Snow and Sweethearts...


Around here, it would seem like the week for Snow and Sweethearts.

I've decided to revamp my this little bloggety home of mine to reflect this strange little world, where Jack Frost has gotten a wee bit out of hand in sugaring the world with his icy work. Hopefully you aren't having to shovel your way out of blizzards. If you are sitting toasty at home, enjoy the blog "snow," which I am sure is by far less anxiety inducing!

And...do you have Valentines on the brain? I must admit, I can be a Valentine grinch...but sometimes if you are aware of the LOVE around you, it isn't so bad.

Favorite things I LOVE (the short list):

*Parents and family
*Old Fashioned kitchen things, that I still use
*Knowing ONE DAY I will be good on my Violin
*Being able to write in a creative way
*TIME to paint dolls, dance, and read
*Having many animal friends and being constantly fascinated by the natural world

Love is in the form of Friends like you. Sometimes friends are super-sweet....
Recently my wonderful friend, and accomplished doll artist Denise, of DLYNNE ARTdolls, gave me this award:



Thank you Denise! By the way, to see her incredible wor, click HERE. You will not be disappointed!

So, the rules:

I am to list 6 other recipients for this award! Only SIX? Ahhh, madness! There are so many of you that are so deserving of this! So here is what has turned out to be a very difficult 6 to narrow down to:

  1. Hey Zan,
    I don't know if it is just my computer, but the blue letters on the green background have the same color value and are really hard to read.
