Blog Award

Judy from 

DIY by Design

(who has an awesome blog of her own)

made my day by nominating me for . . .

I am invited to pass the award on to

a few of my favorite blogs.

This is always a hard decision!

I've narrowed it down to the following.

Please stop by & visit them!

I recently discovered 

A Turtle's Life For Me

Natalie's writing is FUNNY

(I usually scan through text, but I read all of hers!)

Visit her blog to see this cute playhouse she

GOT FREE & fixed up!

Some people feel like friends,

even though you've never actually met them.

That's how I feel about my blog friend at

Simply Julie.

I always feel at home when I'm visiting

her blog AND I get cool ideas like 

this pillow made from a placemat . . .

  

Finally, I HAVE met 

Sue Neal at

My Eye Q 

and she's such a doll.

Her blog is about great cooking &

creative ideas like 

hardware store Valentine's gifts

for your Hunny . . .

I am also supposed to answer a few questions . . .

1. Favorite clothing brand? Oh my goodness--I have SUCH a hard time dressing myself! I'm a grandma with an imperfect body--plus I value modesty. SO-O-O-O, it's hard to find things that are: in my budget,  age-appropriate, & flattering. I don't want to look like I'm trying to dress too young & I don't want to look frumpy either. I don't think the way I dress reflects how creative I am, but I'm working on it. I love Antropologie and JCrew--but usually can't afford them! Target is more my speed!

2. Favorite color? This is something I always have a hard time answering because I honestly love almost every color! I'm usually not crazy about purples--but I love pinks. I also love white.

3. Why did you create this blog? I love to do creative things & I wanted to share ideas with others. I also want my blog to be a wholesome & uplifting place for people to visit. I love looking at the map & seeing where readers live. I'm having a ball! If you are reading this . . . THANK YOU!!
