My First Bloggy Award


I was just awarded an "E for Excellent" award from Lelia over at Write From The Heart. I'm speechless and wonderstruck that I even have readers who care about my paltry life struggles, let alone anyone who actually thinks I'm inspiring! I'm torn between laughter and tears, joy and bewilderment.
Thank you, thank you, a million times, thank you!
Now, I am honored to be able to pass this around to ten, (only ten?) faithful and inspiring blogger friends of mine.
God has done an amazing thing with the power of the internet, bloggers and people who write from their hearts.
Here are the ten blogs I find inspiring, fascinating, a daily must-read; in no particular order.

Kim at Reformed Grits
Marybeth Whalen at Cheaper By The Half Dozen
Sue at Praise and Coffee
Lisa The Preacher's Wife
Totallyscrappy at Mudpies to Dragonflies (fellow Lutheran Chick!)
Carla at Four By 40
Laura-a fellow Military Chaplain's Wife
Meredith at Small Steps of Faith
Sara at Sweet Autumn Brew
Gayle at Grace For Gayle (because I self medicate with chocolate too! [snicker] (Oh Snickers, that sounds yummy!)

Now ladies, as they say: "Pass it on!"

4-H Modeling and the Wardrobe Malfunction

Sincerely 'fro me to you and Vintage Thingies Thursday ! Kristen over at We are THAT family has a blogging carnival going on Thursdays, and she asked for bloggers to share a story from our past, something that won't probably make it into a scrapbook because we can't find our crinkle-cut scizzors or some mouse peed on the pictures or whatever reason. Apron Queen also has a carnival goin on called Vintage Thingies Thursday, I thought since I am so good at multi-tasking, I'd roll two posts into one and call this story both; an embarrassing story from my past as well as vintage. Now if you think that those bangs aren't vintage, and that, "Oh My! Would you look at that zipper!" I don't know what is! So, this is my story... Fall 1978, it was the beginning of my modeling “career.” It all began at the Western Idaho Fair, on the exhibitor’s building main stage, or rather behind the main stage. There I was waiting for an absolutely dreamy Junior Future Farmers

As if I didn't have enough on my plate...(that must be the understatement of the year)I'm jumping in. I was just going to sit back and watch the clues unfold. But I've gotten sucked in! I'm doing this. I love Bonnie Hunter's quilts. They are everything that appeals to me, colorful, scrappy, frugal with lots of great details. I love her motto about "ugly" fabrics, "If it's still ugly, you just didn't cut it small enough!" Once the first clue came out I knew I had to play along. I love green and pink together. It is all over my house in different shades and combinations. My poor husband has to sleep in a froo-froo bedroom. Which he does willingly to keep my happy. (The first time I saw him, he was wearing a pink Izod button down shirt.) [swoon!] Yet, I digress. So, I'll post my progress here. I'll put up a picture as soon as step one is completed. Ok, I'm excited now! Eating is overrated, isn't it? "It's Campbell

Two Tasks

How hard can it be, I ask? I had two things to do before I put the boys down for a nap. I gathered my keys and the trash and out the door I went, hurrying so that Boo wouldn't be climbing on the baker's rack before I came back inside. Or maybe calling China on my cell phone. Run outside, do the jobs, come back in. Quick. I put the dirty diaper in the mailbox.
