Paying It Forward

Update:  Imagine my surprise when I saw that I'd received another lovely award yesterday!

Thank you Michelle from All Home Cooking. All Year Long  for thinking of me. Truly, I am so honored. I thought I'd combine it wit this post because I'm going to admit up front that I'm going to cheat a bit. This award asks us to post 7 things about ourselves and since I'd just done this and am not that interesting really, they're all on the list below!  The guidelines for accepting this award are...

• Thank the person/people who gave it to you.
• Tell 7 things yourself.
• Pass the award on to 15 bloggers, whom you have recently discovered, and think are fantastic.

So I am passing this award on to:

1. Calamity Anne's Adventures
2. Charm Bracelet Diva
3. Chic on A Shoestring Decorating
4. Christine & Co
5. Crafts & Sutch
6. I Been Thinkin' 'Bout Inkin

If you've never seen the movie of the same name or are unfamiliar with the term, simply put it's like a future propelled "Golden Rule". You do nice things for other people and they do the same to others, thus, paying it forward. Dawn K from  The Way I See Things surprised and blew me away by presenting me with two awards!
