I was so excited and pleased to find out that my friend Carol over at http://charliandme.blogspot.com/ had given me this cool award! Thank you, Carol! Of course, I would like to send the award right back to you because you have a wonderful blog filled with stories of tea and tea parties, Charli, family, friends and your beautiful yard and gardens.

The rules for excepting this award are as follows:

1. Put the logo on your blog.

2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.

3. Nominate seven other blogs.

4. Add links to those blogs on your blog.

5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

This becomes the most difficult part of receiving an award for me. How do I chose seven blog's out of all of the wonderful blog's I visit?

Since I can only pick seven then here goes.....

1. Maggie over at http://1901house.blogspot.com/ She has pictures and how-to's on restoring her home, such lovely flowers and the cutest little dog....

2. Nate over at http://fargo1928.blogspot.com/ He is a wonderful young man who started out fixing up a house and ended up with the excitement of going to New York to become a model.

3. Jayne over at http://daintydigs.blogspot.com/ She is a whirlwind with those shingles! She is smart, hard-working and she makes me laugh!

4. Miss Kitty over at http://educatedandpoor.blogspot.com/ She is in education and is still sane! She has lovely Myrtle Mae and all those lovely kittehs!!

5. Sandi over at http://sandimcbride.blogspot.com/ She has a wonderful spot! And there's Pye (who's running for Prezzydent) and the lovely MindyLou (who's running for Veep) and canning instructions....

6. Maryam over at http://moroccanmaryam.typepad.com/about.html She has the most DIVINE blog. Beautiful pictures. So many wonderful, interesting things to say... and

7. Deanne over at http://sushizume.com/ She is a delightful young lady that is a master at hooping. She teaches hooping, has a cool spot called TokyoMade, and her blog is a delight to read. And it all started with just one hula hoop!

I am hoping that you all enjoy your award. I really enjoy reading all of your blogs!
