Danybrod Finish and Liebster Award

I hope you are all enjoying a joyous Easter season! My Easter was very busy, filled with family, cooking, cleaning and more cooking! I did however, make sure to take out some time to work on this little cutie by http://http://dany88.canalblog.com/Danybrod. I love all of her patterns, and her blog is so beautiful!
I also got another Liebster Award from Marsha at http://EverybodylovedClark.blogspot.comEverybody Loved Clark.
Marsha's blog is filled with beautiful, inspiring cross-stitch as well as other projects! For some reason, it seems my hyperlink thingee isn't working properly and my son that always helps me with the computer isn't home. So....if you would like to visit either of the blogs I tried to link up to and they don't work, you can just google them in. I'm sure you already know that...

Liebster Blog Award

I'm so excited that I got this encouraging award from Krista of Just Stitching Along! This award is geared toward new bloggers or bloggers that have under 200 Followers. The word liebster in German means favorite. I have found some beautiful and helpful blogs that I have on my Favorites bar and click on them nearly every day. I would like to pass those on to you! When accepting this award, there are several things the blogger must satisfy. They are:

1. Choose five up-and-coming blogs (with fewer than 200 followers) to award the Liebster to.

I Stitch Therefore I Am Beautiful cross stitch, great book selections, everyday life

The Path to Frugality A delightful blog about all things frugal and then some

If You Do Stuff Stuff Gets Done Wonderful sewing, cooking and family life

Simplicity and Beauty Delicious recipes, simple, joyful living
Wendy's Ramblings Knitting, recipes, family life

2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.

4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.

1. I have lots of energy and am known to do Zumba at 11:00 PM before bed

2. I share the same birthday as my brother but we are two years apart; neither of us were C-sections

3. I've had six miscarriages but view them as gifts from God

4. My favorite chore is hanging clothes on the line. I use that peaceful, quiet time to pray for my family or others who may need prayer

5. I have a degree in computer programming that I never used and am computer challenged

I hope you can visit the blogs I listed above as I enjoy each one so much and hope you do, too!

Thank you, Krista, for the opportunity to share my favorite blogs with others!

Blog Award!

I'm just tickled pink with this little 'ol blog award! See, my blog is one of the "little" ones. Not too much traffic... but that's O.K., as I'm honored that the people that do read my blog are really, really nice. So here's passing the award to a few of my favorite blogs (people!): You can find all of them over at my side-bar, because if I list 'em, I read 'em... Plus, I KNOW these four people. Wendy I really know 'cause she lives two towns over from me and we've had some Starbucks night outs and cookies swaps together... which by the way, I think we're due for a night out. And the three others I've gotten to know through blogging, and even if I've never met them in person, I feel like I know them anyway. They're a wonderful bunch of ladies, so if you haven't visited their blog before, give them a click. I think you'll enjoy their blogs as much as I do.

Christina at Bumblebee Bags - She's funny, nice and the most generous person I know. She makes beautiful bags and little boys (O.K., we'll give her husband partial credit on the boys, but NOT the bags)!

Amy at Ekblad9 - Amy is a kind-hearted homeschooling mom of 8. Her kiddoes are cute as can be and she keeps you up-to-date on the runnings of a busy household. Plus, she always gives me deep things to think about spiritually.

Wendy at Pineneedle Garden - Wendy is just a peach... and she's funny! She shares a lot of wisdom from Waldorf style homeschooling to spiritual matters to gardening, recipes and everything in between.

Cheryl at Quilting Memories - Gentle and kind comes to mind when I think of Cheryl. She sews beautifully and has some delicious recipes, too.

So if you're so inclined, give these blogs a visit. These ladies are really nice and their blogs a joy to read. If I only have a couple minutes for blog reading, these are the four I click on.
