birthday wishes, Lawrence Welk and some house cleaning

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Barbara !!!

If you want a treat, go visit Barbara's blog - she is fabulously talented and one of the sweetest women I know.

Miss B - hope it's a very special day!

Today's postcard makes me wanna get out my accordion and play a little polka - an-na one an-na two-a(you gotta use that Lawrence-Welk-speak to get the full effect) I love a polka-dot!

I believe I used some stamps from StampinUp!Now on to the house cleaning.

Literally - i gotta do some. My house is slowly turning into a disaster zone. So that's on the agenda this week. (i don't dare think i'll get it all done today - it didn't get in this shape in one day - and it won't be returned to some semblance of order in one day either).
Also some blog house cleaning is in order. I've been the recipient of some awards I keep forgetting to post about. Those that have done the bestowing must think I am an ungrateful blogger. I am just one distracted woman these days.
My good friend June bestowed the Nice Matters Award upon me. Here are my nominees for this sweet award:
