Please visit her blog for more information and plan to be among the first to participate!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also...my friend Linda, whom you will remember as my antiquing buddy at the Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta, Georgia, now has her own blog...Nina's Nest!!

I would also like to offer them the Proximidade Award as well if they would like to take it. It follows below:
My friend CC Catherine at Catherine de thé Cups has honored me with the Proximadade Award. If you have not visited her blog, please drop by to see her delightful collection of tea cups and to get some wonderful ideas and instructions for hosting a tea party of your own!
This award translated from Portuguese means, "This blog contributes to and supports or believes in close friendships." "This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."
So if the aforementioned bloggers would like to collect this award as well, please accept it in the spirit of friendship from the bottom of my heart! I am really enjoying getting to know all of you!
CONGRATS to you and all the other wonderful bloggers :) Such a great community we wander about in, is it not?
ReplyDeleteAnd the new "SHARE THE JOY" What's on your wall, sounds interesting...I have to go see more about that...
mmm I'm thinking, just a guess, mind you, but Ms Debbie, do you have PLATES, on your wall? LOL :)
Debbie, I like the "off the wall" idea! I'll go right over to see about that, because my walls are so full, I think I could do a post a week for a long time about what's on my walls! Congratulations on the awards. laurie
ReplyDeleteHello Debbie. Thank you very much for the awards. Not one but two a wards.Wow. I am very honoured and will proudly accept them. I will still need to figure out to put them in my blog but of course I will do that. And of course I have to congratulate you on your awards.

Bonjour,Debbie, Thanks for stopping by, I am going to check out all of your friends, they sound very interesting. Also I like the music on your blog. Congratulations on your awards. TTFN
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks for visiting this evening. You're right, Switzerland this time of year doesn't look like fun to me. :-) I can hardly wait to see your walls next Wednesday and all of your beautiful plates. I hope you're having an enjoyable evening. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteHi my Friend! Its been a long day. Sorry I am just not getting around to visiting and telling you THANK YOU, THANK YOU for spreading thw word about "What's On Your Wall Wednesday." I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. YooHoo! BIG congrats on the awards. I can't think of anyone more deserving! Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteI wonder if President Obama needs an ambassador. If he does, you certainly would be the right one for the position. Wonder if he even knows what a blog is. I nominate you the first official Ambassodor of Blogland.
ReplyDeleteI have passed on a very sweet award to you! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I was thinking about you when I was at market. You should have seen all the plates!It was unreal! I was definitly overstimulated....we didn't order anything, but just looking at so much was overwhelming! I will be visiting Barb. What a great event! Kristen
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and the other bloggers on your awards!
I can't wait for Wed. now. What a great idea, I'll definitely be participating. Off to see what it is all about and see her blog....
From one plate addict to another, have a great day.
~Michelle
Hi Glenda! You are so nice to nominate me as Ambassador of Blogland! I will accept the position only if it comes with an economic stimulus package so we can have a huge Blogland conventiion in the middle of the country...maybe Missouri...in the Spring and get to meet each other....airfare and hotels prepaid!!! lol Do you think President Obama will go for that?? It would certainly stimulate the economy in Missouri!! Have a great day! Hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, Beautiful walls....a nice idea!
ReplyDeleteI may get some new inspirations!!
Thanks for the nice comments on the recipes. You think College Inn would hire me? Hey you never know! You are too funny!!
Thank you for stopping over this morning; my daughter's mothernlaw to be sent this to her and she sent it to me. She told me that this reminded her of me. I have been in such a funk over my mother and I am having a hard tim dealing with it. No matter how long I work at work or at home or blogging or wedding consultations she I am running a memory film of her in my mind constantly. I just got back from seeing her and it really drags me down.
ReplyDeletethank you again.
Blossom
Well Debbie,you are being bomb-barded today.I have an award for you too.Please come pick it up...Ann
ReplyDeleteDebbie, great going with the awards! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up about next Wednesday. Remind us again because this sounds like fun!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Touché, my friend. Maybe if you changed the location to Illinois, we might stand a chance to receive some of the, reported soon to be available, stimulus funds. In any event, you still have my support as you take your position as Ambassador.
ReplyDeleteGlenda...Ohhh, I do believe you are right!...Illinois it is, then!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI vote for you to Ambassador of blogland too. I think a blogger convention in Illinois or Missouri would be fine by me, heck I can even drive there. Thanks for your nice comments. I am always thinking about table settings now, maybe Susan gave us this little affliction. Have a nice evening, Cindy
I _just_ saw your comment about these awards!!! I'm still very new at this and don't know quite what I am doing!!!!! Thank you so very much! I am so honored!!!!!
