I'm going to try to turn over a new leaf!

I'm going garage saleing, saling, salein'. Is that even a word? Spell check isn't buying it. Anyway, I'm going to hit some garage sales today. The neighborhood, in walking distance, is having their annual "neighborhood" garage sale today. Oh the treasures one might find.
Yesterday I was in Dollar General, just because, and like a bug to a light, I headed right toward the Christmas stuff. Did I mention before that I don't need any more Christmas stuff? Because I really don't. But you'd be proud of me. I only left with a sheet of Christmas stickers to put on envelopes ($1.00) and 3 cans of pumpkin (because they were actually cheaper than Wally World).


But that's not the leaf I'm turning over. No, I received an award today and instead of saving it and totally forgetting about it until it's way to late (like I've done it the past and I'm sorry!), I'm going to accept it today. Right now. This VERY minute. So here it goes!

Mel From Heart Prints honored me with this award. She herself has a nice mish mash of things going on over at her blog. It's always a good read.


This award is called "A Strong Cup of Coffee" and is given to your favorite blogs that help to get you going in the morning and keep you going all day.:) You know the ones.....you just keep going back to them over and over because of how wonderful they are. Now it's my turn to pass it on to 7 blogs that I enjoy reading, blogs that "keep me going."

Now here's the tricky part. Don't get upset if I give this award to you because you're sick of getting them and don't get mad if I don't. LOL See I already feel like it's a lose lose situation for me. But I'm doing it anyway. The rebel in me tells me too! So here's my list of blogs that I daily fit in no matter how busy I am!
In no particular order except for the way they pop into my brain, we have

Stop and Smell The Chocolates
Blessed Beyond Imagination
Mom's the Word
Muthering Heights
He & Me + 3
Clothed with Scarlet
Faithful Bloggers

Now I have to be honest I'm still not sure why you read my blog or why you keep coming back, but THANK YOU!! It would be pretty boring without you all.

  11. Congrats on your award my friend - it's perfect! And thank you so much for giving it to me - coffee goes oh so well with chocolate! :)

    Sorry Kathy, that my name popped up first - it's probably only because the word "chocolate" is in there - LOL!

    Hope you found lots of good stuff at the garage sales! Proud of you for not buying a bunch of Christmas stuff at the store. I went to my fave thrift store yesterday and I avoided the home decor aisles this time (and I'm just sure I missed out on some great decoration - *sniff* - ha,ha!).

    Have a lovely weekend! Big a-strong-cup-of-coffee-is-stronger-with-friends hugs to you!
