An Award, and Happy Purses

I have received an award from my amazing, mad scientist, ( I cannot say that without a smile on my face), friend Protege. I don't know what makes me more giddy, that she thinks I deserve an award, or that it is such a pretty, and colorful award. To quote Golum...."my preeciioouusss". Now I am probably just scaring people. Seriously, Thank You sincerely for thinking of me Protege. I am to list six things that I love. This will be difficult because I like everything!!! Then, I get to pass it on to some other deserving people.

Things I Love
1. Food (in general), but most of all ice cream with hot fudge. My biggest problem is that I tend to eat these hot fudge sundaes in the middle of the night. :)

2. My family, my friends, and my religion.

3. Making art and crafts. (It is my therapy)

4. Literature........a good book or poem makes me almost giddy.

5. When all of my kids are happy and laughing at the same time.

6. The smell right after a rainstorm.

This part is the hardest part because I have fallen in love with so many amazing blogs. They are like eye candy, or my favorite magazines with a new update nearly every day. I imagine many of you have already received this award,...but here it goes. I pass it on to.....

1. half of the style sisters- She is an encourager...I love that. Not to mention creative and clever. She totally marches to the beat of her own drum and makes it cool!

2.ml at the House of Whimsy- Her blog is yummy....like when you go window shopping and get soo excited about all of the ideas racing around in your head that you want to go home and try. Soo crafty and original!

3. the Shabby Nest-(Nepotism has nothing to do with it,...if I had only just met her I would still think she was amazing.) She is Wendy, need I say more? The Talent runneth over!

I Have Crafted Happy Purses...............

The question is.........are they worthy of a boss's 11 year old daughter??
