{versatile blogger award & one lovely blog award}

am totally honored to have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Amber over at The Usual Bliss AND the One Lovely Blog Award by Rachel over at Rachel’s Table! The whole blogging world/community is so vast.  I honestly feel overwhelmed by all the great blogs that I want to read, follow, and to be inspired by; and similar to other social media platforms, I find myself wondering how much you can actually connect to someone or if  some sort of real connection is actually possible?  But recently, as I dove deeper into this cyber-world, I have found that there is so much richness in the connections that I have made here.  It brings a huge smile on my face to think of the great people I have met here.  I look forward to what the future holds and who I’ll connect with next.  Thank you so much Amber!  I am truly touched.

Because I was nominated for there a few things I need to do on my part:

•  Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
•  Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
•  Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. { I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!}
•  Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
•  Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

I don’t follow many more blogs right now, but I know there are many more out there that are totally awesome!

Some tidbits about me:

1} I often get so excited about pretty things {like home decor items, artwork, cool craft projects, photos, etc} that I literally will squeal, jump around, and clap/grasp my hands.

2} I do the same for organization and crossing things off of my to-do list.

3} I am a drama queen- through and through.

4} Expressing my creative self through photos and writing brings me true peace.

5} To receive words of encouragement {especially in handwritten letters} and random little gifts touches my heart the most

6} Right now one of my biggest desires is no longer be a nervous-nelly-nail-biter.

7} I would love to better produce & create things like I see them in my mind.
