My First Award!

Honestly, where are my manners?? I can't believe I let this go for SO long- please excuse my rudeness!! A few weeks ago, I received notification from Shannon at One Crafty Mommy (adorable blog, by the way) that I WON this:

Seriously??! I am SO excited. The more I blog, the more I feel like I am the lucky neighbor who has moved into the BEST, most supportive, funnest (yes I actually used that word) neighborhood ever. Lucky me! So, thank you very much Shannon, you are so sweet and I am sorry it took me so long to acknowledge this award.

The rules for accepting this award are:

1.Thank (and link to) the person that gave you the award

2.Pass this award on to 15 bloggers you've recently discovered & whom you think are fantastic

3.Contact said Blogs to let them know they've won

4.State 7 Things about yourself!

I wish I could give this to EVERY blog I read on a daily basis, but I guess I will follow the rules for now... and if you see your name and already got this award, just smile, pat yourself on the back and say "I am good!"

1. I don't drink coffee. (Just don't like it!)

2. My Mom and Aunt Sue are my biggest inspirations.

3. We (mom, Aunt, cousin, with the help of other key people) made almost everything for my wedding. We did all the invites, cakes, table toppers, programs, flowers, and favors ourselves. It was hard work, but also really fun. In fact, check back soon for Wedding Week, when I feature something we did each day. :o)

4. I am addicted to popcorn. It really is my favorite snack!
