An Award from the Queen


Sweet Tammy over at Queen Size Funny Bone gave me this award.
It’s new and original and I love it.
Here are my awards:

I get my cooking inspirations from many places, and I learn about new techniques, tutorials, challenges, and products from way too many sites to mention and most are not blogs, but I do follow a few meme’s that help me use what I’ve learned so I pass this award on to them:

Kathryn @ Overwhelmed With Joy with Favorite Ingredient Friday
Sandra @ Diary of a Stay at Home Mom with Slow Cooking Thursday
Meredith @ Mercedes Rocks with Scrumptious Sunday
Laura @ I’m an Organizing Junkie with Menu Plan Monday

Fortunately I like to read and always learn something new every time I visit these ladies in particular so I’m also passing this award to Barbara at Candy Hearts & Paper Flowers, Michelle at Scribbit ~ Motherhood in Alaska, Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen, Penelope at the Cafe at the End of the Universe, Misty at Misty’s Words, Diana at Forgetfulone and Joy at Joy of Desserts. These ladies inspire me in sooooooo many ways and help to be clutter free, organized, cozy, on budget, full of crafty ideas and productive. So grab your award and pass it on to those special someones who teach you just by reading their blog.

Bears, bears, everywhere there's bears

Sassy Mama Bear is handing out these bears and her poem.
They’re just to cute to not pass the along to everyone.

We need Friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need Friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.
We need Friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.
We need Friends to remember us
when we have passed sharing memories
that will always last.

SO I pass it on to all my wonderful blog friends, and you know who you are, so snag.

The Perfect Blend of Friendship

Shannon over at Shannon’s Moments of Introspection sent me this award and really made my day. Thanks Shannon! I pass it on to Barbara, Sandra, Stephanie, Misty, Michelle, Jenn, Joy, Diana, Meredith who needs all our prayers as her cousin goes through yet another surgery, Gail, Gina, and Penelope of gave it to me originally a while back as well as everyone else that I may have omitted due to brain freeze. All of your blogs put a smile on my face as I read you each day.

Tickled Pink Too!

Sweet Diana at Forgetfulone gave me this recently. I too was tickled pink to visit my friend and find this amazing award waiting for me! I’ve given these blog awards a lot of thought lately and while I feel truly honored to receive an award, I just cannot limit who I in turn give it to. So I have decided that in the future all awards go to ALL my faithful readers and bloggy friends. Sorry to break the ‘rules’, but I just cannot leave anyone out! So, this award goes out to ALL of you!

Thank you – what a sweet SMILEY AWARD!

Tismee 2 aka Gail has been a busy bee making her own award. She wanted to design something cheerful and smiley and used the drawing of herself that Alexander drew recently of her. A few tweaks here and there on photo shop and ‘voile’ she’d made an award. I am so honored to be one of the first group of recipients.

There are lots of blogs I too enjoy on a regular basis for a variety of reasons, but all of you make me smile and look forward to my next read.

So, in no particular order except alphabetical I pass this NEW blog Smiley award on to:

OMG if I missed anyone, just know you were supposed to be in this quickly made list and pat yourself on the back and SMILE!

Please pass this on to anyone else who makes YOU smile, always linking back to the person who sent it to you of course!

And while you’re here, I have a shameless announcement for an upcoming round-up! Have you heard about the Need to Knead Bread Roundup? I wanted to do a bread round up and Joy at Joy of Desserts, another Scrumptious Sunday offered to make this great button and co-host this bread Roundup on October 15th along with the help of Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers who has so generously offered to be our Mr. Linky person. We will roundup all types of bread recipes. We already have a number of people signed up and it promises to be great. You are all invited to participate. We would love it if you would join us, and we would love it if you would help us spread the word by putting this button in your sidebars or even writing a short post about the roundup.

Thank you JOY!

I found this wonderful surprise trio of awards from Joy at Joy of Desserts when I logged in this morning. Thanks Joy, they really made my day.

I am passing this award on to a few of my very favorite blogs, so it has to go right back to Joy and to Mercedes of Mercedes Rocks, Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen, Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers and Misty at Misty’s Words. Visit their blogs! They are wonderful!

I am giving this award to a few bloggers who make me smile on a regular basis starting with Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers, Mercedes of Mercedes Rocks, Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen, and Misty at Misty’s Words.

This one goes to Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers, Mercedes of Mercedes Rocks, Diana at Forgetfulone, and Stephanie at Mississippi Songbird.

Blogs that make my day!


Sweet Diana over at Forgetfulone gave me this. Thanks so much Diana.

We all blog for different reasons or maybe the same reasons, but we don’t always know it. When we run across a blog that SPEAKS to us, that’s when an award like this jumps out to present itself. There are several blogs I follow each day, so narrowing it down to just 5 blogs is hard so I’m going to break the rules also by re-tagging Diana to start with.
Following that and in no particular order are:
Meredith
Sandy
Barbara
Joy
Misty
Michelle
Thanks again Diana, you made my day!
