My Lucky Day

Andrea, over at BGD, just awarded me some art supplies! YAY. She has more giveaways, too, if you want to participate! WAHOO!

Andrea is a gifted artist, photographer, and music aficionado. Be sure to check out her blogs.

She says: Check Mary out, she is a blogger champ! Hmmm, and here I was thinking about cutting back. AK!

I got an award!

I went over to Coffeypot's Blog, where I always get a couple of laughs and sometimes some sweetness which cheers me up to keep working, and I got a big surprise! I got a blogger buddy award. He said he liked my painting and drawing! YAY! Thanks Coffeypot. Now I am supposed to award it to 7 other people. There are so many sweet, kind, talented and wonderful people out there. It's a shame to limit it to seven!

OK, here goes:

1 & 2: Nadine and Berrybird, for unflagging support of my blog and
interesting posts on theirs.

3: jo(e): one of the best bloggers ever. I love her thoughtful posts.

4. JoAnn in the Netherlands for her interesting photographs.

5. hpy for great sense of humor and wonderful photos!

6. Blue Rose for cool art and photos and thoughtful words.

7a. Marie in France for her thoughtful work and nice photos

7b. Nicole (That's still 7, right?)

7c. Andrea, for her cool hand-drawn art and photography. (And her prize, LOL!) (That's still 7 right?).

I don't feel like I deserve an award because I'm not that good a blogger and worse yet, I'm about to get worse I think. And I am going to have to add the rest of the links later--I am out of time right now.

OK, my last U for now--U is for Undersea Bubbles. LOL!

Piano Boys' Recital duet

Last night was Piano Boy's Christmas Piano Recital. In the first picture, he's rehearsing with J while Mrs. L looks on and advises. The second is the actual recital. It went very well--Phew, because it wasn't good at the rehearsal! But they shone last night, and Piano Boy did a great solo, too! Piano boy is the one in the back, J in the front.

making gifts

I'm trying to make some gifts, but it is slow work. This is a tiny
card. The smudge is not on the card, but on the scanner--I checked.
