Takin' care of Binnissssss

UP FIRST:

A couple of weeks ago I threw caution to the wind and entered into a cool contest over at Blaze N' Crochet...and I won! This awesome little set of baby blocks was the prize:

I am going to give them to my neice's youngest son Jonah:

Who, my dear friends, has a very severe case of chocho-holism...a kid after my own heart if ever there was. It is my highest of hopes that the blocks will entertain him so that he doesn't sneak into the kitchen & douse himself in Hershey's Syrup again. (Because I WANT to do that & last time he didn't leave me any.)

The blocks are exactly as promised, and you know, why wouldn't they be, except that somehow, if possible, they are even snazzier in person. Maybe because this is my first ever contest win. Unless you count the 4th grade talent show in which I tap danced my way into a blue ribbon. Ennneeeeways, I can't wait to see him with them in action, which I imagine will be this upcoming weekend.

AND!!!

Sarah over at Sarah's Sweet Hearts has chosen to give my little attempt at a blog a very nifty award. I'm stoked! This is the dealio:

The Rules:

1. Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.

2. Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.

3. Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post, which explains The Award.

4. Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit This Post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we’ll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!

Before you head on over to check out my picks, let me just clarify that a couple (all) of them might be all Sweet Mama Who IS She? You see, they are all blogs I've happened upon in my extensive innnernet travels that have held my interest or made me LOL for real or have crochet highlights or knock-yer-socks off recipes OR all of the above. I have maybe commented on them a time or two, but mostly I just stalk them from the shadows of my Dell computer screen, because I can. Scary huh?

The tricky part comes in telling them that I am passing this award on to them without giving them the heebie-jeebies...sorta like elementary school when you passed a note to the girl who wore a yellow ribbon in her hair everyday asking if she wanted to be your partner in a little double-dutch jump roping at recess and she replied "Ok, but what's your name again?" Everyone had that happen, right?
