My First Ever Blog Award....

I received a wonderful honor this morning in that I received my first ever blog award from Penny Duncan ( http://pennyduncancreations.blogspot.com/ )! For months I have seen other blogs that have had such an honor bestowed upon them – some having multiple awards. I always wondered how they received them and now I know.
The rules for this award are that I must list five things I love to do and then pass it along to five other people.
So five things I love to do……
1. No secret here but I love creating cards whether they be for me to give as gifts or others to buy to share.
2. I love spending time with my family. Now that two of my children have grown and left for college it’s a reality that has set in more than ever before that children don’t stay for long.
3. I love to read as I have time. Ted Dekker is my all time favorite author and in my opinion is more riveting than Stephen King or Dean Koontz.
4. I love to garden and preserve my own food. I always hated it when my mother did this as I was growing up, but I’m glad that she did it and that she instilled the value of this art with me.
5. Believe it or not I love the career that I have chosen. I am an administrative assistant that does more than the typical admin. I enjoy working in the hospitality industry and I love the fact that dh and I are able to work together …..yes for the same company and on the same shift.

Now for my pick of 5 blogs with whom to share this award. I have chosen these 5 ladies because their creations and talents continue to be a source of inspiration for me. I am always looking forward to seeing what new cards they come up with on the Cricut MB’s:
