And the Oscar Goes too...

The Beautiful Blogger Award Goes to Yours Truely. This wonderful award came from Cassie over at "Starting from Nothing and Learning as I Go" Make sure to check out her blog. I stumbled across it a few days ago, and we have so much in common.

I have to write 7 random things about me, and then pass this on to 7 worth bloggers.

Just when you thought you knew everything about me, I tell you 7 more things. So let's give it a shot...

1.) I have an addiction to "The Blog Frog." Instead of facebook, I am almost always on Blog Frog talking with other blog readers and passing along anything from recipes, design tips, and even listening to them talk about parenting.

2.) I am so excited for Spring Break. That day trip to Charleston is in the planning which makes me over joyed.

3.) I've started reading again, and I'm really getting into this book. I've even come up with a blog topic through reading this book.

4.) Since attending Art School.. I've had an obsession with Interior Design Magazines. Wait, okay I can't lie... I have a love for all magazines especially Traditional Home, Interior Design Magazine, Dwell, Real Simple, and I'm sure I could name some more.

5.) Is glad that my bestie decided to invite herself for dinner, and then basically cook it all. These are reasons she is the best.

6.) Is extremely excited to show all of you my Final for my Interior Design Project.. Coming Next Week

7.) Has a new obsession with Access Hollywood.. It gives me my drama and gossip for the week.

I'm passing this award to... Drum Roll Please

1.) Pam @ "Troop Petrie"

2.) Sandy @ "Pardon My Dust"

3.) Malory @ "Mal Mals Thoughts and Such"

4.) Jamie @ "Mommy's Camera"

5.) Courtney @ "One Modern Girl"

6.) Tyler @ "Just Another Day in Paradise"

7.) Pineapple Princess @ "The Love Shack"

I also won these awards from Linds over at "A Dollop of My Life." I just started reading her blog to and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

First Award:

Second Award:

The rules to the Happy 101 award is to list 10 random things about myself, so here it goes again:

1.) Loves the Bachelor. I wasn't happy with the outcome, and I don't think it will last very long. However, I'm so happy that Ali is the New Bachelorette.

2.) Is fixing to get started on my resume... Something I dread, but I can't keep putting if off.

3.) Wishes that I could take a spa day to a deserted island with some of my favorite people.

4.) I love to paint, and sometimes I enjoy making jewelry.

5.) Loves shopping at Gap and Ann Taylor Loft

6.) I think it would be amazing if I ever got the opportunity to live out of the country. The chances of this are probably slim, but I would jump at the opportunity.

7.) Likes pretty much all types of music except Rap. I just don't get it if I can't understand the words.

8.) Is hoping in my next place that I live I take the time to paint. That's hard for an Interior Designer, but I didn't wanna paint them back when I left. I also didn't know how long I was gonna be there. SO PAINT BEWARE

9.) Places that I want to visit soon.. Charleston,SC , Washington, D.C., Umm. Can I travel the world?

10.) Is currently awaiting Criminal Minds to come on. Why doesn't it come on earlier?! Crazy East Coast Time Zone

Honest Scrap...

I have been awarded the Honest Scrap Award. Thanks to Alexis @ Where He Leads I Will Follow. Make sure to check out Alexis Blog.. She has an inspring, and great blog.

Here are the rules..

1.) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.

2.) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.

3.) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.

4.) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving.

I agree with Alexis.. I get the "Honest" part, but not the "Scrap" part....

Now time for the Honest Truth.

1.) Even though I've had an amazing time with family and friends, I'm happy to be back in Savannah with my puppy. Somewhat HAPPY about getting back to my school routine.

2.) I'm a book worm, but the last 2 months I haven't been able to read much and this saddens me. Maybe I will read some tomorrow.

3.) I'm a total College Football Fan.. I'm sure that is a shock to most, but it's true. I'm a BIG Auburn Fan... War Eagle.

4.) One day I hope to adopt. I love hearing the inspiring blogs about adoption.

5.) I'm going to miss my nephews and brother and sister-n-law. We all just found out that my sister-n-law is getting a job transfer to Chesapeake Bay, Maryland in October. I have mixed emotions about this, but I know that it was bound to happen sooner or later.

6.) I love SUMMER... Summer reminds me of so many memories, and different things. Ice Cream, Watermelon, Picnics, Going to the park, friends, plants, late nights, swimming, family, laying out, reading, and relaxing. Summer also brings many memories of going to the beach with family and friends. How I wish I was a kid again sometimes?!

