Orders, Award, Winnings Part II and a Sweet Surprise

Recently, I have been working full time, for which I am thankful and it is a blessing.  With that though, I haven't been able to be visit the many wonderful blogs I follow.  But I do appreciate you checking in on me and leaving your comments.

I have been keeping up with drawing orders. Thank you for the continued interest.  It's always fun to see what those orders will be of.

Thank you, Pamela for thinking of having this drawn for Amy. (This one was a local order that was picked up yesterday evening).

I received another fun award (AKA blog hug~as Debbie of Heart Choices call them :o)

.... Hm...it will be hard for me to do, since it involves answering with ONLY ONE word answers!  Thank you, sweet Ave from Made in Canarias!  You'll have to take a peek at her place...she has a great blog with cute photos & stories of her darling little niece.  (I love babies :o)

like another blogger friend has said on her blog... "it's my blog, so my rules" haha
...I'd also like to add two more bloggers here, besides the 6 that we are supposed to pass this award to. 

MamaM @ My Little Life 

Our daughter @ TheLuckiestMrs.

...and about #2... that black was written in grey, is not a mistake...yep, my hair is mostly black, with some grey/white sprinkled in there, more and more each day!


*sigh* picking only 6 fav bloggers are about as hard as having to give ONE word answers :o)

1) Christine @ Christine's Home and Travel Adventures
2) Angela @ Miss Sweet Tea
3) Gracie @ A Touch of Grace
4) Kathie @ My Net Finds
5) Nan @ Mom's the Word

& Tara @ Not so Perfect, contacted me to let me know that I won her UPrinting Poster giveaway! Thank you so much for a wonderful giveaway! wow! Gee...it's gonna be hard to decide what to have done!  So many possibilities ;o) (I'm like this when we eat out too...I have a hard time deciding, so usually ask to be the last to order!)

and about my Sweet Surprise...

first I found this:

then opened it to find this...

and this...

This Portuguese Galo is perfect!!

My hubby says he'll have to let his brother know that "It's official...He, and not his brother, is the true "Portagee" (Hawaiian Pidgen slang for someone who is Portuguese) since we have the authentic galo from Barcelos, Portugal."  It is a running joke, that his brother always says that he is PURE Portuguese, in spite of the fact that they do have some Spanish, Irish, and French in their family lineage :o) and even if the other siblings say they are Portuguese with a little of the Spanish, Irish, and French...my hubby's brother loves to say that he is PURE Portuguese.

Nina, Thank you SO much!

It has been so much fun meeting you through the blog world and never would I have imagined that I would meet someone who is in Portugal and would bless us with a special gift!

Nina @ Portugal Bound has fun tales and photos of their whole family as missionaries in Portugal.  She has a great sense of humor and lovely, lovely kids... I am so impressed that the 3 older girls are attending Portuguese-speaking school and I am sure that their youngest daughter and their little guy will be fluent in speaking Portuguese also!  How awesome!

Blessings & Aloha!
