Thanks Are Due

Overdue, actually.

Barbara deserves recognition for the beautiful scarf she sent me weeks ago. Isn't it a great color? And it's pashmina - so soft! She holds drawings for these often, so visit her through the link for your chance to win... but also to enjoy her special and serene corner of blogland. Thank you, Barbara!

I've been remiss in acknowledging some bloggy bling I've been given of late, too. Lynnette from Chatterbox Chit Chat gave me The Lemonade Stand award. (I know you've all seen it floating around, so I won't paste it here.) I so appreciate it! And I did see another award from someone recently - I thought it Lori? Argh, if I can't remember for sure (please correct me if I'm mistaken... ETA: Ack! It wasn't Lori. Was it someone else, or did I truly dream it?). Thank you! I was touched by your generous comments about SSW.

`

I can't get by without also thanking both Jody* and KS, who recently shared links to my post It's My Path. I'm so thrilled you thought its content worthy of sharing - and I appreciate the faces who popped in for a peep because of it, too.

`

I also want to say thanks to my constant supporters and welcome to my new followers! You all make my day, every day.

`

Have a great weekend, and a safe and blessed Memorial Day!

*(Jody recently signed with an agent! Send her some congrats, wouldja?)

You Could Be Stylin'

One of my bloggy friends, Barbara, has fallen into the (wonderful) habit of giving away pashmina scarves. If you'd like a chance to win one, all you need do is visit her site and leave a comment, on any post - which will enter your name into the drawing. And if pashmina doesn't coordinate with your wallet chain, well, then enter for the sake of a special lady.

Aside from chancing a win for one of Barbara's giveaways, I love visiting her place (The Serenity Gate), just for the sake of a visit. It's warm and cozy, and she reminds me of a favorite aunt. (Shout out to Aunt Bernia!)

Thanks for creating such a nice place, Barbara.
