Arrghhhs.....and Thank you's

Yesterday Karisma thought she would kill a few birds with one stone (not literally!). She had several errands to run, several parcels to post and thought she would do them all at once in the one trip, as you do! So off she went, with all her junk and parcels feeling really happy with herself when she gets to the post office and realizes that she has left someones address at home....ARgggghhhh! (Sorry Karmyn, its on its way today, definitely pronto!)

Anyway, being a big believer that everything happens for a reason, I realized it was really just a gentle reminder to me not to be so lazy! You see, one of the objects of said parcel is a baby cardigan that I knitted for Karmyns baby, the said cardigan had given me a bit of trouble regarding the button hole. (I somehow sewed it up and then it would not come back out right) Now as time got ahead of me this week, I did not get time to fix it and was going to send it as is! So you see, I take this as a message to myself, to get off my lazy butt and fix it first! Head hung in shame, I did just that, I relented and sewed on a hook and eye with a little teddy bear button on the front for decoration! Feeling much better with myself the parcel is all sealed, addressed and ready to go back to the post office!

Now the trip was not entirely wasted! I did mange to finish my other errands and I came across some interesting artifacts, which really made me laugh! Im not going to tell you what they are right now! But I did buy some for Karmyn and an extra lot as well! I thought I might just run a little competition, since I have not had one in a while! You'll just have to come back tomorrow to see what it will be!

For today I would like to thank Alison for passing on this award to me............


and I would like to pass it on to......................

Karmyn
Swampy
Sayre
Nekked Lizard Lady
Molly

and Melissa (who is not taking visitors at the moment)

I would also like to thank the Nekked Lizard peoples for sending me a prize from their vault. It was very sweet! I have as yet not taken a picture as I still have not charged my camera battery! I can tell that it was a little lizard the same as this one that Alison received. (Click here to see Alisons picture) My poor little guy had a bit of a rough trip and is currently recuperating with some PVC! He is very glad to have survived the trip and is looking forward to taking up residence on the fridge!

Anyhow, I must away now and feed a certain child before he starts gnawing at my leg! Have a great day everyone! Toodles!

**Swampy blushes**, then says, "Members of the Academy, Women of the World Wide Web, and Lurkers...I would like to thank Karisma for this wonderful award."
**Swampy stumbles and falls off stage**

Don't you hate trips to the post office. :) A baby cardigan - you are so sweet. :)

Congrats on the award!

Congrats on your award! Yep, everything happens for a reason, even if we don't understand at the time.
Thanks for asking about my mom. She is doing a lot better. I still have to drive her around (not because I wrecked her car, but that has a lot to do with it) and clean her house. She has to find her new normal, which includes oxygen and limited exercise.
Sorry that it takes longer to load with my music, but it helps soothes me. If I get to many complaints thou, I'll take it off. I have had 3 so far, so I might just do that, but am gonna wait another day or 2 and see how it works.
Thank you for your honesty, I really like that in some one! It means they are real and have great character.

Teddy Bear button - I can't wait to see it!!!!

I had to rush to the post office yesterday too - forgot about a tax-day swap I was participating in. Shame on me.

Thanks for the award. I'll put it up on my sidebar!

The baby cardy sounds so cute - I like the idea of the teddy button!
