The Beautiful Blogger Award

I am blown away! I found out a couple of days ago that I had been given a BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER AWARD by my good friend Cynthia from Beatnheart    THANK YOU CYNTHIA!!! Goodness I'm so new to Blogland that I certainly wasn't expecting anything like this...what a wonderful feeling to know that someone thinks my Blog is special enough to give me an award. Wow! Now there are a couple of things I must do...1) I must tell you 7 things about myself..that's going to be tough but I'll try my best.

1) I live on a small farm
2) I love horses and used to own a few
3) I used to have a beautiful little gift shop in the mountains of British Columbia Canada
3) I can ski
4) I am an archer (yes like Robin Hood)
5) I have done stained glass
6) I love yoga
7) I love to bake bread

Next I am to make a list of 15 of my FAVORITE Bloggers. I'm not sure if I can give you 15 as some of my favorites are 'award free' blogs....but I will do my best.

1) Le Monde de Catherine
2) Old Sweet Water Cottage
3) Beatnheart
4) Two Crazy Crafters
5) 52 Flea
6) Kate's Place
7) City Gal Moves To Oz Land
8) Rural Revival
9) Celestial Charms
10) Rose Colored Glasses
11) My Country Cottage Garden

There were more of my favorite blogs I wanted to give the award to but they either already had this particular award or they were an 'award free' blog or I have not added them because my Windows Explorer kept quitting and I figured after working on this for 2 1/2 hours I better quit before I lost everything that I'd already done!

Thank you again Cynthia for this award! I hope you will all go over to Cynthia's Blog 
Beatnheart    and say 'hello' to her and check out her beautiful jewelry...she's a fun gal and I know you'll enjoy visiting with her.

I hope I've done this right...please excuse me if I messed up and the links don't work but I'm just learning. I hope you'll visit these wonderful fun ladies anyway.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the award on my Blog!!!    

Have a wonderful day ladies...Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Take care......Maura
