Look What I Won!

Hey, what's that over there? Could it be artwork on my fridge? Yes indeed, it seems to be a picture of our family (complete with cat in the window of our house) drawn by my daughter, Janie. Don't we all look happy under that blue sunny sky and...

Wait. What's that holding us up? Could it be our very own All That Is Dazlious magnet from Marla Baltes? It is indeed! If you don't know Marla, she blogs at All That Is Dazlious, where she shares her photography and writes about autism and her beautiful and vibrant daughter Maizie.

I left some Happy Thanksgiving wishes way back on, um, Thanksgiving and Maizie herself picked my name from among the commenters out as one of the magnet winners. I felt a little queasy when I told her how to contact me to send the magnet, as I always do when I let someone a little closer to my real life self, but it was such fun to get the magnet and see Marla's real life handwriting.

I love my new magnet!  Thanks, Marla and Maizie!

  2. I'm sorry but is that how your hair really looks? You're a lot hotter than how I pictured you. ~AR

  3. Yes, AR, my daughter is a very talented artist. I'm actually seriously compromising my anonymity by sharing this -- especially as my entire family is actually is blue. We're very easily recognizable once you know that. Oops!
