You picked me. : )

Awww, I feel completely flattered to me nominated for not only one, but two amazing blog awards today by two extremely gorgeous and creative women. Thank you!

The first was from Penny who ever so kindly passed along an Honest Scrap Award to me. And here I was, all worried about sharing TMI. :)



So, here we go.. the rules are as followed below..

a) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.
b) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.
c) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.
d) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these
guidelines in receiving.

Hmm, now I have to figure out what to share with you that I haven't already!

10 Honest things about myself:

1) I am wearing socks with textured slip-proof suction cup-like things on the bottom.

2) I am extremely accident prone and in one year alone had 2 concussions, 1 falling down the stairs, 1 slight electrocution, and it seems like there is something else I am forgetting.. (probably a result of the concussions.)

3) As klutzy as I am, I have always dreamed of being a ballet dancer, who can on occasion, and if needed.. break out some amazing hip hop moves.

4) I have seen "Save the Last Dance" more times than any other movie.

5) Dry skin bothers me in the same way that finger nails on the chalkboard does other people. I put lotion on my feet before putting on my suction cup socks.

7) I have not started my ballet conditioning workout yet, but hope to before this week is over.

8) My first love was African American, probably another reason why I relate to that movie so much.

9) I don't believe that there is one person for all of us. I think that love comes in many different forms and that we can have many true loves throughout our lifetime.

10) I have attempted to read C.S. Lewis' book "The Four Loves" many times and have never been able to finish it. I might try again..

I am sharing this award with the following 7 honest bloggers..

Kacy
Jane
Chrissy
Amy
Alana
Wendy
Lori

The second award (as if one weren't enough!) came from the lovely Jennifer Aniston.. er.. I mean, Megs. who passed along a Creative Blogger Award to me. :)



Okay, you know the drill..

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might not know.
5. Nominate 7 Kreative Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated

And AS IF you already haven't learned enough about me, here's a little more!

7 Things that people might not know about me:

1) I have crooked teeth, you wouldn't know because I NEVER smile with my teeth. I had braces when I was younger, but they seem to have shifted back again.

2) Sia is my favorite female musician. She has teeth just like mine.

3) I am so flat-chested that the only place I can find bras in my side is in the girls department (and sometimes H&M). I used to dislike this about myself, but then I read an interview with Erykah Badu once in "Organic Style" magazine saying that she buy hers in the the girls section of Sears and didn't seem the least bit embarrassed by it. I have felt slightly better about myself ever since.

4) I desperately miss "Organic Style" magazine. I have kept all my old issues and re-read them over and over. There will never be another magazine that compares.

5) I am also still in denial that "Gilmore Girls" has ended and watch the reruns on DVD over and over. There will never be another show that compares.

6) If I could have any job in the world it would be to create music soundtracks for television shows and movies.

7) I believe that I am the clay and God is the sculptor. I try daily to be open to change and growth.. as painful of a process as it may sometimes be. "Like an apple on the tree, hiding out behind the leaves, I was difficult to reach.. but you picked me."

And now, I would like to pass along this award to the following 7 creative bloggers..

Haley
Sherry
dongdong
Lisa
Marcy
Mimi
Pink & green mama

I would also like to give an extra one to my lovely and loyal blog follower, Madeline

That was so difficult! Each and every one of you are so beautifully unique and creative! And I don't know about you but.. was that as exhausting to read as it was for me to write?? Ha, I've been staring at the computer for so long now that I am beginning to go cross-eyed. Whew, lets just all close our eyes and listen to some music now. :)



Every time I hear this song, I sing along with it to God. :) Don't you think she looks so much like the beautiful and pregnant Yana?

XOXO, Erin
