Honest Scrap & Butterfly Awards

The cutest little Ashley on the blogging block over at Ashley's Adventures was kind enough to present me with the Honest Scrap Award. Thanks, Ashley! Be sure to go by and meet her, if you haven't already! The rules are:

a) Choose a minimum of 5 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.

b) Show the 5 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap".

There are so many blogs that I think are brilliant in content or design, so if you haven't received this award, please feel free to take it and pass it along.


c) Then, list 10 honest things about yourself.

1) I still like to color. (Don't laugh!)
2) I don't like to clean!
3) I don't like clutter, but I still have it.
4) I like vacations.
5) I don't like dealing with the cable company.
6) I lack patience.
7) I sometimes use bad language when I drive. And I'm good at instructing others as to what they're doing wrong. :D
8) I wish people could live forever, and not suffer and die.
9) I like to play practical jokes...and tease people.
10) I took Spanish for 3 years, and can still not speak it, but still understand some conversation.

Also, Susan at A Southern Daydreamer also presented me with the Butterfly Award. Thanks, Susan! I have already received this one sometime back, but I would like to pass it on to a relatively new blogger, Coty Farquhar at Styling by Coty Farquhar. She is an Australian blogger and stylist, and has a BEAUTIFUL blog with lovely tablescapes, etc.. Be sure to go over and meet her, if you haven't already.
The rules to follow are:

a) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person that has granted the award and his or her blog link.

b) Pass the award to at least 5 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment. Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

If there is anyone else who hasn't received this award, please feel free to take it and pass it along to others.

Thanks Ashley and Susan! You ladies are very sweet to think of me!

Hi Penny,

I just came over to visit you to say thanks for your lovely and kind words that you left today on my blog.

I am also delighted to find that you have mentioned me here on your blog and given me this butterfly award. Thank you,Penny, I'm so touched to receive this from you.

I had the most beautiful butterfly land on my head the other day while having lunch with my family in the garden, it just sat there for ages, everyone ran for their camera, unfortunately they missed the shot, it fluttered off.

I'll be back to visit you soon.

x Coty

p.s. I saw you elves, my gosh....

Lacking patience would explain about the driving issues and the cable company issues lol. You need LOTS of patience for those two things! And I don't have any either so I know just what you mean.

Congratulations! I love to color too--because I always wanted to be artistic, and I am so NOT artistic -- all I can manage is to try to color in the lines! I try to do it when my grandchildren are around, so I'll have a good excuse! laurie
