Valentines' Day Is Just Around the Corner!

I wanted to show you all the delightful Valentine garland my friend Frannie made, but I couldn't upload her pictures. I kept getting gobblygook! So, I did a little surfing and found another garland that is really cool and I think you will like it, too! You can find the complete instructions at Until Wednesday Calls. You will also find many more projects!



What special plans do you have for Valentines' Day? Are you making a special dinner? Red Velvet Cake? Be sure and share your ideas in the comments!

Remember, one more day to get in on the giveaway sponsored by Mountain Berry Gems! You can still join in the fun here.

You might want to also checkout Katie's post on Dishin'and Dishes. She has a very poignant post.

BTW - Both Katie and Georgie at Decisionally Challenged, along with myself have made the final nominations for the Okie Blog Awards. We are up against some stiff competition ~ especially Katie and I. (Maybe I should say, we are in great company!) Anyway, if you are an Oklahoma blogger and would like to cast your vote you have until Sunday, February 14th. You will find the instructions and the final ballot information here.

I am amazed at the number of talented bloggers here in Oklahoma! Many were nominated for an Okie Blog Award, but many were not. Still their talent and their love of blogging oozes out and we are all blessed. Spend a little time just checking out the diversity and spirit of Oklahoma Bloggers. Good luck to all the nominees!

Also, thank you, Jen, for all your hard work. You must have the patience of a saint

And thank you, Mike, for starting the whole thing!



In the meantime, think LOVE!

Blessings & hugs,
Cheryl

Friday Fragments

Friday Fragments

Today is the first Friday of 2010 and so far, I feel like much of 2010 is “fragmented”. How is your New Year going?

Friday Fragments is hosted by the lovely Mrs.4444 over at Half Past Kissing Time. I hope you will be sure and go by her corner of the web. There you will discover links to many more “fragmented” bloggers! Just so you know, if you are still having difficulty recovering from the holidays, you are not alone!

I still have three “must do’s” on my list before the New Year officially starts for me. It is part of who I am. I grew up during the 60’s; therefore, I do not enjoy doing things in any semblance of normality. (Although, I do now trust people over thirty, as long as they are well past thirty!) You guys go ahead and start the new year. I’ll catch up later.

I need to clean house. I do not want to clean house. I need to win a blog giveaway entitled, Maid Service for Six Months! WooHoo! If someone offers said giveaway I will comment on your blog everyday for the next 125 years! I’ll send birthday cards to your children and take you dog for long walks! I will love you forever. Be sure and let me know.

Georgie over at Decisionally Challenge has a cool giveaway going on for Dr. Perricone’s Cold Plasma, which is the “extreme” when it comes to anti-aging formulas. Hurry, you have until the 15th.

Speaking of Dr. Perricone, have you ever thought about going on his anti-aging diet? I have considered it, but not sure I could handle that much salmon.

It is time for the Okie Blog Awards nominations. Nominations opened January 1 and will close February 2. Be sure and click here and nominate your favorite Okie Bloggers!

The 2010 Bloggies are open for nominations until 10 pm EST January 12. You can vote once per email address. Get all the info here. Beware, the site scrolls sideways.

And that is all I know about Blog Awards!

If anyone is looking for the North Pole, it somehow slipped south. It feels like we are sitting in a deep freeze here in Oklahoma. Last night’s low was 11 degrees. It must be global warming!

My sister is leaving on a cruise Sunday. I love her. I hope she gets sunburned. (JK about the sunburn ~ maybe.)

Later today, I will be posting my book review on Simple Compassion. Next week, who will you show a little compassion?

Blessings,
Cheryl

BTW ~ I finally learned how to insert a link! Doing the happy dance!
