Award Winning!

I am honored and pleased to have been the recipient of 2 blog awards in the last couple of weeks.
I apologize for my delay in accepting them! This first one came to me from Claudia at Cloud 9 Creations. She works magic with buttons- you must take a peek. This award makes me feel so ooh la la! The story behind the award, taken directly from Claudia's blog, is as follows: The authors say that blogs who receive this award are exceedingly charming. This blog invests in the PROXIMITY in space, time and relationships. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that even more friendships are propagated.

What an honor! Thank you, Claudia!

This second "sweet" award came to sosorosey via Michele at Sweet Irie. I met Michele through Etsy when she contacted me to see if I would like to do a trade. As soon as I feasted my eyes on her shop, my answer to that query was a resounding "YES!" I have my keys on one of her fabulous key fobs, and it never fails to make me smile. A more beautiful blog you will never see, either. Please do visit her shop and blog today!

Unbelievable!

What started out as an otherwise not very good day in the Thoma house got substantially better toward late afternoon. Incredibly, I found myself on the front page of Etsy again. Twice in one week!! This time I have lobello.etsy.com to thank for the honor. I also have several very good friends to thank for their congrats convos which alerted me in the first place. Super big hugs to Ally at iheartthatdance.etsy.com, Sarah at GenuineArticle.etsy.com, Michele at sweetirie.etsy.com, and Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com for the kind messages! It would be no fun at all to be on the front page and have no one to share it with :)
