The Govenors Award
I don't know who nominated me for the 2009 Governor's Awards for the Arts in Ohio, but I want to say a BIG thank you. Even though I wasn't selected I am honored that I was nominated.

Do you ever just look up and feel like a kid again
lost in imagination and joy of the moment.
I just stood and stared up at the grand old tree.
No thoughts of knitting crossed my mind.

The tree picture and poem are beautiful. A wonderful poem to start a day to.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
My birdy ornaments arrived yesterday and they were the cutest ornaments with such spunk and funk! I love the secret sparkles under the wings, and the eye just makes them a little unnerving which I LOVE!
Thank you so much!
That's a lovely poem about trees. It's funny how people feel connected to different things, I feel that way about the sea. Maybe I'll post my poem about that.
What an achievement! You're so deserving of an award.
Thank you also for the lovely poem and image.
Love

I love the tree poem... am a tree person.
AND!! My dickie bird ornament arrived today!! It is even more amazing than the pictures show... I am so happy and so is my Christmas tree! Thank you!!
I am so glad you like the birdies painter girl, michelle :)
I love this poem, it really captures how I feel about trees.
The connection to trees runs deeply with me also. Famous poet Joyce Kilmer "Trees" was born on the street where I grew up.
Right now, I can't seem to get arrested. Therefore, I appreciate every honor even more. You should too!

Anyway, congratulation on the nomination -- you deserve it -- and, I don't believe you about the knitting. At all.
How I wish I had made it back to YS sooner and long to run over now. I have not been well of late and busy besides...not agreat combo is it? Still, maybe we can steal away soon...I would love to get that way and have some fun.
Love,Sue
