Blog Awards II

Hi! My name is Joy and I am a procrastinator... Seriously, I am. I try so hard not to be that way but sometimes it seems that the harder I try, the worse I get. Several people were kind enough to give me awards awhile ago (and I do mean awhile ago) and I am just now getting around to returning the favor. 


I received the Best Blog Award from Tanya of The Grab Bag and from CityGirlGoneCountry awhile ago (as in several months ago) and have delayed in passing them on. If you haven't already checked out The Grab Bag or City Girl Gone Country, please do so. They have wonderful blogs and I know I have enjoyed reading them.

The rules to accept this award are:

To accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his/her blog link.
Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you have recently discovered and think are great!

Finding Michelle is wonderfully written and you'll enjoy traveling with Michelle as she finds herself.

To accept the "Happy 101 Award" I need to:
1. Acknowledge the person who gave it to me
2. List ten items that make me happy, and
3. Award it to ten other bloggers.

I received this award from JDaniel's Mom recently.  She has some great resources for moms and some great giveaways on her site.

10 Things That Make Me Happy:

1. My husband and daughters laughing.

2. Chocolate (Any chocolate will do.  I have a special affinity for Hershey's because of childhood memories.)

3. Umbrellas and galoshes in funky and whimsical patterns.  They make me smile on rainy, dreary days.

4. Snuggling under several blankets at bedtime.

5. Gathering with friends at our house.  

6. Traveling.

7. Shoes (There is no such thing as to many shoes.)

8. Vintage hats (my collection started as a joke and it grew with the help of family and friends)

9. The smell of fresh laundry.

10. Getting lost in a book.

Here are the bloggers to who I am passing this award:

 Wonderfully Chaotic

 Theta Mom

  Eternal Lizdom  

CA Girl

Since it took me three days to finish compiling this list that I started awhile ago, it will probably take me awhile to get around to all of these amazing bloggers.

Have a great Monday, Everyone.  Repeat after me, "snow, snow, go away...."  Another snowstorm is forecasted for tonight.  Yippee. (Yup, that was sarcastic.)  Tomorrow is Fashnacht Day and what would it be without a doughnut run????
