A Little Recognition to bring a Smile~

Sometimes we all need a little pick me up.  It's always fun to know that someone in 'blog land' likes what they see on your blog, isn't it?

Well my blog friend Catherine at PaperAddict Catherine, gave me this nice award for a blog that inspires and makes her smile.   THANK YOU so much Catherine, you made my day!

This phrase translates to "This blog's a charm!" and I appreciate her sending this to me.  It's especially cute with little 'Tink' sitting there!

There are so many blogs that inspire me and make me smile, and if I listed all of them, this post would never end.  So I've picked only a few to share this with, and give them the opportunity to recognize a few friends too (and you've got to visit them...inspiring):

Stephanie Zito at Stephanie's Creations
Monica at Gardner's Basket
Lynn at Millers-Ink
Emily at Emmie-lou Who...
Rona at A Little Inspiration from Rona

Enjoy! and hope it gives you a smile today!

thank you...ms bright side award

Wow, what a nice surprise to get this blog award from Monica over at Gardner's Basket!  THANK YOU so much for thinking of me Monica!  You've got to take a look at her blog...she's got some talent and recently made a diaper clutch (awesome)!, and re-purposed a cereal box into a note pad holder (fantastic)!

As a recipient of this award, I have to share with you 10 things that make me happy, 5 pieces of trivia (about myself), and pass this on to 5 bloggers.

I had to wait a few days with my post till my allergies were better, so that I could answer these questions with a clear head, well sort of =).

10 things that make me happy: my son, my sisters, my two chocolate labs, baseball, baking, chocolate, creating, volunteering, my friends, and hoarding craft supplies (yup, I said it!).  

5 pieces of trivia: (hmmmm...trivia, means unimportant things, hmmmm...) my first car was a brand new gold VW; I met Garth Brooks, shook his hand and he *winked* at me (loooong time ago)!; I marched in lots of parades at Disneyland; I love Lifetime movies; I love the way the Arizona desert smells after it rains.

I'm passing this award onto:
Shemaine @ Scraptastic!
Robyn @ Combat Cropper Robyn
Paula @ Tvorilka
Angie @ My Scraptastic World
Catherine @ Paper Addict Catherine

If you can, please take a few minutes to visit these amazing gals!
Hope your day is 'bright'!
