I love awards, and it made my day to receive a nomination from one of my new blogger friends, Cafe Casey. I have a whole lot of respect for Casey because she teaches high school students and seems to do it with humor!
There are some rules that go with the nomination:
- Thank the blogger who nominated you with a link to the site. (see above)
- Write seven things about yourself that other bloggers don’t know.
- Nominate fifteen other deserving blogs.
Seven things about myself:
- I learned to sew just so I could make a Jedi robe for my son that I saw on Pinterest.
- I love party dips of any kind and am happy to treat them like a meal.
- Even though I like cooking, snacks, etc., I do not like to pack school lunches.
- I think everything looks better with a monogram on it.
- I only do laundry on Sundays.
- I have a subscription to US magazine and am disappointed when it is not in my mailbox on Thursdays.
- I spend months thinking about my Christmas cards. Receiving Christmas cards (with family photos) is my favorite part of the holidays.
