I won an award

I Won an Award



Thanks to Cathryn of blueladie designsI have won the Liebster Blog award.



There are conditions attached to this award, so here is the text I copied from Sue's blog.

Liebster is a German word meaning favourite, dearest or beloved.
The Liebster Blog Award is awarded by bloggers to other new bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers, to help spread the word about their blogs and to help them gain wider recognition.
The Liebster award comes with four conditions that each recipient must satisfy when accepting:

1. Choose 5 up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers to award the Liebster to.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blog so they know about the award.
4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.

Blogs I have chosen, this was so hard as I visit so many everyday. I love looking at everyone's beautiful stitching.

WELCOME SPRING

It's finally here the 1st day of spring & here in the south it is a beauitful day. already in the 70's supposed to be in the 80's today. I am slowly very slowly getting my energy back, i still get weak quickly. but it is getting better.
the sterri strips are now off & the incision is healing very nicely, still a little raw right in the middle but now more strips yeah!!!!!!!!

i am still working on the grandbabys blanket. Dez(my daughter-in-law) had to go to the hosptial Sunday evening, the dr said her placenta is over the top of her cervis. so she is on bed rest now but both her & the baby are doing well,he has a very strong heart rate & this dr also noted how big a baby he is so far. She is 23 weeks along.

DC(my son) did not go into the army this past week. he is trying to find a job he locally. so pray he finds one soon. He has put the stroller toghether, he & his dad are going to put the crib toghter sometime soon. we are really looking forward to the baby getting here can u tell.

David & I went shopping yesterday, we bought the kids (DC &Dez) a new mattress & box springs. then went to Kmart & bought me 2 new pairs of flip flops, a new dress, a tank top,a sweater tank , a new hat. david got a pair of shorts & shrit. & we also bought the baby a outfit. a new rose bush- this one was named black magic.can't wait for this one to bloom to see what color we have.

got to take Kathy to the dr today for treatment & shots. she is doing so much better. I am so glad of that. She is gettting stronger & her hip is healing. she is still back & forth on having hip surgery, but that is up to her. She just doesn't want the cancer to spread if she has the surgery. whcuh i understnad totally.

have a great 1st day of spring !!!!!!! get outside & smell the flowers
