Primo Blog Award!

Thank you Karin from Mini Ramblings and Musings for this lovely award!

It didn't come with rules (completely ok by me) so I'm just going to pass it on to 5 blogs that I enjoy. I hope you will take a moment to check them out. These are blogs that I find informational, motivational and just fun-ational (ok, I made that word up). I bet you will find these blogs as enjoyable as I do.

Becky at Clean Mama - This is a recent blog that I have found. Clean Mama has some great organizational printables and fun ideas. (I think Clean Mama and I must be kindred spirits)

Becca at Nap Time Journal - Love the craft ideas here!! I put some of her craft ideas on my to-do list they are THAT good.

Lynn at Queen of the Castle Recipes - Lynn finds some truly delicious recipes around the web that she shares with her readers. Thanks Lynn for the yummy food you've helped me get on the table!

Passport to Savings and Food - Here is a great blog to get some menu planning inspiration.

Rachel at Frugal and Simple Living - Rachel is full of ideas and tips for just like her blog says, frugal and simple living. Most importantly, she has been a real inspiration in me starting my Making Our Home a Haven Podcast.

Thanks again Karin for the great award,
Blessings,
Nancy

Blog Award!

It is so cool to receive these blog awards that float around the internet. It's like a nice pat on the back and I love knowing people are enjoying what I write.
So thanks to Jen from Following the Footsteps who was so kind to give me this blog award.

The rules of this award are as follows:

1) Thank the person who gave the award and list their blog and link it.

2) Share "10 Honest Things" about yourself.

3) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.

4) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.

Here are my 10 honest things:

1. I have to follow a schedule every day. If I don't, my whole day is thrown off and things don't get accomplished.
2. I seriously love KFC coleslaw.
3. I'm a recipe tester for Cooks Illustrated Magazine.
4. I love Disney World and want to live there.
5. I love to travel anywhere and everywhere (except where it is really cold)
6. My most favorite weekends are spent camping in our pop-up camper. (just get me outdoors)
7. You know how computer challenged I am....But my goal in 2010 is to build my own website.
8. My mother taught me to craft and sew I was a young child and my first crafts were embroidery, plaster of paris crafting and wheat weaving.
9. After every meal I have to eat something sweet, a piece of candy. (it's a horrible habbit)
10. I've never smoked a cigarette. Never even tried a puff.

Here are my 7 blogs I'd like to pass this award on to:
Jen at Tatertots and Jello
Sue at Sue's Cricut and Crafts
Kim at Today's Creative Blog
Carmen at Waxed Out Creative Life
