blog luv

Blogging is just the coolest.

Seriously.

There's such an abundance of inspiration swirling around in blogland, I could almost get lost in it...forever!

I can't get over how many sweet people I've met through blogging...making friends was never a thought when I started blogging.

I love blogging all the time, but especially this week!

Why, you ask?

Well,

Bloggers do these sweet giveaways all the time and I sign up constantly and never do I win them :(

BUT this week, I won two!

No way, right?!

I'll be sharing on my winnings soon!

The other cool thing that happened this week in my blogging life was sweet Melissa from Miss Sew & So

blessed me with a flattering blog award...

an award created simply to say
"I love your blog and thank you for inspiring me."

Well, geesh girl...I am so flattered :)

Like I said, I am constantly amazed by the talent out there

and I am inspired by so many sweet, talented women in blogland...I'm totally humbled to know I touched somebody in some way.

Thank you, Melissa :)

I started blogging in July of 2009...

part of receiving this reward is linking our first post,

just to revisit our blog past.

So, HERE ya go...eeek!

I'm also passing this award on to a few lovelies that have inspired me lately.

{Glenda}

I just love Glenda...she's doing the best series on handling change in your life.  She's such a strong-in-her-faith kinda girl, and that in it's self is inspiring.
She is also one of my sweetest commenters.  Her comments always make me smile :)

{Tiffany}

Tiffany and I have so much in common and we just recently "met" each other. But we already consider each other good blog buds.

She homeschools her kids too and we're almost exactly the same age, not that that always matters with friends ;)

I'm inspired my her realness, her get-it-done attitude, her humor, her desire to try new things, oh and her hair.

Along with Tiff, I also met her sis-in-law,

{Nicole}

Nicole so inspires me because she's a hard worker, balancing school, her family, and her art.

She has beautiful art and she's planning on starting an etsy shop soon, so that's good for all of us :)

Thank you so much for inspiring me, girlies!
