Playing Catch-Up...

I have been so busy getting ready for Christmas that I have let the blogging world go for a while.  Now... I must play catch-up.

I have received a few awards:

I received this award a few weeks ago on my cousins blog!! Thank you for the honor.

Now the rules...only 5 people for the award. 4 of them need to be dedicated followers of your blog and the 5th one has to be new and live in another state or part of the country. You have to link back to who gave you the award.

My cousin Elise gave me the award, but she is private so I will not bother with linking to hers. 

Here are some of my blogging friends forever:

Tara Laudie:  She got me started with it all.  I am thankful for all she has taught me.  She helped me discover a few of my favorite hobbies, and she is fun to be around. Love you, miss you.

Christal Forred:  One of my dear Kansas friends. I am so thankful you started a blog so I can keep in touch with you.

Shannon Rolfe:  This is one of my closest friends from the Caribbean.  Her husband is also doing his residency.  We lived together in the Caribbean, and Kansas;  now we live far apart.  I am grateful for blogging so we can keep in touch.

Stephanie Austin:  This is one of my dearest friends from my Utah days.  I sure miss her.  We were scrapbook buddies, and that helped us become life long friends.

And the award for newest out of state blogger goes too:

Leila Cahill:  I met Leila through blogging.  I am so thankful that I did, because she has touched my life.
