A BIG Thank You and Other Stuff

I won this beautiful scarf, gloves and hat from Donna at Made in Heaven a couple of weeks ago and with all of the busy stuff of the holidays I didn't get a chance to thank her for this lovely gift. Thanks Donna, it'll get some good use as soon as my sister and I start walking again. If you have never been to Donna's blog just follow my link, you will be glad you did. She is one of the nicest people in blogland. Thanks Donna, I might even need to use this in my house today because we woke up to no heat in the house. It's cold in here!!

I also got this award from one of my new blogging friends. Her name is Wibeche and she's from Norway! She had been leaving me sweet comments and I could never find a blog to go and visit her. Well, she finally has not just one blog but two. A jewelry blog and a personal blog. She makes beautiful jewelry and her three little girls are so pretty. I am glad to call her a new bloggy friend. Thanks Wibeche and I look forward to getting to know you this year. Go visit her here and welcome her to the blogging world! I am passing this award on to all of my bloggy friends!


And my good buddy from Tennessee is having a 1-year of blogging giveaway. Go here and check out her great giveaways! I love this photo of you and your doll, Donna. If you have never visited Donna before then go over right now and check out what she and her friend Marty are up to. Who's Marty? Well, go over to her blog and find out!

And this has nothing at all to do with anything in this post but I am very excited about it. My monitor died a horrible death awhile back and I have been using the world's oldest monitor. Well, my son(who knows much more about computers than I) helped me pick out a new one. WooHoo, I am so excited to get one that will not take up half my desk. Maybe it will even motivate me to clean off my desk. Nah.............
And what is this little beauty? LOL Well, it seems that my laptop is ready to crash because I have overloaded it with photos of our grandbabies. Hey, I can't help it if I think every single one of my grandbabies photos are worthy to keep. LOL I really do have alot of photos and for some reason I like to upload them to my laptop computer instead of my desktop computer. I'm not sure why and I know I can burn them on a cd but I like to go back and look at them alot. So my son has picked out a external hard drive for my laptop. Double WooHoo!! Now Grandma can upload photos till she's 101 years old. LOL You would have thought I was getting diamonds from Tiffany's with how excited I am about these two items.

Anyway, have a great weekend. We are going out to eat tonight at Buca Di Beppo with my sweetie's family. That means way too much food and lots of noise but fun! Don't forget about Brenda's Photo Challenge on January 7th(it's a Weds. not a Saturday this time) and the theme is "anything new." There's still lots of time to sign up for the challenge so go here and play along with all of us! I thought I had lots of time for this and it has crept up on me again and I have no photos yet. LOL I better get out there and start shooting some photos. Come on, Miss Maddie(my grandaughter), let's get your new Fisher Price camera and start taking some photos. LOL I better go, this post is way too long already! Happy Saturday!
