An O.M.B Award!

Wow, I'm so flattered and amazed! Thanks so much! I received this Oh My Blog..! award for my book reviews over at 5-squared. Actually, two people passed it to me and Congrats to them as well:

Heather at Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Books
PapeRDoll at Book Memoirs

So, go on over and check out their amazing book review skills on their blogs. Plus, you'll most likely find something to read. :)

In the meantime, I'll do one of the following according to the rules for the Oh My Blog..! Award:

1. Get Really Excited that you got the coolest award EVER! (ditto)

2. Choose one of the following options of accepting the OMB Award :

*Get really drunk and blog for fifteen minutes straight , or for as long as you can focus.
*Write about your most embarrassing moment.
*Write a "Soundtrack Of Your Childhood" post
*Make your next blog a "vlog" (video blog). Basically your talking to the camera about whatever.
*Take a picture of yourself first thing in the morning, before you do anything else (hair, makeup, etc,) and post it

3. Pass the award on to at least three, but preferably more, awesome bloggers. Don't forget to tell them.

I don't drink. I have a lot of embarrasing moments. I don't really know how to vlog. I pretty much look about the same in the a.m. as I normally do or maybe I'm hopeful. ;)

So, I'm going to write a "Soundtrack of My Childhood" post. It's going to be fun to take a walk down memory lane through music. My childhood was filled with music and I really enjoy listening to all types of music. I hope you'll enjoy it when it comes up!

I'll pass it along to these impressive bloggers:
Lu at Lu's Book Blog
To Grow On
Jencey at Writer's Corner

And my 5-squared friends to express my gratitude to them for writing book reviews too:
Lula O at Strictly Letters
Carrie at Carrie's Me World
Queen 'Bina at Not a True Blog

Thanks and you're all wonderful!

Blog Award #2

Wow! I just received my second blog award from Bookworm Barista! Thank you, Thanks so much! I really like how Margo describes it on her blog:

It says that you put melting ice cream out of it's misery by eating it's ice cream goodness. Just Kidding.

For me, I'm thrilled that I love ice cream and it's very exciting! Plus, this has such a nice pretense for receiving it because it's called the HUMANE AWARD. It's a lovely combination of black and green too. So, this fair award is given out to the people that always leave nice comments. Well, I know I really appreciate that too from all of you! I love my commenter's! Your gentle and kind words mean a lot to me! Really, really!

I don't wish to be redundant in nominating again some of you like Amanda, Margo, Kim, a few of my commenter's, who have already recently received this wonderful award. But I must tell them that: I congratulate you and that you are so very deserving of it. Thanks for being so kind and I truly appreciate your valued examples!

Others I'd like to nominate for this award:

• my sister, Bonnie's blog, Just Me
• Marcia's blog, MarciaMickelson
• Susan B. Evans' blog: Well-Mannered Frivolity
• Robin's blog: Not a true blog
• Carl V.'s blog: Stainless Steel Droppings
• Nise' blog: Under the Boardwalk
• Jason's blog: Moored at Sea
• Nathan's blog: Nate's Notions
  

Now, I'd like to note that I realize that my blog is fairly slow and I understand that but I do appreciate all who ever comment here. What I've noticed about the people above is that I frequently see them saying very nice comments to others all around the blog world as well as here sometimes. Plus, I think you'd like to check out their links as they have super great blogs!

Thanks again everyone for all your comments and thanks for nominating me, Margo!

Blog Award

In spite of my absence from the blog world, I was nominated for my first blog award from my friend, Amanda. I'm really excited about this and it is my sincere hope to better my blog as I much as I can with my faulty computer. I'd like to continue posting more pictures and ideas of homemade cards, paper crafts and scrapbook related items that I've been working on since this is what she has nominated me for. I'll keep taking those photos and eventually they'll be shared with you here. Thanks and this means so much!
