Kreativ Blogger Award!

Thanks so much to Re-Creations Project for thinking enough of my blog to pass on the Kreative Blogger Award to me! I am honored indeed. If you haven’t checked out the Re-Creations Project, you really should! Stacey and Jacqui craft as a way to help folks with learning disabilities. How awesome is that?!

So here are the guidelines for the Kreativ Blogger Award:

•   I thank the person who nominated me and link back to their blog
•  I tell you 7 things about myself that you wouldn’t already know
•   I pass the award on to 7 bloggers that I think are pretty awesome.

About me:

1. My favorite color is any color other than black. I just can’t pick one. I love all colors and go through these weird color scheme phases in my home and wardrobe.
2. I love to garden but hate dirt under my fingernails. I have to wear rubber gardening gloves and if dirt happens to make its way under my nails in the process, I have to stop what I’m doing and go wash my hands and remove the invading dirt wad.
3. I anxiously await flip-flop weather every year and own a great number of flip flops. I used to be a bare foot teenager, then became an anxious mother (put on some shoes, you don’t want to step on a rock!) and now I have met myself in the middle.
4. I love meeting new people. I find them fascinating. I love to hear all about their lives and watch them as they tell stories about their life experiences. Along the same lines, my husband and I are avid people watchers and will often go to the local amusement park, get an ice cream cone and sit on a bench, making up life stories about the passers by.
5. I love Burt’s Bees original lip balm, but am totally torn about the fact that it does not have any sunscreen in it. So I alternate between Burt’s Bees and Blistex.
6. Two years ago, I was involved in a horseshoe accident. I still have the battle scar to prove it. True story. My friends still make fun of me and have purchased plastic horseshoe sets to keep me safe.
7. I am frightened to death that my mother is turning 70 this year. In my eyes, 70 is officially old. She doesn’t take the best care of herself and I am petrified of losing her.

Now, on to some of the blogs that I have secretly stalked and/or follow and/or just think are worth this awesome award:

1. Lightly Crunchy ~ I look forward to her posts daily. She has such a great outlook on life and shares some of the best homemade concoctions and ideas!
2. Oldentime’s Blog ~ She shares her photos and her life through photos.
3. Chic Envelopments ~ Food, fashion, crafting…you name it, she’s up to it!
4. Clayzmama ~ A varied blog that covers a wide range of topics with humor and faith.
5. Thoughts of a Personal Chef ~ A wonderful blog about what else…food!
6. Our Lady of Second Helpings ~ A journey toward a healthier body, mind and spirit.
7. The Making of a Chef ~ Join Steffani, a budding chef, as she follows her calling.

Thank you again Re-Creations Project for this honor! Now I have to go and find some creativity for the day…I have an award to live up to! 🙂 Enjoy the day folks…it’s the only today you have!
