An Award!

I received this award today from both Tami and Muddin Thru Motherhood and Julie at Blessedwith5
. Tami is a stay at home mom of four precious kids. She shares her life and great store deals with all of us. Tami serves the Lord by going on mission trips and working where she can. Julie is a stay at home mom to five kids. She is also under construction at her house and shares all about her life with the kiddos. I think she has to get the comment award from me because she is always first to comment almost on every post. Both these ladies are great cheerleaders and great to have around.

I am passing on the award to these five bloggers:

Sandy at 4 Reluctant Entertainers I think I found a soul sister in Sandy. She shares my love of entertaining, but she is so much better than I am! She lives too far away to invite me over so I have to pretend. So, go pretend, too. She will show you what you would eat and how her table would look if you could have been there.

Mrs. Darling at Peter Pan and Family. Mrs. Darling has childhood experience of a large family and is a great storyteller. She seems so wise beyond her years. She and I are fighting the fat together and we are going to be skinny one day. She shares her life with her precious kids and all their adventures in Sherwood Forest. For some reason I picture Mrs. Darling talking with an English accent. Whether it is true or not I picture her and her family living down a lane with a fence and flowers. Oh, she has to have a front porch so she can serve me lemonade in the rocker.

Valerie Lea from Tennessee now in AL She lives about 30 minutes from me but I have never met her in person, just blog friends. She is absolutely gorgeous. We have kids of similar ages so really need to get together. She shares the greatest photos of her family and lately is getting all crafty on us. She seems like she would be so much fun to be around.

Melissa at Off the Wall is newer to blogging, but oh my, go check her out! She has a business and can paint anything. She faux paints and decorates for actual money! I am amazed at her treatment to make metal garage doors and regular shutters look like European wood doors and shutters. I get so much inspiration from her.

Connie at Laughter By Lakeside is one of my new finds in blogworld. She is an interior decorator that specializes in faux finishes. She shows photos of homes she has done and is fabulous at glazes and paint treatments. She lives on Smith lake and is so sweet she invited all of blogland over for the 4th of July. Check out her site because it will give you lots of inspiration on how you can mistreat walls and cabinets and mantels.
