"It's a Major Award"

"I got an award...it's a major award" I love that line from A Christmas Story, delivered by the ever so talented and dearly departed Darren McGavin. I too can say that line because my friend "Abbey" over at "Abbey's Road" gave me this award yesterday. I have never been such a recipient of ANY blogging award (I want a recount!) and have been so envious of all the other blogs that have received such. Ahh, shucks.. (stamping my foot) I am so delighted. It is "a major award!"



Sure, take your grammy, your oscar, your tony too....can you ever really say that you have been awarded for "Making the World a Better Place"? I do not know what I did to deserve such accolades, but I will accept it. I also gathered that I must pass it onto 5 others (and as much as i'd like I will not pass to those who have already knowingly been tagged). Thank you, Abbey. I am genuninely appreciative.


My "award" is going right over there, no -over there on the right and will remain for the world to see (smile). THX!


SO the winners of the "You make the World a Better Place" are


1.Jessica's Blog (Who else can more creative than Martha Stewart and yet be so sweet)


2.The Nesting Place (NO ONE, I say NOONE can mistreat curtains better than this "fluffer" NO window should be bare and ugly (like mine. I do not own one pair of curtains and I am getting really bold and gonna say, I think I can, I think I can all because of Nester (not to be confused with the long earred donkey of Christmas) I just want Nester to come to my house for a playdate and see what we can do, er, she can do.)


3.Jenny Hope (My daily dose of my personal Beth Moore, certinaly making the world a better place with her daily testimonies)


4.Welcome to our Lives (The Hickmans) (Cute, encouraging and also a master crafter-Like Kenny sings about, "shes got it all")


and finally #5 (Geez, I can think of at least 3 or 4 who are deserving, but I am trying to think ahead and know that the ones I pick will pick some others.....)


5. The Roaming Southerner (Well this was really a no brainer....she made me into Loretta Lynn for goodness sakes. A certain shoe in with flattery.)


Ok, I am cheating and picking a couple more than are deserving. Its not the ACT's!...


Miss Bossy Pants With your sattire and dry wit, leave me laughing.


Casa De Jules (B/C you can cook and decorate so great-that rhymes....-another Martha)


Big Mama (Making it hip to be vulnerable and expose hairdos through the years and making it acceptable without the process of therapy. Call it "Hairapy". Oh! Gosh! I have a name now for my post....)


If you were picked you should also pick some blogger you think is deserving of making the world a better place.

Yeah, thanks for the award it made my day!!!! Also, it is more praise than I get normally for my photoshop skills.

Love the title of the post...I totally would have used the same one. Why...."Cause it's a major award, and I won it!"

OH, Thank you so much! How I would love to have a playdate! For real! do you live close to me?

And You CAN make your windows beautiful--if you want to !

Big Mama said...

Thank you so much for the award.

If I can help others in the midst of hair tragedies, then I have made the world a better place.

You deserve it, galfriend! I can see by your posts that you truly make a difference for a LOT of people!!! Heck, put it on the mantle for a week, then inside the curio, then move to the window over the kitchen sink, put it on the back of the toilet for a spell, on top of the hutch .....

The Hickmans said...

Thank you, thank you very much. (Sorry, I had to after reading your Elvis post!) You are too kind- I am so excited!

Jess said...
