Passing on the Kindness

Many, many days ago, two very nice people put these 

nice pictures on their blog and listed me among some 

other, very cool blogs. What a lovely surprise, one, and 

two, what a lovely surprise first thing in the morning 

when, rudely awakened by needy child, I flip open the 

laptop in the nursery and see these. I'm almost certain 

the two nice people have probably forgotten about 

the awards they sent my way, so long have I sat on 

them. But I haven't - and here I am at last to pay tribute!

Thank you, MaryAnne, for this award!

I 'm going to be naughty and not pick 15 blogs to pass 

this on to. Instead I am going to pick 3 of MaryAnne's 

posts to tell everyone about. They aren't all about 

crafting, which she does incredibly well, but about 

other important things that are close to my heart 

and about which she wrote so compellingly:

1  Beginning to sew.

2 Creativity.

3 Being Thankful.

Thank you also, MaryAnne for opening so many doors 

to other fascinating and clever people, whose creativity 

and general zaniness have been so inspiring.

This next one came from The Adventures of Bear, which 

is full of wonderful things to do with small kids, whom 

I seem to have lots of (small kids, that is). 

Thank you, Girl Who Painted Trees!

 

The naughtiness continues - 

here are 3 of my favorite Bear posts: 

1 This wonderful alphabet Alphabet book which I want to 

make soon for my youngest.

2 Lovely color collages with fun ideas on how to use them. 

I love the color names in other languages. 

3 100 books to read, and a sensible, balanced view on 

reading to kids. I don't recognize a lot of those books 

and I want to check them out!
