My first Award....Yay!!


Yay...I was given my first award! Renee over at My Glimpse of Life gave me a creative award for my Homemade candle shop! Thank you so much Renee! Here are the rules that I was given:

*Mention the blog that gave you the reward and comment on there blog to let them know that you have posted there award. You also have to list 6 things you VALUE and 6 things you Don't VALUE. Lastly, you have to pass the award onto 6 other friends!



So here it goes...6 things that I Value:


1. God and my faith in him.

2. My husband Randy. He is a blessing. I love him so much, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with him!

3. My three kids. They are my world!

4. My family. My mom, dad, sister and brother in law mean everything to me. And my in laws...I cannot forget them too...I so love them and I am so blessed to have them!

5. The friendships that I have. I admit that for whatever reason...I don't have to many...but the one's I do have are very, very special and valuable to me!

6. Friendly people. I really value courteous friendly people. It's so nice when you walk by and a stranger just smiles. A smile can change someones day!

Six thing's that I DO NOT value:

1. Abortions

2. People who take there insecurities out on others.

3. Prejudice

4. Cancer

5. Money...I hate how everything seems to come down to money. For me..more time with my husband=More money to do so...i hate that.

6. Materialistic people. There are things that I like to have...but I am talking about the people who base there entire existence on fancy cars and name brand crap. People who value "things" more than anything else....man i cannot stand that! They have no clue...it's sad really.

Okay so now to pass this on to SIX people!! Here is my list:

1. French...because she is such a creative writer. I adore reading her blog. Check it out, you will too!

2. Cherry...just because that girl is wicked creative...oh my gosh, she is just amazing!

3. Rue at the peanutbutterandjellylife. She is an amazing decorator. I love visiting her blog!

4. Lurenda at Averytales. This new friend of mine inspires me EVERY day...Seriously...everyday!

5. Heather at sugar n spice. I just love reading her posts...kinda like my blog..they are random day to day ramblings (i mean that in a good way Heather!). I enjoy them very much!

6. Sandy at Sandy's creations. She is so funny! I love reading her blog! She takes amazing pictures and she is incredibly creative!

Have a wonderful day everyone! Don't forget to smile...it really does have the power to change someone's day!

Congrats on your award. We would have given you a well deserved award ourselves but we are BAD at it. We have two to pick up and don't know how to get them home to pass them on. I know it sounds so simple but we have tried and maybe it's my computer I don't know. Hopefully we will try again this weekend. You do have a fun and interesting blog.
