I got an award!!!!! I got an award!!!!

Tina at Jetihoja Academy gave me this blog award. I am still blushing (even though it has been a week since she gave it to me and I am just getting around to posting it)!

Now I have to pick 5 blogs to award with this honor. But first I would like to recognize what I love about your blog, Tina. Let's see.....

1. Your weekly reports are awesome! I love looking at what your kids did all week. It sets a bar for me.
2. Your lapbook enthusiasm! It actually has me starting up lapbooking again.
3. Your dedication to Atelier. Based mostly on your rave reviews of it, I purchased this and we could not be happier. I also plan on participating in Sketch Tuesday because of you.
4. Your kids are so stinking cute!
5. And you are so sweet IRL!

Onto my 5 picks.......drum roll please...........

• Laura at Laura (and Calvin and Hobbes): China to Scottland
• Jenny over at Bits of Grey Matter
• Kathy at Calypsis
• Maggie at Remember to Breathe
• Geek Herder over at Oops, Wrong Planet

Why do I heart these bloggers? Because they are all really cool people outside of the blogging world. I respect their opinions and views on the various topics they blog about and on the dialogues we exchange. I enjoy their friendships as they are friends IRL; only one through email contact but only because she lives across the pond. I hope you enjoy their blogs as much as I do.
