Who Me?!

I am so blessed - today has been a wonderful day! WOW! It seems as if I have a LOT to post today!!

First of all, I received my copy of Paper Crafts Gourmet in the mail yesterday and oh my goodness! All I know to say is order it, order it, order it! I was so surprised when it came and I can't believe that I won such a fabulous prize! Tonight we are trying the Minestrone Soup with Parmesan Crumble found on page 155. Although I have not tasted it yet, the aroma has my house smelling wonderful!


Next, I have had the incredible honor of receiving this award from Sherri at Roses in My Heart (http://rosesinmyheart.blogspot.com/).
As I understand, part of receiving the award is that I am allowed to pass the award on to five bloggers of my choosing. I would like to pass this to:

1. Amber - http://www.thecountryscrapper.blogspot.com/

2. Annette - http://annette-paperbistro.blogspot.com/

3. Melissa Phillips - http://lilybeanpaperie.typepad.com/lilybeans_paperie/

4. Kazan & Laura - http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/

5. Sherry Wright - http://www.sherrywright.typepad.com/

Okay, now I can't tell you how hard that was to narrow it down to 5! I have so many favorites that are on my "visit daily" to do! (P.S. Bonnie & T - you would have sooo been on my list, but I was sure someone else would chose you ;)

Now we go to this - I have NEVER been tagged as a blogger and I just got tagged by Annette at Annette's Paper Bistro (http://annette-paperbistro.blogspot.com/) and here is how this works...

All the products used on here are the same as what I used on the card for the 2 sketches challenge - in fact, these are the scraps!!

God Bless You,
