Can you believe it? I am the proud recipient of a sweet award from a new reader, Jacie, over from SITS. She gave it to me last week, but between birthday and Halloween posts, it took until today to post it. Here's what she wrote about me:

"And now I want to pass this award on to Heather over at "This is the day..." Ps 118:24. Heather, I love your blog, girl! I love the way you tell your stories and the fact that I can relate to them so well. I'm so glad I found you on SITs. Thanks for the many laughs!".

Thanks, Jacie! Y'all know I LOVE to tell stories, and for some reason, my life always sounds funnier the second time around. I'm glad you're entertained.

Now, for the hard part: choosing someone on my blogroll to pass this award on to. It is way too difficult to narrow it down; every single person on there is worthy. So I'm passing the buck to Isabel, who is going to pick one for me. And the winner is:

(drum roll, please...)

Katy, from What Katy Did Design. Come on down, you're the winner (hey, do they even have The Price is Right in Australia?) Katy and I did a blog swap awhile back, and Isabel still adores her Nintendo DS pouch, and Gabe's sausage dog has been busy fighting monsters every night while Gabe sleeps. Go check Katy out and give her some comment love from the good ole US of A! And while you're there, go check out her Etsy shop. This is one talented girl!
