Almost Wordless Wednesday - My Treasury Revisited

I'm pretty sore today, so I'll copy my blog post from my main blog, Little Studio Photography and Jewellery to this one. Sorry for the cop-out, I've been pretty sick and if one thing has to give, it is my secondary blog :(
I need lots of views, so please click on the image above to go to the site. When you're there, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of that page :)

Tuesday's Treasures - A Summery Treasury

I managed to snag another treasury! I added items from sellers who are a part of Etsy for Animals, CAST, EtsyOntario or Capital Crafters. Please click on the image above to go to the treasury. When you're there, make sure to comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to click on the items to go to the stores and see more of these fantastic sellers' work :)

Thankful Thursday: I've Received an Award!

Well! I was so very pleasantly surprised to get an email from the delightful Sonia at The Dark Ravens Nest saying that she had given me a blog award! I am so happy to have received this award. This is the "One Lovely Blog Award" and the rules are as follows:

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.
2. Pass award to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered.
3. Contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

As I am a fan of so many blogs that have already received this award, I am going to say that anyone who reads this blog is welcome to have it for themselves also.
Thank you Sonia!

Soulful Sunday: Happy Mother's Day!

Yes, I know, it looks a little odd. When everyone else is showing roses and countryside worthy of Da Vinci paintings for their Mother's Day posts, I show two little dandelions. Well, there's a story, and since you're still sitting here I'll tell you:
As a kid, my mom and I didn't have much money, and before my step dad finally came around (like, where had he been? lol), I didn't have anyone to take me places to 'get mom a present'. So I made her presents, painted her pictures and, of course, brought her dandelions. Lots of them! I made bouquets and they would be all over the apartment, and later, the house. When I got older I tried making chains and headbands out of them, but one eensy weensy bug in my hair quickly put an end to that! So a dandelion bouquet it would be, it is, and it forever shall be.
So here's to my mom, who did a pretty darn fine job (if I do say so myself!). Who taught me to ride a bike, swim, be kind to others, love to help people, and most importantly, love learning. I may not be perfect, but I would be nowhere near the person I am without your love, support, guidance and unconditional cheering-on.
I love you, you are wonderful, and I couldn't have chosen a better mom if I had tried.
I hope you love your dandelions :)
