Blog Award

Who says Facebook is a waste of time? I mean, heck, a lampworker I met there, Lea Avroch, sent me a Blog Award. Thank you, Lea!

I'm a total sucker for awards, and this is a pretty neat-looking one. It's all French and looks like a Mattel My Scene doll that a little brother got hold of with the scissors:



Part of my award's acceptance speech is to list 5 things I love. Okay, here goes:

-clean sheets

-handwritten letters

-kids too big for my lap asking to sit on my lap

-the thrill when a new design comes together

-Joe

The next part of this blog award is kind of like a chain letter, I guess, because I'm supposed to list 10 of my favorite blogs and then send this award to all of them, too. But I'm not so good at following the rules, so I'll just list these 17 blogs I like...you might like them, too!
