Spread Some Sunshine

Here comes the sun (do, do, do, do), here comes the sun and I say . . . it's all right!

I'm not big on awards and honors, but I totally LOVE gerber daisies and sunshine, so bring it on! Lori over at Cachey Mama's Classroom and Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics both sent this ray of sunshine my way, so I'm thankful to them today. Go and visit Cachey Mama's site for some really cute early childhood ideas and Tara's place for some serious intermediate fun. The award comes with a few guidelines, so here's how you play:
