You Like Me, You Really Like Me.....

This past week I have received 2 awards & I couldn't be more flattered. I am fairly new to the blogging world and while the reasons I began blogging are not the reasons I continue, it has been nothing but a positive & uplifting experience, providing me a creative outlet & a place to call bloggy home. First, Miri over at The Carpenter Clan gave me this Arte de Pico award for always posting a yummy recipe. Thanks so much!!!!!












I would like to pass this award on to the following who make me smile each day:
1.Kiera at Peace & Pandemonium - her photos are breathtakingly beautiful!
2.Stephanie at Our Piece of Quiet - she's sassy, her name is Stephanie and she is a Scorpion & I just plain ol' like reading her blog.
3.The Rockin' Wife - She's so down to earth, so real and she just seems like someone I would want to hang out with on her front porch having a glass of wine. I'll never forget, she was the first person to ever put me on their blog roll. It's like seeing your name in lights...........

Also, Life, Love & Lola just gave me this award today for my recipe postings as well. Her advice: don't come visit on an empty stomach. To my blog, that is. If you're coming to my house, then you better!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!









I would like to pass this award on to:
1.Tam at MommaSong - she's so energetic, I can always feel it in her words, and always so free with the bloggy love.
2.Melissa at A Little Loveliness - I haven't known her for long but she has such a gentle soul & a very close relationship with God. Her posts are so moving and you should see how creative she gets on her 7/17 post, Delivering Comfort.
3.Molly at I Need a Martini - New to my blogroll, I enjoy reading about her life, she keeps it real and she loves martinis!
4.Steel Magnolia - Another real lady who I enjoy reading everyday for awhile now. I never know what she is going to write about, and it never matters. And I love the blog title!!
5.The Sweet Pea Chef - she's always conjuring up a fantastic meal on a whim, with the health and wellness of her 2peas in mind
6. Elizabeth at This is Our Life - She has a beautiful relationship with God & her husband, and her photos are just as stunning. Just another real lady I like reading everyday!
