Now my cup truly runneth over! Yours truly is the proud recipient of not one…
oh no…
but two, that’s right, I said it, count ‘em two blog awards in the past few days.
I’d like to thank the academy…oh wait, wrong prepared speech. I’ve been working on that one for so long…
Honestly, I’m tickled, I’m thrilled, and I’m touched that my fellow bloggers took the time, not only to read my little piece of cyberspace over here, but felt compelled to pass it along to others. So let me try my speech again.
Ahem, I’d like to thank Angela over at My Book Barn and Lazaro at Lazaro Cooks for this wonderful honor. Angela has a great little site over there and if you’re a fan of reading, like I am, I swear, when I have time, no I mean it…I can read! Not to mention Lazaro, who is always cooking up something beautiful and delicious. Please swing by and check out both of them.
So today, ladies and gentlemen of the academy? Oh no wait, I did it again didn’t I?
Uh, members of the Hollywood Foreign Press? Nah, that’s not it!
So today my dearest bloggie friends I will feature my girl Angela’s award (Lazaro’s will be featured next week)
Well, I’m honest and I’m scrappy. And I love to scrapbook so that works too, huh? The deal with this one is I need to list 10 honest facts about myself then pass this along to ten lucky fellow bloggers.
So away we go.
Ten Honest Things:
1. I am the proud proud Mother of three little boys, and yes I assume there will certainly be a place for me in heaven…
2. I love to cook…duh.
3. I am a card carrying member of the Jon Bon Jovi fan club…
4. I love sports, hockey, baseball, football…good thing too (see #1)…
5. I can recite the entire screenplay of any John Hughes film…go ahead test me.
6. I am truly thankful for all the wonderful online bloggie friends I have made over the past few months…
7. I’m a closet scrapbooker, though I haven’t had much time for it recently…
8. I love the smell of a fireplace in the rain…
9. I married my best friend…insert “awwww” here…
10. I’m afraid the end of the line is near from my old old bullmastiffs, 11 and 9 1/2 years old…sniff sniff
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, I will now pass this award on to some of my favorite blogs to hang out at, grab a cup of coffee and settle in for a good read. And the Oscar goes to, I mean the lucky winners are…
Shell over at Things I Cant Say

Congratulations on your Oscar, um, Emmy, oh wait, Honest Scrap award. Cool beans. And many thanks for passing one along to me. I just checked, I’m following out loud. I’m such a lurker (anonymous follower) that I never know who I’m really following. I’m rambling. I get that way when I’m nervous. I’m just all aflutter.
Congratulations!!
