Stylish Blogger Award

I am so touched that Sandy from Seattle Pastry Girl chose my blog to receive the Stylish Blogger Award and I am honored to be in the company of the other blogs she chose. What is more fabulous than being recognized by a fellow blogger? Plus, it is such a fun way to get to know one another and to promote each other's blogs.
There are a couple of things I need to do as part of the acceptance of this award and I am more than happy to fulfill the requirements:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.


A big HUG and Thank you to Sandy at Seattle Pastry Girl!

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

This is the difficult part for me, but here goes:
  1. I like to drive fast. Very fast.
  2. I ask a lot of questions. My husband jokes that I was born asking the question, "Why?"
  3. I am more comfortable in a pair of jeans than a dress.
  4. I love a treasure hunt.
  5. I am curious and interested in so many things. The older I get the more I realize how little I know, so I am always seeking to learn more. 
  6. I love adventures and the joy of discovery.
  7. Yosemite is one of my very favorite places.
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers. 
This I am more than happy to do because there are so many bloggers that inspire me every day. I have included some recently and not so recently discovered favorite bloggers.

Cowslips & Clover

Living Out West

House Blend

Yummy Chunklet

Garden Rooms

Sophie Munns

The Screen Porch

Sis.Boom. [Blog!]

Appalachian Feet

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!



This is the most fun part - passing it on. Congratulations, everyone! Thank you for all your inspiration!

    Congratulations on your Stylish Blogger Award! Even though I can't always comment on your posts, mainly because I'm not handy with the crafts like you are, I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog!

    Congratulations! I think it's great that your love of Yosemite is on your list of things about yourself. I went there for the first time this past summer when we were on a cross country trip and was completely impressed.

    I really appreciate you passing the award on to me, too. I'm not sure if I can think of a way to incorporate the questions about myself into a "How To" post but I feel very flattered. Thank you!
