An Award!

We are thrilled about receiving an awesome award from one of our readers!

Thank you so much Adam and Wendy from A & W!   I'm so glad to get to know another fellow blogger!  They have the cutest blog, and they talk about all kinds of things.  Maybe we should consider a blog swap sometime soon, what do you think Wendy? ;)

So, from what I understand, we list 7 interesting things about ourselves first.  Here we go:

Vanessa

1. I was born in the southern most state of Brazil. Southerners in Brazil are just as proud (cocky) as southerners in the USA. (long live the South!!!)

2. I'm a carnivore.  I love beef, steak, preferably rare.  I can eat more meat than my husband.  Probably because I'm from the South! :)

3. I love my little girls more than life itself.  There's nothing I wouldn't do for them.

4. I have a mantra I say every morning, "Love makes me invincible".  It helps me remember why I do things and motivates me to do it.

5. I'm a coupon clipper.  I LOVE saving money!!!  

6. I love crochet and knitting.  I'm much better at crocheting but I'd love to be a great knitter and make beautiful projects.  

7.  I can't SEW!!!  I have a sewing machine, but I'm scared of it!  I'm trying to overcome my fear.

We have received the Sunshine Award! :)

Check this out!

We are honored to receive this Sunshine Award from C.R.A.F.T. !!  My goodness, I feel important now! :)  I've been getting acquainted with Jamie's blog, and let me tell you, I've been inspired! The fact that C.R.A.F.T. stands for Creating Really Awesome Free Things is enough to get me hooked!  You guys need to go check out her amazing blog!  THANKS JAMIE!!!

Now it will be my pleasure to pass this on to 6 AMAZING bloggers out there.  One of my favorite pastimes is surf the net and check out all the wonderful creativity that is out there in the blog world.  It's just so hard to chose just 6!  And after keeping our little blog going for the last few months, I've learned that it's really hard work!  All you bloggers out there deserve some recognition.  Today, here are my 6 amazing picks:

1. Creative Jewish Mom


I just love her creativity, her uniqueness, and her faith.  When I make it over to her blog, I spend at least half an hour just soaking it all in.  Thanks for sharing your talents with us!!!

2. Along for the Ride


Laura's blog is an inspiration to me!  I love not only her crafts but the messages she shares.  Thanks for doing what you do Laura!

3. Glue Guns and Spatulas


If I could just hang out with these ladies and learn all their awesome mommy skills I soooo would!  You guys are amazing, and I love your insight into everyday life.  Thanks!

4. Ruffles and Stuff


Disney is such a sweet, creative, gorgeous person!  When we first started our blog, she was the first one to feature our work and give us some recognition, to which we are grateful.  Not only that, but this lady can do amazing things with the most basic things around her.  Can you believe she made this cute dress from an old t-shirt and a sheet?  Yeah... I wish ...

5. 733 - a creative blog



Kim finds inspiration for her crafts from her little ones, you can tell!  I bet her kids love all the awesome things she makes for them!  (I should make them for my kids... )  You are an amazing blogger, Kim!

6. Mrs. Priss


Okay, I would totally love to hang out with Morgan, who pridefully calls herself a "big fat priss".  Not only are her crafts to die for, but she seems to be one of those people who you could laugh and laugh with until your belly hurts!

Alright, winners, here are the rules: 
1. Put the logo on your blog or within your post.
2. Pass the award on to 6 other bloggers.
