My first award! Woot-woot!



Photobucket


My very first award! Thanks so much to Just Me @
Snickerdoodles for my gorgeous award and for making this woman giddy with excitement to receive it!

Isn't it a beauty?? I happen to be {{madly in love}} with two kinds of patterns, Damask and Toile. So, imagine my ooooh's and aaaahhhh's when I seen it.

Besides hanging this oh-so-beautiful-award up in my blog, the receiver of this award must list 6 things that make them happy.

My happy things list:

1) My hubby. We met before I was able to drive. As a teen, I used to write Mrs. Jennifer K**** over and over again in my journal while sitting in my bunkbed dreaming of marrying this hunk of burning love. It's still a bit embarassing when my Mom brings this up. (Especially, in front of hubby.) I usually say- No, I did not, Mom. *eye roll* But, I so did. {{chuckle}} Half of my life I've loved him, and I pan to the rest of it.

2) My kids. I can sum up the gianormous feelings of love for my kids in four words: My cup runneth over. They are my life, my loves, my everything. I hope they will always know how much I love them.

3)My pooch, Daisy. My old girl as I call her now, she just turned 12 in September and I can see the grey around her eyes and mouth. The cataracts has invaded her eyes, but I still see that stunningly gorgeous, energetic pup that I remember snuggling up next to at night. She's made my life more beautiful than I can imagine.


4)Coffee. What is this love I have for the dark, bitter stuff? {{smile}} It's my warmth on a cold winter evening. It's my relaxation when I need a rest. It's my reason for buying those fancy scrolled coffee cups from Marshall's recently, and it's my beverage of choice all day, anyday. {{sipping some warm java}} Ahhh...

5) Period movies. Just to name a few.. Pride and Prejudice (of course, see fridays post), Sense and Sensiblity, Becoming Jane, Emma, Vanity Fair, Elizabeth, Wives and Daughters. These movies make me happy. I like to snuggle up with a blanket and be swept away.

6) My home. When we were in our first home, I bought things to fill it. In this home, I'm surrounded by only the things I love- I never buy anything for it that I don't truly adore. I feel so safe here. {{smile}}

Now it's time to pass the award on:

1)Steph @ The flies blend
2)Emily @ little momma and company
3)Willow @ Willow Manor
4)Jen @ The fun house
5)Jennifer @ The Wilson Six
6)Jenny @ Daily Dose of Motherhood

Thanks for the inspiring blogs, I love reading them!
