Kathy at Empty Nester ( mbkatc230-emptynester.blogspot.com/ ) has given me this very special award. It means a lot because of its significance.
“Blogs who receive this award are ‘exceedingly charming’ say its authors.This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness 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 when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!”
Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”
I am soon to meet a very special lady whom I met in Blogland, Melissa @ Melissa’s Heart and Home – whom I found out lives right here in my own town, and I can’t wait. So, if creating this blog allows me to meet and make just one single new friend – wasn’t it all worth it?
Also, I find myself thinking of blogland friends throughout the day….”I wonder if Debbie is off shopping for plates?”….”I wonder what great story Gollum is planning?” I even “shop” for blogland friends. “Oh, this would look really cool in KD’s foyer!” 🙂 So to all my blogland friends, I accept this award in your honor..and gladly pass it along to:
KD @ Southern Whimsey
Lynne @ Lynne’s Gifts from the Heart
Gollum @ Design’s by Gollum
Debbie @ Confessions of a Plate Addict
Melissa @ Melissa’s Heart and Home
Mishelle @ The Crowned Casa
Cindy @ Romantic Home
Cathleen @ Designs by Cathleen
And finally, I know this is supposed to go to a blog – but I have to convey this award to my friend, Kathysue – who is such a wonderful inspiration and friend to me. She doesn’t have a blog yet (yet! hint, hint) – but if ever there were someone deserving, it is her. So this one’s for you, my friend. So thanks again Kathy! And please make sure you visit all the great blogs mentioned above, as well as , Kathy @ The Empty Nester.
Happy Blogging…Barb

Congrats on the award, Barb! You certainly deserve it! And thanks for giving it to me! I appreciate it, especially since it’s so special! I actually received it from Kathy and Ann also so I’d better get my show on the road, huh? I will post my names after Tablescape Tuesday. Yes. I’m taking the plates off the wall! Have a good week!…Debbie

KD – just post who gave you the award, post the award itself, and post the “rules” which is the section in italics. Then, name as many poeple as you want – even if its not 8. Then, go by and leave them a little note. I had not gotten around to it yet. PM me at HGTV if you need to. 🙂

Congrats Barb, I recieved that honor much to my surprise today too.
View CommentEnjoying your blog. Many thanks to your servicepersons and God Bless them and bring them home soon! We also have a good friend serving in Iraq right now for his second tour.
And I am glad to read in a post I think you made at The Crowned Casa that you got those lovely black and white damask dishes at Marshalls! Those are so tempting me, they are so pretty! But I just got some black and cream transferware ones there and so I need to be good, tee hee.
Enjoy yours!
Linda
