Santa's Little Helper

When I got home from a long day today there was the most adorable little box sitting on my counter. I looked at who it was from and wouldn't you know, my long lost twin(not really, but we like to pretend) had sent little ole me a package. I new it had to be something great, so I grabbed the scissors and opened the box. Inside was the cutest rootin tootin cowboy I had ever seen.

Sorry for the cruddy picture. I had to use my flash and it works too well and makes everything look like lightening is in the room. Then I turn it off and everything looks fuzzy and dark.
Something about a man in a hat that gives out presents. What more could a girl want! Yeehaw! So a great big thank-you to my blog buddy Amy for this thoughtful little treasure that will adorn my tree for years to come. I love blog land for such great friends!

And the Winner Is....

My very good bloggy friend Amy from Keepin the Sunny Side was so nice and gave me this cute award.
I was giddy with excitement when my mom called me and said I had gotten an award. Wow! Little old me! Thanks again Amy, you made my week!
I am finally getting a moment to pass this award along to some great gals. The first person I want to send this to my Mom over at Shady Creek Lane. My Mom always inspires me to get crafty, plus she is a good sport at babysitting my kids for me, so I am trying to score some brownie points. Ssshhhh, don't tell her I said that!
The next person I want to send this award to is my very longtime friend and the person who got me started bloggng, Megan at Meg's Cooking Corner. You will be swept away on a recipe card magic carpet to a land of yummy recipes and tempting treats. Check it out! She graciously put up with all my "How do I do that, again?" questions when I started out.
My third person I am sending this to Whitney over at
The Keith's. She is such a cute fun gal and she keeps my eyebrows from being too scary, plus it was her birthday the other too. Happy Birthday Whitney!
