It's Award Time Again


DaisyGirl from A Daily Scoop of Chaos  had presented me with this award awhile ago. She is a fantastic photographer, has some great giveaways, and she writes fun, honest posts.  If you haven't checked her out yet, please do so.

Here are the rules:
Tell 10 honest things about yourself. And of course pass it on...

10 honest things about me:
1. I love thunderstorms.  The more booming and flashing the better.
2. I am a procrastinator and know it. I have tried to change and failed each and every time.
3. I have an addictive personality hence why I always find time to write on my blog but not to do my laundry.
4. I drive my husband crazy when I get annoyed that he gets annoyed when he says I am mad but I am really frustrated, irritated, grouchy, etc. etc. To him there are three emotions: happy, mad, or sad.  If I was really that simple, life would be so much easier.
5. I was a hoarder when it came to my daughter's crafts in the beginning.  Someone should have warned me about the MASSIVE amounts of crafts that a 2 year old can generate and need to display for all to admire.  I have started weeding out though due to necessity and just plain ugliness. Her foam penguin that is missing the eyes and a nose just had to go.
6. I love chocolate.  Hershey's, if you are reading this, please send some my way.
7. I love planning parties and doing fun craft playgroups with my daughter's little friends.  I just love planning, organizing, shopping, and setting up. Maybe this is indicitive of control issues?!?!?
8. I am constantly rearranging my house and closets. Things have a tendency to get new homes frequently.  This is probably why my husband can never find anything.
9. I have an unhealthy addiction to reality tv (and usually don't admit to it).
10. Okay, this is really hard for me.  My 10th honest thing is that I adore Staples gel stick pens.  I bought my own pens and kept an unending supply in my bag so I wouldn't run out when I taught high school.  I am territorial with my pens.  (I also used purple ink pens.  Yes, I used purple pens to mark my student's papers.  If you ever wonder why your kid is coming home with papers marked in purple ink, read this.)

Did I leave anything out that you are dying to know?!?! Feel free to leave a question in a comment.

Here are ten bloggers I am passing this award to:




This award is from B Sparkly.  Check out her sparkly wit on her site.

2. List who gave the award to you and use a link to her blog (or hyperlink).
3. List 10 things that make you happy.
4. Pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know about the award.

10 things that make me happy:
1. Spring
2. Season tickets to baseball (I can't watch it on tv but will happily sit in a 100 degree stadium in person)
3. My family
4. Shoes
5. Sunshine
6. Magnolias & cherry blossoms
7. The smell of fresh cut grass
8. Driving with the windows open
9. Chocolate (as if you couldn't guess that would be one)
10. Ice cream (maybe better than chocolate in the warm weather)

Here are the bloggers I am passing this award to:

Bear with me, it may take awhile to get around to everyone to share the bloggy love.

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!
Remember to contact the bloggers you've awarded to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

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


I also received the One Lovely Blog Award from "Deal"ightfully Frugal awhile ago and also from Finding Michelle. Again I have been a little slow in passing on this honor. "Deal"ightfully Frugal is a very inspirational blog so stop on over if you haven't checked it out. Finding Michelle is wonderfully written and you'll enjoy traveling with Michelle as she finds herself.

The rules to accept this award:

Accept this award and post it on your blog.
Include
link back to the blog you received it from.
Pass the award to fifteen blogs you have newly discovered.
Be sure to contact them to let them know they have been awarded.
Here are the blogs to whom I am passing this award:

I also received the I Love Your Blog Award from Finding Michelle. Thanks, Michelle! I am passing this award on to some blogs that I enjoy reading. Here they are:


The Stroller Ballet 
Of Mice and Ramen
Faithfully Frugal and Free


This past week I was given two new awards.  I am not procrastinating this time. I am learning. Consider this  my attempt at working on keeping the New Year's Resolution that I didn't make.  
 
I received this award from Turning the Clock Back last week.  If you haven't checked out her blog yet please head over there.  She has lots of great information about how we can take be more eco-friendly in our day to day lives.
Here are the rules:
Put the logo on your blog or within your post,
Pass the award onto 12 bloggers,
Link the nominees within your post,
Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
Da...da...da..dada... da...the bloggers I am passing this award on to are :



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:


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????
