Stylish Blogger Award!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Emily @ LaForceBeWithYou honored us with a Stylish Blogger award!

We are so thrilled that someone other than our good friends/family reads us enough to give us an award. So, thank you Emily. And by the way, run don't walk click quickly and check out her Burlap Wreath. SO cute!

Okay, so the award comes with these 4 rules:

1. Thank and link back to the blogger who awarded you with the award
2. Share 7 Things about yourself
3. Award 8 recently discovered great bloggers
4. Contact the bloggers and inform them of the award

Here goes on the 7 things. Keep in mind there are 3 of us who tend to this blog. I am taking the liberty of sharing 7 things about us and I'm crossing my fingers they don't hate me for it.

1. 2 of us love to run-Flann & Court

2. 2 of us love to eat too much-Flann & Court

3. 1 of us is an oncology nurse who administers chemo and is an *amazing* caretaker-Mols

4. 1 of us hates our own hair-Flann

5. 1 of us has the most amazingly spotless house which is so unfair-Mols

6. 1 of us is Mommy to all of us (kiddos included)-Court or "Mommy Courtenay"

7. All 3 of us admit that our relationships together are never perfect and sometimes we fight (BIG and small) but we love each other to pieces and would do just about anything for each other.

And now.....drumroll......we are forwarding this award on to:

1. Lemon Tree Creations--I don't know if they count as "recently discovered" but they are recently discovered to us and we love them! Molly and I have been emailing links back and forth for potential projects specifically their PILLOWS!

2. Vintage Sheet Blog--Because we love all things vintage and well, how can you not love someone who quilts with vintage sheets?

3. Just Another Day in Paradise--Just recently stumbled across her after I saw the tutorial for her Dapper Little Man Bow Tie Tutorial. Need I say more?

4. Lizard Rae Rambles is a *very* good friend of ours and only blogs sporadically but when she does, we love it. She's hilarious and she's super crafty. And we love her photos. And we want her to move in with us and make us these little red velvet cakes. Leah, consider this our encouragement to keep blogging!

5. The Painted Hive-I love looking at her blog and everyday I look in my feed and hope for another post. I love her bright, airy house particularly her living room and it serves as inspiration for my own house.

6. Meet the Dubiens-I can't help myself. She makes me want to put my laptop down and CRAFT with my children. I love her projects and her photos are out of this world!

7. Two Carolina Nesters is another one where I just love their sense of style--both in their home and on their blog. It is so serene. And I love that fact that it's a mother/daughter duo. What fun!

8. Classy Columbus Designs--We loved her modern pillow that she did! We found her after linking up to her Wine Linky party. Seriously, it's like she thinks we like happy hour or something;).

I hope you all are able to pay the award forward (though it is not for the faint at heart--took me 2 weeks to do this!! But without a doubt, it feels so good to receive it!

THANK YOU!

Paying it Forward....

Thank you Tracie @ Cleverly Inspired for honoring us by giving us the....

What an honor coming from one of the most crafty DIY ladies in the blogosphere!!!  

Here's how it works:

--Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award

--Award 3 deserving Bloggers and share how they inspire you

--Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award

So, with that said, we pay it forward to.....

1. A Bowl Full of Lemons is one of our new favorite blogs.  What we love about her is that she views every spot in the house as having potential to be: 1) useful and 2) attractive.  With her inspiring us, even underneath the sink can be a pleasant and efficient use of space!

2. Vintage Pollyanna always has a fresh, vintage-y take on things whether it be her crafts, sewing or baking.  A lot of what we love about her doesn't always show up on her blog (aka, the most perfect invitations she made for Mary Larkin's third birthday) so we can't wait for the blogosphere to see more of what she's capable!  

3.  Waking Lucia is an inspiration to all of us!  If you read her story on her blog (go do it-its worth it), she forced herself into creating and d-i-ying after having her first baby.  She felt the need to make something of herself, something out of the ordinary.  And she has--one of her tutes she took a ring pop, took the candy off and created a pin cushion ring!  Keep up the good work and thank you for being one of our biggest supporters.

Alright ladies, go and pay it forward!
