Catch-Up

So how embarrassed was I to bump into a friend of mine yesterday at my daughter's dance class and learn that her new baby boy is already FOUR weeks old?! Have I taken her family a meal? No. Have I offered her the overflow from the sunshine basket our MOMS Club provided me almost a whole year ago? No. Have I sent a card? No. Shame on me. This one's for Mary and Thomas (waving hi to Mary)!

Enabler alert: Verve Visual has the new 6x6 Basic Grey paper packs in stock. I was so happy to see them in the store yesterday that I bought a fewza. That's my new word, by the way. Kind of like "wowza" means a little more than just a plain "wow."

Last, I've been awarded a few (fewza?) times in the last couple of weeks, and I've not been the best at keeping up with it. Thank you Kim at Inkey Pingers, Chat at Me, My Stamps & I, Sarah at My Scrapbook Table, and Savitri at Scrapin' and Stampin' with Savitri, who have each nominated me for the Arte Y Pico award, which is for creativity, design, interesting material, and contribution to the blogging community.

And thank you Cheryl, aka mochamama, at God and I on the Railroad Tracks, who has given me the "You Make My Day" award, which is for bringing happiness and inspiration to blogland.

I'm honored. Very much so. Please forgive me, though, if I opt out of the passing on part this time. Know that you all make my day over and over again! And there's so much talent out there I can't pick just five, kwim?
