award!

This is the first time that my blog has gotten an award and I feel quite honored! Thanks so much Giuly from La Stanza di Miss Lizzie for having thought of me and given me this award!

Ok, people who get awarded must

1. list 5 wishes
2. list 8 things that he/she absolutely wants to do in the future and
3. award another 10 blog.

Ok, so my wishes and hopes are:

• health and well-being for friends and fam, but in particular for my dear daughter and hubby
  
• to soon be able to make another addition to our family
  
• to manage to make just enough money to pay off my school loans and to travel a bit more often
  
• that people would start respecting the environment a bit more and stop destroying the earth
  
• that my daughter will grow up to be cultured and self-confident
  

and the 8 things to accomplish are:

• start taking yoga classes again
• start sewing clothes for me and my family
• finally learn Spanish well enough to speak it
  
• learn to recognize different plants
• travel in all the corners of the world
• see all those great classic films
• ditto for books
• learn to be more patient with myself and to accept my shortcomings and limits
  

And now the hardest part. Since I've started checking out blogs, I've found so many really great ones. I wish I could award them all, but that can't be done! So 10 of the blogs that I really like are:

AbcHobby.it
Angry Chicken
//Between the Lines//
Cut Out + Keep
Equazioni
Filth Wizardry
Folding Trees
Made
Roberta Filava Filava
The Object Project

Obviously there are a lot more and I took those which had already been given this award out of the running. Congrats to you all! You're all so cool! :)
