My First Blog Award!

I received my first blog award! Thanks to Paige at Mommy to a Charli Girl for my very first award, The Honesty Award. I am honored and blessed, so hugs to you, Paige!

The rules for this award are: First, choose a minimum of seven blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Secondly, show the seven winners' names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap". Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. Lastly, list at least ten honest things about yourself. I was also tagged by Debra at 3 Chicks and a Magnet for a blogger game. The rules for this game of tag are as follows: list six random or weird facts about yourself, and then tag six others. Here it goes ...(I will try to combine the answers, if possible). My seven winners are:

~~~~~

1. Melissa at Stretch Marks. I have never officially met Melissa here in blog land, but I read her blog everyday. She has me laughing out loud most of the time, or dropping tears on my keyboard. She is a very talented writer who is a genuine Christ Follower who loves the Lord.

~~~~~

2. Linda at Engraved in His Palms. She was one of my very first blogger friends who prayed for Pat and I this summer, and she was faithful to email me and encourage me. She is honest and transparent as God calls us each to be.

~~~~~

3. LMP Blog. Beth Moore at Life Proof Ministries' blog is where many blogger friends meet and share their hearts and souls. Beth Moore has always been one of my favorite Bible Study Leaders. On this blog she interacts with women daily with laughs, tears, and encouragement. I read her blog daily for encouragement.

4. All Things In Moddy. Hollie is a new friend of mine. Her blog design is adorable as well as her precious little girl and I love babie! She is refreshing and loves the Lord. She must have something great to say to have 180 followers!

~~~~~

5. Jillian, Inc. Jill is just refreshing and witty! She was one of my very first blogger buddies. She has also got it going on in the style arena. She is definitely blessed with a beautiful family that I enjoy reading about.

~~~~~

6. Lavender Chick. Debi just cracks me up! She has an amazing life on a Lavender Farm in the beautiful hill country in Texas. She shares with us about the "going ons" on her farm. We are even planning on meeting halfway sometime I hope in the near future.

~~~~~

7. 3 Chicks and a Magnet. Of all seven listed here, I have actually met Debra. What a Godly woman who has had many trials in her life lately, but has faced them with courage, strong faith ad trust. She has seen miracles in her life as I have. What impresses me the most...she home schools!

~~~~~

5. I am a very optimistic person.

6. I have seen God's miracles many times in my life.
