Winning!

So I got this award from a friend... Holly at HvH Interiors. Yay me! So what does it mean???

"Liebster" means "favourite" or "beloved". So the award is given from one "small" blogger to another to support and appreciate the smaller blogs that they love. And the way it works is that once you receive the award you must thank the blogger who gave it to you and provide a link to their site on your blog. Then you choose your favourite or "liebster' blogs (who must have less than 200 followers) and post links on your blog to their sites. Then you contact them to tell them so. They, in turn, will follow the same procedure. You are supposed to choose 5 blogs to award, but I'm not such a big blog reader so I really only have 4 that I'd like to choose... other than Holly's blog of course. So....

1. Neuroses Galore
2. The Twisted Chef
3. Roxanne Ross
4. Jenne Like Me...

Yay bloggers... keep up the good work! And Jenne... That means POSTING.

My Belly Cast

Here she is! I'm really glad we decided to go at it ourselves and not get it professionally done. Gives it so much more meaning. My husband did the initial casting with the gauze & plaster and then I went over it again after with another 2 coats of plaster I bought at Michaels. Then I tried to sand it smooth but couldn't... so I went with the 'rustic' look... which I really like now that it's all done. I dyed some plaster pink to apply the stencil to keep with the rustic look. Working with a stencil on a round, rough surface is NOT easy... but I'm happy.

FREEZIN' for A Reason!

My husband lost his marbles (literally!) today and took part in Kingston's polar bear plunge, Freezin' for a Reason.. that reason being the Special Olympics. It was probably -5c today and the water temperature just above freezing! It was a huge success for the charity and I think the event raised over $25,000! There was a prize for the best costume which is why we saw the re-appearance of Tweedle Dee & Dum...

Here is a video of the plunge!
