(feeling stressed?...actually, this one was drawn for a customer's co-worker 's going-away gift....)

...I have to say that I am glad that the message that I kept getting the other day that said:

"We're sorry...but your computer or network may be sending automated queries... To protect our users, we can't process." ...was NOT due to ME! I thought *oh, oh, I have been on the google/blogspot... way too long!* So, it was a relief to get the MckLinky update about what was up & that it's cleared up with google. (Even though, I don't comment on every post I read, I do like to read the posts that come up on my dashboard of blogs I follow.)

*NOTE: lettering is level on drawings, I just get this curve when I take it too close w my camera.*

With that said and although I know that it wasnt me that caused Google to block me from opening up the blogs, I have decided to not comment as much as I may have previously. But I still plan on reading y'all's great posts!

MyNetFinds, I love the award that you designed! Who wouldn't want to be a "GEM"? What a fun & gorgeous gem to "wear" around.

This is what Kathie says about this award that she created:
"Just as a diamond is a girl's best friend, you are a blogger's best friend!"

&

"I made this award for the special bloggers who take the time to not only read my posts, but also leave comments, respond to comments, form blog friendships with and support others, answer blogger questions, etc...the ones who are a real "gem" in the bloggy world. The bloggy world wouldn't be the same without you!"

I pass this on to...

Some of you don't post Awards and if you don't want to add them to your blog, no problemo... I just wanted to pass these on to say I really enjoy your blogs and if you want to pass one on to someone else, please do. (I know how fun it was to get my first award from Molly ...and they are still fun to get).

...I have just completed my blog button... yes, it took me the weekend to figure out how to do the placement of my image and wording onto Photoshop. ...with the help of my hubby & google searching (Felicia's how-to add the scroll for the button url address was easy to follow).

*this button was drawn with PersonalizedSketches*

So those of you that are here...PLEASE, feel free to pick up my button and carry it home with ya. :o) Of course, no pressure! haha

Part of the time that I was working...um, attempting...to get my button blog-ready...this is what my sweetie-pie was doing. (He just got finished washing the mini... I love to see him standing by it, cuz it looks like you could put the mini in your pocket...well, ok, not quite, but...
