You Rock Award and a Give-Away!

Last week at this time I was walking along the shores of Lake Erie collecting rocks.  I didn't know for sure what I'd do with them, but they were too tempting to leave there.  Most of them fit neatly in my pocket. All had been warmed by the sun and I hope that the memories they provide will warm my heart.  When I got home I realized I had not bought a souvenir for my son.  I took one of the rocks and wrote "you" on the bottom (Don't ask how I knew it was the bottom!) and handed it to him.  It is true....He rocks!

Someone else out there rocks, too!  Her name is Renonda and she blogs at Snickety Things!  She makes gorgeous cakes, reviews books, crochets and shares patterns among other delightful things.  She has become my friend and the first recipient of my "You Rock" award!  She has stayed up late at night with me and guided me through bloggy issues!! She even made me a crocheted owl because she knows how I feel about owls!   She has helped me in so many ways with her kind comments and encouragement.  She will get this award in the mail any day now!  Thanks for being you, Renonda. May you display this proudly....

Renonda, please be sure to let me know which book you want!
You get a book, too!!


Now that I have 50 followers, I feel obligated to have a give away.  I'm so thankful for everyone who has taken the time to read my ramblings!  Here is one more for you to read:



What am I giving away?  Three surprise packages with a book from the Book Fair!  Other goodies will be included in the packages.  I just ask that you follow me and leave a comment below letting me know which of the books you would like.   You all rock!!

Which book would YOU like?




 


 I only have thirteen days left with my sweeties!  I'm going to make every day packed with learning!!
