Can you believe it?!?!?! I am incredibly happy and proud to have joined the ranks of so many women that I admire (for many and varied reasons) and who I consider friends.

I have always wanted to visit Ireland, it is one of my goals before leaving Europe, even if just for a weekend. I have just always been so drawn to the country. I always thought I must have some Irish in me somewhere.... but now I'm wondering if it wasn't my Shronedom calling me?

In honor of this award being bestowed upon me, I am going to do something I never let my hubby do for me before.... I am going to have him set up a savings account for me and deposit a set amount each month (probably $20, that's what we put in B's account) and this account will be there just specifically for our eventual trip to Shrone, Ireland. I make a public vow not to touch that money until our group trip =) The way I figure it, if I save $20 a month towards it, by the time we all go I will either have enough saved for the entire trip.... or at the least I can use tax refund money for the plane ticket and the saved money can be spending money. Either way, I'll have the money some way *g*

And you know, hubby will tell me I'm crazy, but he will completely understand and go along with me =) This is just another reason why I love and adore him. When he knows I really really want something, he will do whatever is in his power to see I get it.

Now, on to other stuff...

I bought myself a purty pair of silver and garnet (my birthstone) earrings last night =) I saw much I adored, but I held out all day. I kept thinking, "What if I buy something and then the next piece it shows is something I love even more?" so I waited, and finally I was rewarded with the lovely pear cut garnet earrings =) They had a necklace too but I didn't get it.... yet. I have a feeling it will be shown again.

I ordered yarn yesterday for three hats I have been asked to make, so while I was at it I of course ordered myself some more ;) I got three skeins of RH Symphony in Redwood. Don't know what I'll make with it yet, but I adore that yarn (sooooooooo soft!)

I finished the Monk's Hood and I think I like how it looks on me... I am waiting for a sunny day so I can look outdoors to be sure (I don't want to look yellow and some colors do that to my skin) I haven't decided yet if I want to attach a poncho to it or not. I'm wavering, so I will wait to decide for a while. I really think I'd rather have that in the red color. If so, I dunno what I'll do with all the green I have left. None of my friends wear that color. Maybe make something for the next craft fair? (which I still haven't made up my mind about and it's set for Dec 4th)

I also finally used that green yarn from the shrug that wasn't meant to be. I turned it into Dot's On Safari hat and made a scarf using a stitch from one of the books hubby bought me. Sorry, no pics just yet. I am still waiting for some sunshine. If I don't get any soon I will work out some lighting indoors so I can post pics, I have lots to take lol.

Well, I have to get off here and get our day started. It's a three day school week, so I want to be sure to get plenty of work accomplished to make up for having more days off.

Hope ya'll have a wonderful week =)
