Thank You again so much Susie B. Homemaker!!!

If you want to read the post where I formally thanked her, please look here.


Now, after a crazy weeked full of walking for Relay For Life (woo hoo, we kicked cancer's ass just so you know and took 4th place with a total of $5,000) and then sleeping the rest of the weekend because I was about to fall over in my tracks from sleep deprivation, I am finally announcing the winner's of the 'A Blog With Substance' award!!!!! (sorry, I suffer from exclamation point overload syndrome- EPOS)


Now, these are in no paticular order, so here it goes.

DRUMROLL PLEASE...........................................................................................................................................................

• Laundry Hurts My Feelings
  

Joann makes me laugh every single post! (Better than any date I have ever been on)

• Mommas's Pixie Dreams

Her blog rock's and her little girls are seriously the cutest thing you ever laid eyes on

• The Cottage Home

I have the greatest desire ever to be half as good of a seamstress as she is, she also lives in my dream house, and throws my dream birthday parties!

• Girl. Inspired.

This girl truly does inspire me, if you don't have a creative bone in your body, you will still feel the urge to go and make whatever awesome tutorial she is walking you through.

• Night Owl Crafting

OMG.... Idea overload is all I can say- but that a good thing right, because we always need a million projects lying around!

• Ruffles and Roses

Giveaways, tutorials, and a summer of skirts- what more can a crafty girl want!

• Housewife Eclectic

This woman is a genius for many reasons, one being that she created a Blogshare Community which have to go check out to find out what it is and the other being that she actually convinced her hubby to help her do it!

The Handmade Dress

This wonderful lady is a master seamstress who I only aspire to be like someday in my sewing endeavors.

• Made By Jess
  

Cute blog, tutorials, and ideas

• Running With Scissors

She is crafty, thrifty, and chalk full of helpful ideas and directions!

Awards, parties, and laundry

I hate to be so quick about everything but I have a LARGE pile of laundry that awaits me to fold and put away. For some reason it is always so easy to put in washer and dryer but I absolutely despise folding and putting away!

Anyways, I would really like to thank Susie B. Homemaker for giving me the 'A Blog With Substance' award.

I feel so blessed to be so new to blogland and have 70 something readers and now 2 awards under my belt. I was sure that my mom was the only one who actually read my blog so thank you again Susie B. Homemaker.


The Rules:

My Five Words----

FaMiLy--WhirlWind--InSpiRinG--MotherHood--EveryDay Life--

okay so I cheated on the last word but I couldn't think of just one word to say it with! ;)


Now, if it's okay with everyone else I will post the 10 blogs that I think have real substance later.


Fridays are always so fun with the gazillion blogging parties that take place so I will be linking up with

How a bad day turned good :)

So Olivia is still trying to get these 2 teeth through and they are just torturing her so she has been miss grumpy pants today and who can blame her, but it's definitely making things rough. Then she face planted it on the hard kitchen floor today and the poor thing cried so hard she could hardly breathe ( you know that cry that just breaks your heart) Thank God nothing was seriously wrong with her, but she has definitely been having a bad day.
Then my half gallon of milk spilled everywhere in the fridge, so I had to clean that out, all while my child, and the boy I babysit created a disaster area in the living room so Yea- I get to go clean that now.
