woot woot! i earned my first signs of recognition - feels so good to know that your written words are out there and being read...thanks nancy, the humorous writer of "if evolution really works..."(how come mothers only have two hands?)i have often questioned my daughters over the last couple of years why the octopus got 8 arms and moms, only 2 arms so when i came across nancy's blog, i was hooked from the beginning! nancy "showcased" me in her sunday morning reads back in august (http://ifevolutionworks.com/sunday-morning-reading/) and had these kind comments to say about me: In my next life I will come back with the time to be as creative as Jennifer. I’m hoping to find out that she lives close by and will redo the patio cushions for me!! She’s got a lovely blog and really wonderful, creative ideas. ok, so telling me i'm creative and that you'd like to "be creative like me " earns immediate frienship, right? she's been a fan during my first few posts and i so appreciate her comments and for being a reader!
thanks to heather, from theta mom, http://www.thetamom.com/ who awarded me the Honest Scrap Award. i found this a fun one toread and was honored to see my blog listed on a new reader's site!

The first of MANY to come, I am sure!!!
ReplyDeleteNow, when would you like my patio cushion dimensions? :)
Congratulations on winning the award!! That is wonderful!! I also always wanted to be a journalist. I went to college with a double major of English and Journalism, then ended up only graduating with the English part!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you have had to battle endometriosis as well. I had to have surgery in order to have my son and I am hoping that won't be the case with our next! We'll just have to wait and see!!
Congrats again!
