Won: The Kreatif and Sunshine Awards

Sunshine Award

Thanks Darlene!

You Are My Sunshine. My only sunshine.

You make me happy. When skies are grey.

You’ll never know, dear, How much I love you.

Please don’t take my sunshine away.

This is how Darlene Foster started out her blog for this award and I want to steal it. After all she was the one who gave it to me. I often sang this song to my boys when going to school to start the day off right. So imagine how happy I was to receive the Sunshine award from my blogging buddy Darlene Foster.   She has written two books taking place in Italy and is writing her third. She blogs about her travels and her own special view about the world. I hope you check her out. She blogs over at Darlene Foster’s blog.

Kreative Award

Thanks Diane!

Diane Stoy, an aspiring writer going strong on her novel gave me the Kreatif Award and I really must get to know her better. Among the things she said about herself was that on the way home from Australia and already on the plane she found out she was  on the wrong  plane to Japan.  Ooohhh so scary! She blogs over at the Patient Dreamer.

Of course, the Sunshine Award and the Kreatif Award have some rules:

  • Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog
  • Answer 10 questions about yourself
  • Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers

  • Share the love and link the person who nominated you.

      There are so many commenters with similar stories. We all seem to have fond memories of that song. I am sure your daughter remembers it fondly since she is making a tradition of it. How especially nice. 🙂

      Yep. Soon it’ll be off to soccer and baseball or track or football. Or band or all of them.
      Enjoy your Saturdays now, Stacy. It wasn’t so long ago that I would work on the weekend and take my boys around when I got off or did car pools. We also had five or more kids spend most weekends with us overnight when I was off. Kind of to reciprocate for when I worked and my kids were over there. That turned out long. whew!
      Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

  18. You have inspired me to think about songs in my life and blog about it next. I normally write for children – picture books and novels but I also blog about Life story writing so I shall write about song . I love classical music and learned early in life that my father sang to me.
    I also love gardening and now Spring has come early to our part of Southern Ontario so the garden is amass with daffodils and narcissi.
    GLAD I FOUND YOU.
