Me? An Award?

Darlene has given me an award! An award for inspiring others! Thank you, Darlene.

I am just so surprise to get an award! And one for inspiring others?! Me? Inspiring others? With all my talking about the yard sale finds? The half finshed house projects? The dog?

The award is given to those who inspire others with their creative energy and talents in writing, artwork, design or contributions to the blogging community. (and to the ones I am passing it onto, I would like to add.... just being generally inspiring women)



Thank you again Darlene

I now pass on the award to those who inspire me:

Aimee. Shes my cousin. I am six months older than she is..... She has eight (EIGHT!!) children, and runs an adoption ministry at her church (His Heart for Orphans) and has a sewing business and website (sew sensible). I am exausted just thinking about all she does. Seriously. I dont know how she does it all.

Tyler She is head of the Women's Ministry at her Church, and doing a wonderful (and inspiring to me) job of it. She has five kids and lately, she travels a lot. We are both big fans of Lost and, are on pins and needles waiting for it to come back on. She writes about her weight loss, her work on the ministry team and her life.... and she's pretty funny. Its just a joy to visit her, and if we lived in the same neighborhood, I know we'd be at each other's house daily.

Susie Not only is she a great source for decorating ideas and I love looking at her home.... but Susie is my neighbor, although we have yet to actually met- but we seem to be at the same stores at exactly the same time! We have a "date" at the Broadmoor Craft Festive in November. Her tassle booth is near the cafeteria, which means I will be visiting her at least 30 times each day, and if they are serving their Gumbo again this year, I may never leave her area. (School cafeterias make the best Gumbo- I didn't appericiate it when I was a kid, now... I will knock over other shoppers to get there in time for the Gumbo... and dont even start me talking about the hot rolls...Its a wonder I actually get any shopping done between my trips for Gumbo.)
