from hubby and my kids!

From Hubby

Card from Monster

Candle from Monster

Coupon Book from Aye

What a great day.  Mom-in-law came over and enjoyed the day with us.  Hubby BBQ'd hamburgers and hotdogs for us and I had 'pre-made' several dips and appetizers.  It was a GREAT DAY!!
