Hello!
Just wanted to pop back and show you what I received yesterday from two special blog friends! Leonie (gi-gi) & Jenny are such sweet hunny bunnies to pass on this award to me! I was very thrilled to receive it! 
So … with this award … comes a little responsibility! I need to pass it onto 10 “Beautiful Blog” friends … and I need to tell you 10 things about myself! I haven’t done this award “thingy” for a little while … but I thought I would try and pass this award onto some different friends this time! I haven’t listed these in any particular order … but here are some “Beautiful Blogs” created by some “Beautiful Friends for you to check out! I’m sure you will LOVE what you see! I have also included a couple of US blogs … so you can have a looky at some of the gorgeous SU! “stuff” that is around … and hopefully we will get soon!!! (fingers crossed!) 
I also had a couple more blog friends to give this to … but as they had only recently received it … I thought, instead, I would share it around!
- Nicole Derendorf
- Lee-Anne Barry
- Sonia Garbutt
- Kay Kalthoff
- Leonie Newman
- Lynda Shrimpton
- Fiona Harrison
- Tiffany Miller
- Michelle Yungbauer
- Selene Kempton
And now … hhhhmmmm … 10 things about myself!
Did you know ……….
I have the BEST hubby in the world … and before you try to argue with me … I’m sorry … but you will have to settle for 2nd best. OK!!!- I have 5 wonderful kiddley-winks … aged 24 down to 12 … I KNOW!
I don’t look old enough!!! Oh … + 1 “hot” son-in-law! (That’s his word … not mine!) - I have a twin sister … born 1/2 hour before me … so that means I suffer from “middle child syndrome”!
- My most precious possession is … God’s gift of salvation to ME!
- My dearest desire … that all my closest and most special friends and family would have this gift too!
- My hubby has taken me away … every year (except 1) for our anniversary! 2003 – we had just had a family trip to US … so we couldn’t stretch for another weekend away! We have been married for nearly 27 years.
- I would love to be thin!
- I am NOT FOND of my middle name! … NOPE! NOT TELLING!!! Starts with “C” … can you guess??? …
- I love diamonds!!!
- I have always wanted to learn to surf … but know that it is beyond the realms of possiblity at my age and size!!!!
So … I really had better get back to that newsletter … now that I have procrastinated far too long! Enjoy the blog award, my friends! PLEASE remember to scroll down for today’s CARD post!
For a price I could spill the beans on Andrea’s middle name!! Any takers?! LOL
Andrea adds: SSSSSsssshhhhh! I forgot you would be reading this!
ooooo Chris do tell
I have some excess Sale A Bration sets ……
Andrea adds: Ooooh! FREE rubbah!!! How is she going to resist!??? I have complete confidence in her … I think!!!
Put me in for a fiver Chrissie….LOL!!!! perhaps we can start a pool up…hee hee hee. best behave or otherwise Andrea may take the award back.LOL!!! I think I may have a pretty fair idea…but i am also good at keeping a secret. Seriously tho…does anyone REALLY ever love their middle name?? Mine is Louise….so Lyndy-Lou was a fave for the relos (PS to this day STILL despise it!!) Thanks agin for passin it onto me. Honoured and appreciated. ooxx
And … I realised after I posted that comment about hating my middle name … that there will be someone in blog land that owns that name and may be very attached to it!!! So … perhaps I need to be a little more sensitive about someone else owning that name!!!??? 
Oh … that is so politically correct … isn’t it! We all have different opinions when it comes to names … otherwise we would all call our kids the same name!!! How boring would that be!!! xxx
Andrea adds: Giggle … My other sister’s name is Louise!!!
Hello my lovely … you never cease to amaze me with all that you do and keeping your family sane (or is that just an illusion?) I love checking your blog and now my time is limited I dont always get a chance to comment all the time. luv you girl and see you in 18 days! mwah
Actually … I have great kids … who aren’t that hard to love!!! I definitely can’t complain! Looking forward to seeing you, too! 
mwah right back atcha! 
Andrea adds: Definitely an illusion!!!
Thank you so much Andrea, for the shout out! I am tickled pink!!
Kay
Andrea adds: Just my way of saying thank you for the inspiration that you share … and that I enjoy! Glad it made you smile! xxx
Oooooh! Thank you for saying that my blog is beautiful…. I will hopefully put the final instalment of the osw up today.
Cheers
Sonia
Andrea adds: LOL! You’re welcome hunny! Looking forward to doing some blurfing tonight … I am so behind with visiting my regular blogs!!!
Thank you Andrea, that is so sweet. Can’t wait til I’m on hols (11 days!) so I will have some time to blog!
Cheers,
Fi x
Andrea adds: Glad you liked it! I am looking forward to seeing your creations! Yay for hols … should be more of them! xxx
hmmm tempted by the free rubber… but once Andrea said she had confidence in me – how could I let her down… it’s really not that bad a name – it could be worse… however I am quite attached to mine… even if it is one of the most common middle names in the world!! Starts with A.. 3 letters!
And … I don’t want to upset anyone who might like their name (and it is the same as my 2nd name!) So … let’s consider the matter closed!!! 
Andrea adds: I knew I could count on you sis!!!
By the way. The vanity of your son-in-law (my son) does not come from me!!!!!
Andrea adds: LOL!!!! Of course not!!!!!
Hi Andrea!!! Thanks so very much for including me in this wonderful blog award… so very HONORED!!!
You are a wonderful person that warms many hearts with your talent and kind words… YOU ROCK! 
Andrea adds: You are very welcome Michelle! And … I know you don’t have a lot of time for blogging since starting back at work … but I have you on “subscribe” so I don’t miss anything when you happen to post! Hugs xxAxx
