Several Awards

I have gotten several awards lately and I have let them stack up due ot ..you know..time crunch…which is not to be confused with abdominal crunch which I need to do more of…

however..here are the awards I have gotten and the ones I am giving….Ready?

From Tiffany of Lattes and Life I got the Smile Award.She said I could post it on any of my blogs…LOL!

2. Must love one another
3. Must make mistakes
4. Must learn from others
5. Must be a positive contributor to blog world
6. Must love life
7. Must love kids

Now, I am not sure where she got her information because those don’t describe me..but don’t tell her, she will be crushed.  But I am so happy to be a recipient of it that I am not going to argue #3,4, 7….

Thanks so much Tiffany!

So..here are the five people I am giving this award to….

1. Ivory Spring  because she always has something nice to saya nd the images on her blog are gorgeous! Quilts and flowers, what more could you ask?

2. Courtney because she is so sweet.  She always has an encouraging thing to say no matter what is going on in her own life.   Besides we share some amazing similarities in our lives.

3. Fern because she has some amazing ideas with small spaces….I mean, homesteading with an acre or tow is one thing..but whne ou only have a balcony or an patio?

4. Cathy  because I really do laugh out loud at so many of her posts. I can even forgive her for being married to…you  know…a doctor.

5. Jan at Jan and Tom’s Place ..because she always has something fun going on.

O.k…Next Award….
