I won...I won... 
Sandra with her Rose Scarf
It is a blogger award, and this one is really special for me because it came from Sandra, a Writer who Weaves a Tale. She is a published author, and I love reading her blog. She really does weave some wonderful tales there, and reading her blog is something I do when I am looking to get away from the usual FB and promoting things that I do on the computer. It sit back, relax, and enjoy her writing. 

Sandra is a very talented weaver as well, and her shop has the most beautiful scarves, necklaces and wraps, plus handbags as well. She is an artistic and creative lady, who really has a way with words. As I am trying to make writing a bigger part of 'the Raige', to receive this from her is really an honor. And that it came 20 days into NaBloWriMo, where I am now struggling to write every day (I missed 2 days!!), it has given me that push needed to stop slacking and get the writing done.

The Liebster Award aims to spotlight up-and-coming bloggers with less than 200 followers – I'm almost there!

Upon recieving this Liebster Award, there are a few rules:

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
2. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
3. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
4. Have faith that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers. Here's to hoping we can all at least win this lottery!

So here are my top picks, and hard ones, since I have many favorites. These five are favorite creative souls. Their blogs share their creations, and trials and tribulations along the way. I admire their work and their perseverance, as we all are trying to sell our handmade wares. 


1. Handmade Fuzzy
2. Nicole's Vision
3. Red Rose Cakes
4. The Dragon's Breath
5. So Much Yarn, So Little Time

So stop by their blogs, and see what I mean. Support them by following them, and drop by their shop and browse! Think Holidays!

    Dearest Raige, you are just the sweetest! This really moved me. It's the best reinforcement I've received in a long time. As a full-time Mom, wife and frankly, daughter to an elderly mom, it's nice to have some validation I can call all my own. Thank you, and you are a joy and great company to me in the blogging world, my home away from home...:)) I hope this gains you some followers and we both can break 200!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Toekini Anyone? It's GIVEAWAY time!

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
