Fan Award, a Great Day and Helloooo...did I mention Giveaway?

Giveaway.  Don't forget.  See below.  Hey, you might win.  And  you could send the collage to your mom or your momish-type person of honor for Mother's Day and pretend that you made it!  Because it would be yours, and you can do what you want with it.

Also.....tough to be inside today - it is a beautiful, 80-degree day, so I'm only taking a break from hanging outside, relaxing, acting like I'm working in the yard.  

Plus, I just finished a cool book about Barbie and her inventor, Ruth Handler and wanted to post about it. It's deck, and provides interesting insight into a remarkable woman who was really ahead of her time, and was truly the driving force behind Mattel.  Despite any mixed feelings you might have about Barbie, Ruth set standards for women in business.

Last, I received a 'Fan of your Site' award from Kim - look over there on the side, see?  Thanks Kim!

I'm off - outside for more chillin'.  Or warmin'.  Whatever it takes.
