sometimes, you just have to toot your own horn. brag a little bit, have "your" day in the sun....without being too annoying. tonight i am. bragging that is... you see, this morning one of my crafts...the birdhouse gourds that i blogged about (a few posts back) appeared on The Crafty Crow website! this is and was pretty exciting to me-- since I just adore that site! have you been there? if not here's the link: The Crafty Crow!





also, thanks to my homeschool co-op friend, penny from diosa domestica blog for awarding my blog and me with this "friends award!"


and so the big political news of the day is... michelle obama did the unthinkable. she gave the queen of england a hug. it is just NOT something you do to the queen. i'm thinking by looking at queen elizabeth...she could use a few more. and then some. smile, wink, nod!
