We arrived back late last night from our trip to Asheville, NC. My hubby had a meat conference there and I went along with the kids to “play”. I’ll share more about our trip and happenings with pictures once I get a minute to unpack.

In the meantime, a special THANK YOU to Katie McCurdy for awarding me the “One Lovely Blog Award”

The rules to accept this award are as follows and according to Katie are mandatory in order to receive it! So here we go!

Rule #1 - Tell 7 facts about yourself
Rule #2 - Pass the award on to 5 “lovely blogs” (Actually the award said 15, but I’m going to cheat and only do five. Makes it that much more special)

So here are 7 random facts about myself.

1. I have been a bridesmaid in 2 weddings on the same day
2. I have read 3 books in one day
3. I was homeschooled from 2nd grade through high school and loved it!
4. I read magazines from back to front
5. I’m scared of deep water where I can’t see the bottom
6. I’m allergic to chicken (except for the chicken we have raised here on our farm)
7. It was love-at-first sight for me when I first met my hubby.

Now to pass this Lovely Blog Award onto 5 people! These are awarded in no particular order.

• Cathy at Thoughts on Books – A very pretty blog. Feels like I’ve just stepped back in time.
• Carrie Pagels at Overcoming Through Time- I love the scroll look on her header. Her blog is so peaceful.
• EllaJac at her blog Aspiring to Simplicity. She has the prettiest sunset picture for her header. Love it!
• Jackie Layton at Back Porch Reflections. It’s simple and sweet. The pink leaves you with a down home feeling. Love it!
• Sarah Sawyer writes fantasy and I love how her blog reflects that feel. Stop by and you’ll see what I mean.

Congrats on your blog designs! Now pass this on and share the love.
