And the Award goes to:

ME!! ME!! I am such a dork, two of my friends have given me awards. I was so excited to get them, still am, but have been putting off posting about it because deciding to whom to give them to is hard. See I really only read a few blogs, and well a little more than a few but to narrow them down to a few is very difficult. So before I get to the who gets them let me tell you the whats.

Tonya, one of my few "stranger" blog's that I read, How did we meet? Anyway, I think I found her through a friend and commented on her blog and long story short we met. She was so very kind to award me with this award.

Thank you so much Tonya.

Patricia my friend from back home, I say that because I have since moved, if you missed that! She and I met through church. She has two blogs, one posting her amazing scrapbook designs and layouts and the other is filled more with her daily adventures of being a mom who also homeschools and is dealing with adding to the struggles of motherhood with MS. Thanks so much Patricia for this award.
