Awards and Chickenpox

Gosh....where has the week gone?

Which one of you is stealing my days? Huh? Huh? Give it back... I need them!!! ROFL

Jokes aside, this week really flew by... and not because I was having too much fun!

Both my kiddos got chickenpox... YAY! (NOT!!!) lol They are very whiny, wanting attention ALL the time. But I guess I shouldn't complain, neither of them had fever and there are no spots on their faces or arms. Like the doctor said: They have chickenpox, but they're not sick! So, it definitely could've been worse!

Funny thing is, last week we were talking about chickenpox at the designers group... and a few days later, my kids had it! Like Andrea said... I never knew email could be contagious! HAHA

I'm so tired...my house is a huge mess, and there are piles of laundry and dishes to do... Any volunteers? :D Hmmmm... didn't think so! LOL

Tuesday I got two wonderful surprises when I opened my email... 2 Blog Awards!!! It sure did brighten my day!

The first one was from Paula (pkdoll):

I had received it before, but was thrilled to get it again! Makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside! THANKS PAULA! MWAH!

And here are the rules for this one:

1. The winner gets to put the award on her blog.

2. You must link back to the one that sent it to you.

3. Forward this to 7 people whose blogs you love and links on your blog to theirs.

4. Leave a comment on the blogs of the people you picked letting them know where to pick it up.

So, for my 7 I choose the girls I met at Amigas & Scraps.

1 - Chelly - she's the only exception, we met last year thru a pregnancy community and became really good friends. We started scrapbooking practically together! Te amo, amiga!!!

2 - Simone

3 - Waleria

4 - Carolzinha

5 - Vanessa (Vanroses)

6 - Patricia (patfazarte)

7 - Keka

And the second award was given to me by Chelly (yes, the same mentioned above...lol):

PremioProximidade1

The award comes with this text:

"A todas nos encanta los blogs, en la mayoría sus objetivos son mostrar las maravillas y hacer amistades; hay personas que no se interesan cuando les damos un premio y desta manera contribuyen a cortar esos lazos; ¿queremos que se corten o se propaguen?Entonces tratemos de prestar mas atención a ellos! Debemos entregarlo a 8 blogger's que deben hacer lo mismo y poner el texto."

But I'm going to cheat and give it away for more than 8 people! (shhhhh....don't tell on me, ok?)

I want to give it to all DSO designers, whom I love, and to Paula (pkdoll) the sweet lady who gave me the previous award!

So, here you go: Andrea, Beth, Bunny, Darlene, Doodle, Jazzy, Kim, Joy, Lisa, Luisa, Lynn, Mel, Mindi, Nikki, Shannon, Sherrie, Tina & Paula. Ya'll have been awarded! MWAH!

And last but not least....I have a freebie for you guys!ly-mysecretgarden

I was playing with My Secret Garden kit and ended up making 2 borders.

And I thought you might like to have it. If that's the case, here they are:

Hope you like it!

Oh Livia, sorry about the chicken pox! But at least you're knocking it out by both the little ones getting it at once, and now you won't have to worry about it...

Hi Livia,

I'd say these awards are much deserved! I hope they were a bright spot instead of a bright SPOT, meaning the chicken pox. LOL, I know, bad humour.

I just stopped in to say hello!

warmly,
Barb
