What a Pleasure!

What a wonderful suprise!

Last week I was given the Liebster Award by Jill over at I Know The Plans I Have For You. This really made my day. I'm sure there are others out there like myself that wander away from their blog every once in a awhile...and to be aknowledged by another super talented person, is a great feeling!
The word Liebster is a german word meaning "favorite" and the award is designed to recognize and promote blogs that have less than 200 followers, aaaaaaaand there's 5 rules that go along with it:
1 Thank the person that gave it to you. Thanks a Buch Jill!
2 Link back to their blog
3 Put the award in your blog
4 Present the award to 3-5 blogs with less than 200 followers
5 Leave a comment to let those blogs know that you've recognized their awesomeness!
Here are a few blogs I am enjoying right now, and I feel deserve this award...Check em out and show some love!
Twice Nice
Tattered to Flattered
Smithy's Painted Furniture

Oh Em Gee! 100 Followers! {and} an Award!

Unfortunatley I have a day job...ugh I know. So yesterday I'm at work, really don't want to be there. Customers are grumpy, making my night crappier and crappier. I take my 10 min break and while I'm chillin enjoying the peace and quiet I check my emails, and there was just 1 from Brooke at All Things Thrify. And can I add that my mood changed completely...My night got way less crappy! She said she stumbled upon my blog and loved it {awwww schucks} and that she was giving me an award.

I had clue how awesome this award is, until I ran through the past recipients of said award...and HOLY COW! I am in Amazing company!
Thank you Brooke...and I went to sleep with 92 followers, and woke up with 102! WOAH! Super Excited today...now I need to think of something special to do...kind of a giveaway of sorts! I'll letcha all know whats up with that soon!
Thank you all so much for hanging out and showing some love with all of your awesome comments...I love to read them all!
Have a Lovely Day all!

"Happy" Passed on!

Where in the heck do I start? Angie! yeah over at Treasures recieved this award....which was well deserved, She rocks! Well she passed this award over to lil ol me.
I am super happy! And here goes for the top 10 things that make me happy.

1
My Boys!
Trevor (6)
Dramatic.
Everything is a dire emergency...everything he gets into he gets super into, his mind and potential is amazing!
Brody (20mo)
Real.
He hasn't been shall I say tainted...so every look/expression he makes is so pure and innocent! I really wish I could make faces with him all day, every day!
They are both extreme. When they are Happy they are REALLY overly happy. When they are ornery they are REALLY overly ornery!
Those are my boys!

2
Kreative Knack
This blog has allowed me to breathe. Really though, I have finally found it ok to have "me" time. A few times a day, I come to my desk and breathe. I create and share. And find that I have blog friends...who are super supportive. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Really!

3
Music
I'm that crazy lady you see in the lane next to you "Rocking Out!" Sublime is my favorite...the feel of the beat, and the tone of the words gets to me. Oh and nope, I'm not a pot head. lol just like the reggae beats. they are great for road rage.

4
The Sun
Just sitting or laying in its rays are a blessing. The warmth shining on me goes down to my core. I love that feeling.

5
Shopping
Let me rephrase that...Bargain Shopping. But honestly I like to do it alone, so all the ideas in my head can bounce around freely, and I can walk by the same thing over and over again, before I decide..." ugh thats is soooo not worth that price" and I don't have to worry about anyone else, just what I'm going to do with a dinged up, paint peeling off, wax all over candle stick. :)

6
Rain
The smell on the hot ground.
I just want to run out and do cartwheels, and twirlies in it!

7
Skittles
Original
Red ones
enough said
8
Jeans
I am a t shirt and jeans girl. I aspire to be more...but my roots come out eveytime. Something about being in an incredibly comfy pair of jeans, I just love!
9
Silly
yep being silly with my boys. Sometimes I talk with funny accents, and joke alot. Just to hear my oldest son say " mom! stop I'm gonna pee my pants" ah ha ha...I got that Perma-Smile going on!
10
Family
Something about knowing your not alone. I may feel alone sometimes, but I'm really not!

Ahhhh that was cool! Being a mom, wife, cook, working full time, soccer mom, chauffeur, teacher,trampoline (yep)...and other things I would much not mention...this post is rated G...or atleast PG. I really don't have time to think about Happy Stuff. I think thats where the saying comes in...
"Stop and Smell the Roses"
Question?
Can mine be tulips?
I love tulips.

So now to pass this awesome eye opening happy award on! I have to choose 5 right? k.
Well I really want to send ib back to Angie...but then the poor thing would have to do hers all over again... So you gotta know I love ya girl, but I just can't do it to ya!

The ladies I would like to pass this award to are,

Kate at Centsational Girl. Because of her choices in design and use of color. Her DIY projects are truly inspiring to me. I have yet to try any of them...call it cold feet, or just bad timing...but I will, promise.

Alison at House of Hepworths "HoH" . She is definately creative, she transforms ordinary things into super pretty decor. She has been recognized for her ingenuity before, so whats one more :)

Amanda at MOTB. I love reading her rantings, and ravings about being a mother and wife. and the playroom, she did for her boys is Awesome!

Alicia at Thrify and Chic. Because She is super elegant. And very talented with her decor tastes. Oh and thats were I saw the wonderful books I recovered yesturday! Yay! Shes great!

Denise at Copy Cat Creations. I just found her and I love her. I want to urge her to do some more projects. I want to see more of that talent! Just check her out.

I hope everyone has enjoyed this as much as myself! Thanks again Angie!
