√ Kreative Blogger Award


√ 1. Kreative Blogger AwardI'm never quite sure what to say when I receive an award on my blog. After I've thanked the givers, I'm always at a loss for words as to what to say to the rest of my audience. It's almost like being up on stage, looking out into the crowd and going completely blank!

So, before I completely crap out on you, I'd like to say thanks to the two bloggers who so kindly bestowed this award on my blog: Lenox Knits and Life in the Zu. It's so great to be recognized by others who know what it takes, and they say "you're doing great!" What's even better about these ladies is that they are both in the fiber arts and so they have a better idea than anyone what I do. Thanks ladies.





The rules for the award were different on each of the blogs that I received it, so I'm going to improvise.

1) List 5 things that you're thankful for
2) Pass the award along to the same number of people

Things I'm thankful for:
- Being unemployed and having more time to spend with my son, hubby and working on changing my professional direction
- Being healthy
- Having wonderful family on both sides (mine and hubby's)
- The ability to continue in our trajectory, despite my unemployment status
- A fabulous online community

I now pass this award on to the following fabulous bloggers!
- Steam Punk Rings
- Biku Designs
- Indie Sista's
- You*niquely Chic
- Always Amy

Congratulations bloggers!

√ Award & Contest


√
1. Award & ContestYesterday was an amazing day! I reached 600 "Likes" on my Facebook Page and I got an award out of the clear blue! I decided that today, we'd interrupt our regularly scheduled programing to say a HUGE thank you to Lynette over at Sweet Posy Dreams for bestowing upon me the "Versatile Blogger Award"! It's nice to know that there are those who come by often enough to be entertained by my "lack of focus" which is this blog. I actually think that focus is sometimes overrated. ;-) Lynette's blog is full of interesting stories and I love that she comes by and comments here all the time.

I'm also going to have a contest to celebrate my 600th "Like" But first...
I am going to pass this award on to 15 bloggers, but before I do, I have to tell you the rules:
  1. Thank the person that nominated you, and give a shout out on your blog to them with a link to theirs.
  2. Share 7 random facts about yourself.
  3. Send the blog award to 15 other bloggers who's blog you love and appreciate, and let them know they won the award.
So now let's get to the 7 random facts about me:
1.  I am a first generation Haitian-American born in the U.S.
2.  In high school I wanted to be a Pediatrician (I think it just sounded good when asked "the" question)
3.  I will eat anything made with potatoes
4.  I love decorating and DIY projects
5.  My favorite quote is "for everything there is a time and a season under the sun..."
6.  One of my favorite books is "Go-Givers Sell More"
7.  I have a HUGE extended family that keeps me grounded
