I meant for this post to put up some of the requests from my last post in answer to my question: Which drawings would you like to see a sample of? I will definitely post my next one with those that were so kindly mentioned...beach themed drawings, crosses, and also some of the most recent drawings that I have completed. And I received some other wonderful awards (blog hugs) that I will write about next time.Blessings & aloha!
I have to add another thing that makes me happy... blog friends that I have met and those that I hope to meet! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments!

Oh, thank you for your sweet words, my friend! You are to good to me!
I will have to visit your dear daughter's blog soon. I am sure I will love her!
All your pictures were so adorable, and I loved the "hula hands" one.
Awww...Maria, thank you so much for the blog hug and for your encouraging words.
Your slide show of Girly twirly is adorable! But she was such a sweet, chubby, cuddly little thing....it's easy to make an adorable slide show with that type of subject!
;)
We, too are looking forward to Thanksgiving. However, we won't be celebrating with family, but rather some American friends of ours that are about and hour and a half away. It doesn't even hardly feel like Thanksgiving when the kids have to go to school and there is no big shopping day that follows....it's a strange feeling. But we will get together Friday evening with our friends and we will be thankful with or without it "feeling" like Thanksgiving. The Portuguese are baffled at our description of "Thanksgiving". The idea of the entire country coming to a stop for one day is puzzling to them. Most stores, gas stations, businesses...you name it and it's closed for thanksgiving allowing time for their employees to be with family.
This idea is foreign to them.....God Bless America!!!!
Thanks Again Maria!
God Bless You sweetie!
Awww, what a sweet award to come up with.
Hop ya'll have a great thanksgiving,
Love ,,Because of him.. there is friends like you,,
Hi Maria! Thanks you so much for always thinking of me when it comes to awards. I really appreciate it but somehow I cannot view the award picture created by the "luckiest mrs" so I am unable to copy it. Bummer! It just comes out as "x". You created the nicest slide show starring your cutest first born and you were such a cute pregnant mom!...Christine
Maria, you are a such a sweetheart! I think you're one of the nicest bloggers I follow :-) Thank you so much for passing the award along to me!
Hi Maria!
I am so touched by your blog hug. You make me happy too!I am always encouraged by your comments...and you usually make me laugh!!! The love you have for your family is palpable.
I truly enjoyed the slide show of your daughter. She was so adorable...and today, she is a beautiful woman...from the inside out, judging from your descriptions. The apple does not fall far from the tree...
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Many hugs,
Jane (artfully graced)
Many congrats on this beautiful award, sweet soul. It was a joy to read about some of the things bring you the most happiness in this world.
Many hugs,
♥ Jessica
Thanks for fixing it, Maria! I can see it now and it's pretty cool. Looks like your daughter inherited your artistic talent too....Christine
What a sweet gesture of your daughter! And a post I needed to see today of all days, feeling a little blue right now but this definitely got me back on track thinking of what makes me happy and got my mind off of dwelling on the not so great.
Thanks so much for this lovely award! I am honored to be one of the recipients! Our 2 little dentists to be will be home in a couple of days! :O)
I have something for you on my blog ;)

Hi Maria! Just catching up on my blog reads, and I had to share... In the video of your daughter I swear we had the same baby car seat AND cover!!! I about fell out of my chair... Video was so sweet... I'm sure she loved it.
Maria, I've been a bit absent for a few days in bloggy land. And then I thought of you and wanted to stop by to just say hi and send you a blog hug. And wouldn't you know ~ there you were sending me one! I love when that happens.
Thank you so much for thinking of me. It's been a very tough week and this is such a blessing.
Sending you love,
