Autumn's Gifts!

I hope Autumn is bringing you all much joy and happiness! So far she
has been very kind to me, ushering in not only her glorious colors and
crisp air, but a few goodies from the land of all things "BLOG"!

I am the proud winner of these two fabulous goodies! Mr. Maynard the
Mouse and the Dreams bucket below. Linda of Old Farmhouse
Gathering had this giveaway and I am so happy to be the new
owner of these two special handcrafted items. Thank you Linda!

I was also given two awards recently. The first comes from Charity at
Thoughts...by Charity Joy Bell. She has a wonderful blog where she
shares her deepest thoughts and beautiful writings.
Thank you Charity!

I'm going to pass this award along to blog I get excited to visit every time
there is a new post, Fairy Footprints in the Sand, by Heidi. Heidi's
blog is always full of magic and whimsy and I adore it! Therefore this
award is PERFECT for her!

My second treat comes from Mama H at The Hohman Homestead. Mama
H is a truth telling, no holds barred cowgirl that pulls no punches, sharing
her life as a newlywed, with lots of animals thrown into the mix!

since so much work is involved I'll leave it open to anyone that wants to
play along. You ALL deserve this award anyway because you and your
blogs are all over the top SPLENDID!

AWARD ALERT! This Just in, I got ANOTHER award! This one comes to
me via Teresa at Marigold Manor. She gives us a good morning EVERY
morning on her super blog. Thank you Teresa! Now I know I'm
supposed to pass this along to 10 people, but to narrow it down to 10 is
TOO hard! So please everyone take it because I love you all! Besides,
that whole survey award typing thing wore me out! Please help yourselves
you beautiful ladies! Thanks again Teresa!

So far the weather here has been beautiful, but the rains are
moving in and I think it's time to hunker down with a good book
and a warm drink!

Farewell sunshine, we'll see you next June!
