awarded.

Over the weekend I received three blog awards, one from Sam, Lex and Julia.  Along with blog awards come lots of lists, and I’m not feeling particularly inspired to write anything about myself, so instead I thought I’d make a list of some of my favorite blog friends, and award them my own made up award.

I hope the fact that I completely made up this award does not detract from its meaningfulness.  If it does, I’m sorry.  It’s the thought that counts, right?  So… here it is:   (P.S.  I’m choosing 11 bloggers, simply because all these other awards do 10, and since I made the award up, I can do whatever the heck I want, so I am.)

11 Bloggers I heart are:
*Chloe from Sean ♥ Chloe.  You always make me laugh, and you always leave the most encouraging little comments.  I heart you honorary sister-in-law.
*Sam from Simply Sam.  I love reading about your travels and your everyday adventures.  Plus… even if I write something lame and boring I know you’ll always be there as my most faithful commenter :).
*Kassi from Bacwoods Fern.  You are beautiful inside and out.  Your craftiness astounds me.  I’m glad we’re friends.
*Mica from My happily ever after.  You are so sweet.  I love reading all your delicious food posts.  You and your boyfriend are serious foodies.
*Julia from The world is my oyster.  I love looking at your Italy pictures.  Maybe one day I will be brave and move there like you did.  I also love that you love helping people.  It makes me happy.
*Katie from Notes from a very red kitchen.  I am impressed with how you possibly find time to craft while dealing with a newborn.  It’s kind of incredible.
*Stacey from Bohemian Chic.  I like reading about your adventures around Portland.  You make me jealous that I live in the suburbs and not downtown.
*B & K from Mucho Mucho Beuno Bueno.  You make me happy, and make me wish I lived in sunny California as a surf bum instead of in the freezing Oregon rain.  Your projects are amazing and you guys have great hair.
*Danielle from Sometimes Sweet.  You make me wish I was back in high school to have such a fashionable/cool teacher.  It’s kind of ridiculous how adorable you are.
*Amanda from The Newelly Weds.  Adorable.  You always come up with the cutest decor ideas.

*Lex from Cupcake Sniper.  I love reading your posts about inner beauty, and I love that you’re real with your readers.  PLUS…you do some pretty rad hair & make-up tutorials.  No lie.  I did the hair tutorial and got about a million compliments.

Basically, if I follow your blog I heart it, but I thought writing more than 11 blogs might be a bit excessive, you know?  Please don’t feel left out.  Just think….if I left you out, then you can be thankful you don’t have to make a list!  Or…you can always take the award and pass it on anyway.  Spread it like wildfire.  We all need a little happiness boost in our day.  If I did give you an award, feel free to pass it on to whoever you wish… you can choose 10 people…or more….or less.  Whatever.
