Meme, Awards and a Party Invitation for You!

I guess I have finally finished grieving the loss of my original post with the awards and meme which mysteriously disappeared into space, so I'm giving it another go!

(Be sure to read on for your party invitation!)

Firstly, loooong overdue thanks go to Freaky Frugalite, Feels Like Home and Reading Lounge for this really awesome award:


I truly am so flattered - it is GREAT encouragement to me - so thank you so VERY much!!

(Keep reading so you don't miss the invitation!)

I also got this award from The House that Koen & Claire Built and I am SO showing this one to my DH next time he gives me one of those I-think-you're-one-nugget-short-of-a-Happy-Meal looks:


Thank you SO much Koen and Claire, that is WAY COOL! :-)

Then I got this fun meme from Strawbale House -

6 Things You Don't Know About Me

1. I think fall is a good time to listen to Frank Sinatra music.

2. I have my own Webkinz account.

3. My favorite type of jeans that I have been wearing for the last 18-20 years are Levi's 550s Relaxed. These day's they've added "Classic" to the name, but thank God they keep making them.

4. I LOVE to watch I Love Lucy. I especially like the episodes where they've moved to Connecticut because I haven't seen those episodes as many times.

5. My hair color is "Loreal Excellence Medium Reddish Brown".

6. One time I was SO ANGRY I actually jumped up and down (like a cartoon character or a 3 year old child) because my brother ate a little piece of garlic bread I was saving. I've never lived that one down.

(Ok you made it - here's the invitation!)

And lastly, I have a party invitation for YOU! Tomorrow I am throwing a party, right here on my blog. But I'm not going to tell you what it's all about - you'll just have to come back to visit and see.

I baked a cake and everything!

The end.
