And the Stylish Blogger Award goes to…

I often see other bloggers doing things like blog challenges, link-ups, and awards – but I have never been invited to do any of the above – until now! My friend Lesley-Anne recently gave me my first blog award, the Stylish Blogger Award. Thanks so much Mrs. Fenton!

So here’s the rules to the challenge:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!


7 things about myself:

  1. I live in North Face jackets. I have a black one on now. In about 90% of photos of me in the wintertime, you will find me in either my first blue North Face, my 2nd one, which was brown, or my current one which is black. I think eventually I will run out of color options!
  2. I love doing crafts- and always have. When I was younger, I made my own candles, jewelry, handmade soap for my friends and relatives as a Christmas present, and even learned how to cross-stitch! Now, I am transferring my love of crafts to DIY home decor! 
  3. I’m addicted to Diet Coke. I have tried to quit many times and haven’t yet succeeded!
  4. I have the same breakfast everyday. Nature Valley Fruit & Nut Granola bars. 
  5. I played the piano for 13 years as a kid. I still like playing every now and then. It is one of my New Year’s Resolutions to play it more often. 
  6. I just read my favorite book of all time over Christmas break. It is called the Heavenly Man and is about a Chinese Missionary. That book totally changed my life and I highly recommend it. 
  7. I have three adopted siblings (ages 6, 7, & 11). They have taught me so much and I love them to pieces!

Here are some of my (recently discovered) blogs I picked to pass on the Stylish Blog Award. These are all great- some of them are people I know, some aren’t – but all feature great reading material and tons of great ideas! 

  1. My sis Kristen at Photographs and Letters
  2. My mom Karla at Living the Dream
  3. Angelyn at Angelyn’s Rambelyns
  4. Valerie at Until Tomorrow, Val
  5. Vikki at V. Dub im Haus
  6. Kristina at Altogether Beautiful
  7. Jessica at Jacob and Jessica
  8. Erin at Forever Summer
  9. MaryBeth at In the Middle 
  10. Mollyanne at The Gurleys
  11. Jessie at The Ransoms
  12. Becca at The Stanley Clan
  13. Lisa at Beginning the Journey
  14. Erika at Something Beautiful
  15. Julie at The Smitten Mintons

Whew! That was tough! A lot I had to leave off of that list. But I can assure you, if you are ever bored, or sick of watching TV, these ladies are sure to entertain you!

  2. Laura! Your blog is precious — can't wait to read along!
