Aww, gee, you shouldn't have...

Betty from Keeper of the Skies has given me this sweet award. Don't you love it? Aww, don't be jealous. I'm planning on spreading the love, too. God knows we all need as much love as we get these days! Thank you so much, Betty. I am humbled and honored. And basking in the glow of getting a blog award :)

Now it's my turn. I've had these blogs listed on my blogroll for awhile, and it's going to be really hard to pick only 7. But I feel like these women are my friends, people I "talk" to with comment love, people whose lives I peek in on everyday (hey, if you didn't want me to see in the window, you should have closed the blinds).

Here's the rules:

1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.

2. Link the person you received your award from.

3. Nominate up to 7 other blogs.

4. Put links of those blogs on yours.

5. Leave a message on the blogs of the people you’ve nominated.

Pretty easy, huh? So here goes:

1. Lulaville (can't wait 'til November, for so many reasons!)

2. Three Little Indians (you'll always be my first blog love, Jennifer)

3. HiHoOhio (Catherine, my first real life blog friend)

4. Mindless Junque and The R Family Diaries (without Heather and Tiffany, there would be no SITS love and the world would stop turning, the end.)

5. Buried with Children (Jen, any woman who works, has triplets plus a preschooler and still finds time to blog is my hero)

6. Just Us (Elizabeth and her little family is just too stinkin' cute; her "Shades of Summer" idea was awesome; she's called the Scrapbooker of the Year for a reason, folks)

7. The Painted House (Angela's talents are vast, her kids are adorable, and her husband beat cancer this year!)

There are a few more blogs that I love, but I'm limited to seven today. Check out my blogroll to the right...you won't be disappointed. Now, girls, go on and spread some more love to get us through this three-day weekend (what? The kids don't have school on Monday? Aww, man...I was getting used to this school stuff!)
