Better than an 'Oscar'

I've been all pink and glowing the past couple of days because I was given a much appreciated award.

Nancy at Knitting Paths of Life took time off from collecting more snowmen to add to her collection to award me with this Friendly Site Award. Thank you so much Nancy.

Anyone who visits Nancy gets a huge bonus........................visits to her fabulously talented, always friendly daughter, Heidi who lives in Holland, and her two very special Granddaughters, Mandie here in North Carolina whose husband has just been deployed to the Middle East - please keep him in your prayers, and Kristen in upstate New York, also a military wife. These four gals have a wonderfully close relationship and share decorating, crafting and sewing skills. They are a real inspiration and it's refreshing the way they support one another daily with laughs, giggles and family memories via their blogs. I really enjoy you gals.


It's difficult to pick someone to pass this along to - everyone has a friendly site and I love visiting all of you. I feel if one isn't a friendly person one wouldn't be blogging to begin with.

So, I will pick Pat at Back Porch Musings because she shares so much elegant beauty on her blog in a downhome, friendly way, and she's always ready to give technical help which I definitely need. Pat, I want to be on the list for the next Open House, will you, can you, squeeze in another person and make it three hundred and one invitations? Please!

  1. See, you just prove my point. You are the nicest person. You always say such nice things. What nice comments about my family. I do think they are just the most special people in the world. The girls lost their mom in teen years and now are wives and mothers. I do hope everyone remembers Jason in their prayers this year while he is deployed. Thank you Mary, you deserve the Freindly site award.

  3. Well, Mary I could ditto my mother but that is not original. I have been blessed from the moment I decided to go ahead and comment on your blog. I read it for weeks before I did as I felt in awe of you. Blogging can bless us in many ways. It gives us wonderful new contacts and even real friendships. For my family, I have been so glad they are now also blogging as it is a way to enhance our daily contact as we all live so far from each other. It pretty much all started as Kristy said my blogs were making it feel as though I was closer to her. She started one later and the ball rolled on from there. We are having fun doing them.

    I am very glad my mother passed this award on to you as I cannot think of anyone deserving it better! You are a warm and friendly soul and we all love our visits with you.

  6. I was drawn to your blog after Pat bestowed the Friendly Site Award to me, and I know I will be back. Such a lovely blog! Your photos are just captivating! Just tonight I took a photo of the sunset from our front porch, and now your lovely porch photos have inspired me blog about my front porch in the future! I hope it's OK that I am adding you to my favorite blogs!
