I am extremely thankful to Holly for presenting me with this award and as part of my acceptance there are some responsibilities that apply which include thanking the person who sent it to me by linking back to their site (this also applies to those I am passing this award onto as well) sharing 7 things about myself and then having the pleasure of passing this prestigious award to 15 others.I begin this post by expressing my grattitude and excitement over winning my 1st blog award presented to me from my fellow blogging friend, Holly, the creator of Simple Quintessential Cuisine
http://www.simplequintessentialcuisine.com/
Holly has a wonderful blog full of great recipes that I know you will enjoy. Be sure to check it out!
ok....here goes! 7 things about me!
1-I'm married to the most wonderful man in the world! We will celebrate our 28th Anniversary this August!!
2-I have 3 wonderful children! Two of them are married and I'm very blessed with a wonderful son in law and daughter in law that I feel like are my own!
3-My youngest child is now officially a senior in high school!!!! Alot of blogging about him will be going on in the next 12 months...I feel sure!!!
4-Before I opened my own shop, I had an interior design business with my best friend of almost 30 years!!! it was called Grapevine Interiors!!
5-I love to read....and I love to write! Which is why I even started blogging in the first place! It was meant to be a place where I could share my feelings about the different struggles I was facing....it ended up being alot more!!
6-I love the beach! I could live there at least 6 months out of the year and the first thing I want to ask God when I get to heaven is why something so wonderful has to be bad for you! I could sit in the sun for hours if only it wasn't!
7- I'm trying my hand at gardening! I love the idea of a garden but not so sure I like the work!!
Now on to the most important part of this award!! Passing it on to others! Here are the 15 people that I think definitely deserve this award! I'm sure you will enjoy reading all of their blogs...they are all very Versatile!!!
