Blog Awards!

Whooo! Hooo! I was recently awarded two blog awards on the same day!

The "Sunshine Award" was handed over from the lovely Weezi!

And the "You're Going Places, Baby" award came from the fashionable Deconstructed Life!

A big blushing thank you goes out to you both and through these awards I was introduced to two fabulous blogs! A treat in itself!

Since these awards arrived at the same time, I am combining them into one with the following rules:

*Choose the award logo you like the best. Include it in your post.

*Pass the award on to 10 bloggers that inspire you in that post with links.

*Of course, let them know!

*And don't forget to link back to who your received the award from. Oh, that would be me!

My inspiring 10 are.....

Millie Deel

Fabulous Finds

Oranges and Apples

Retro Chick

Silver Screen Dream

Straight Talking Mama!

Sewing is Hard

Adore Vintage

Spokes 'n' Daggers

A Knitter from the Past

Congratulations all!!! You will also be added to my blog roll!
