One Lovely Blog

-
I am so honored! I have actually been saying the word 'Lovely' quite a bit lately, so when I was awarded this 'One Lovely Blog Award' I was thrilled. It was, well, lovely!

Thanks to Sunfire, and her quite lovely blog The Dragon's Breath, I have been told I have one lovely blog myself.

The rules of the blog include thanking the person who passed it to you, sharing their link and the award image, listing 7 things about yourself, then nominating up to 15 other bloggers who deserve the award.

The 7 things about me, that isn't so tough.

For starters,
-first, I am a proud mother of three wonderful children.
-Second, I am happily married to my best friend, and
-third, we are about to celebrate our (gasp) 19th anniversary.
-Fourth, I just opened my own shop, called Blue Rage of Asheville, where I am happy to share my passions and interested with anyone who comes in.
-Fifth thing about me is I am happy to feature locally produced and handmade creations right alongside vintage treasures.
-Sixth - I have recently started running - well run slash walking. I was never a runner, so I surprised myself and am now well on the road to getting in shape.

Now for the most difficult task of pick 15 other bloggers - that it nuts. I barely have time to read my own musing yet alone 15 other bloggers. Add to that several who I would have picked have already WON this award! What's a girl to do?
-Well, I cannot lie (that is tidbit number 7 about me)
so I will not nominate someone who I do not thing is worthy, so even though some of these fine bloggers may have this award already, I find their blogs totally lovely.

1. Every Day Inspired
2. Eight Six Eleven
3. Bonita Rose, Life. Love. Color. Art a life unrehearsed
4. All Things Tangled
5. A Writer Weaves A Tale
6. Krafty Max Originals
7. BreitWerk Buzz
8. Gerushia's New World
9. Rhonda Lee Carver Blog
(warning, this one is a little risque! but it's good to be a little naughty sometimes.)
10. Lady Jane's Pillow Book
11. Handmade Fuzzy
12. The Stuff of Success
13. Bluejules Sews
14. Miss Steps and Milestones
15. The Garden of Eating

Phew! That was tough. I realized that I haven't had the time much lately to read these lovely blogs, and with NaBloWriMo full on now, I certainly have my hands full. With writing AND reading.

But that is what blogging is all about. Challenging me to write, read, and appreciate each step of the way.
So please check out these fine writers, show them some love, and I bet you will find a few that you just have to start following.......

Enjoy!

    Yay! Glad you decided to play along - and yes, it is totally cool to nominate someone that already got it. Who knows, if they get the award from more than one blogger, it might mean a little bit more to them...

    thank you Rebecca!!! I had the honor to receive this award already and it makes me blush that you would pass this one on to me.
    Take time for yourself a little, so you don't drown while taking care of everyone else!!! Miss you being around.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Toekini Anyone? It's GIVEAWAY time!

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