7.) I LOVE Mexican Food. If I could have it everyday of the week, I think I could handle it. Yummy.. Gosh I want some San Miguel's right now.. Too bad it's too far away. Guess I will settle for Carlitos soon.

8.) Even though I love SUMMER, I'm so ready for FALL. I'm ready for the cool weather that probably won't come until January or so, but what do you do. I guess I'll drink my Apple Cider while its still warm outside.

9.) I enjoy cooking most of the time. Before moving off to college, I was a pretty picky eater, but since moving out on my own I'm more willing to try new things. I enjoy trying to new recipes, and experimenting in the kitchen.

10.) I like to be in bed by 11:00 o'clock every night, and like it to be cold in my apartment. It helps me sleep better when it's cold, and it is officially past my bedtime.

Now to pass the award on...

1.) 11th Heaven's Homemaking Haven

2.) Coloring Outside the Lines

3.) Christie @ Just the 2 of Us

4.) Keely @ MannLand5

5.) Laura @ Our Crazy Adventure

6.) Katrina @ Sevin Family

7.) Sarabeth @ Southern Sister in a Western World

So Let's get HONEST...

Night to All!

Splash Blog Award

It's a Splash Award.

This is only my 2nd award since I've been on blogger. I first of all want to thank Keely over at "MannLand5." She has an awesome blog and has even started a new vblog (video blog) on friday. I personally think this was an awesome idea.

The Splash Award is given to alluring, amusing, bewitching, impressive, and inspiring blogs.

So I feel quite honored to receive this award.

When you receive this award you must:

Put the logo on your blog/post. Nominate up to 9 blogs which allure, amuse, bewitch, impress or inspire you. Let them know that they have been SPLASHED by commenting on their blog. Remember to link to the person from whom you received your Splash Award.

So here it goes....

1. Christie over @ "Just the 2 of us"

2. "All Things Three"

3. Jenna over @ "The Jackson 5"

4. Christa over @ "According to Christa"

5. Amy over @ "Filled with Praise"

So.. I slacked a little bit, and didn't do exactly 9 blogs. I give you permission to also.. These are just a few of my favorite blogs. Last but not least, I want to thank Keely again for this blog award. Go check out her blog and be looking for her vblog soon. Thanks to all my followers who send such encouraging and awesome comments. They are appreciated and I love hearing from ya'll.

One "FABULOUS" Blog...

Your looking at a "Fabulous Blog."

I wanted to thank Christie over at "Just the 2 of Us". I am so excited since this is my first blog award. Maybe I'll just print it out and frame it.. (Don't laugh too hard) Thanks Christie for following me and most of all always leaving sweet comments. I've come to enjoy reading your blog, and seeing what little Brayden is up too. Appreciate it ALOT.

This is such a GREAT Award but it does have certain rules to go along with it:

1.) List 5 Current Obsessions

2.) Pass the Award on to 5 Fabulous Blogs

I guess I'll start off with my list of 5 current obsessions..... Hmm.. This could get interesting..

1.)Reality TV - I love shows like Big Brother, There Goes the Neighborhood, Jon and Kate Plus 8, HGTV Design Star. Oh and Probably Many More

2.) Lite Cool Whip - Since I'm trying to cut back and loose a few lbs. I've been eating lite coolwhip instead of Ice Cream.. It's quite a good substitute if it's frozen. Yummy!

3.) PJs' - I've been spending quite a bit of time in them lately due to my final due in exactly 11 days! Can I scream yet? Oh Goodness..

4.) New Recipes - I've tried so many new but quick and good recipes lately... Too bad I don't have time to post them all... I'll get around to it eventually.

5.) Reading Amazing Blogs - Thanks to all my followers!

Now for the other part.... 5 FABULOUS BLOGS.... This could be a tough one..

1.) Krista @ "According to Christa" - She is a Senior at Texas A&M University and majoring in Early Childhood Education. I enjoy reading her blog because she is very close to my age, she blogs about everyday life, and her quest to decorate her apartment.

2.) Amy @ "Filled with Praise" - I enjoy her blog so much because it is so uplifting, and she is truly a woman of extraordinary faith. She and her family are currently trying to adopt from Ethiopia, and are raising money. GREAT Blog.

3.) Katrina @ "The Sevin Family" - She blogs about children's crafts, decorating ideas, and her children. Like this blog alot.

4.) "All Things 3" - Blogs about her children, and weekly adventures.

5.) Jenna @ "The Jackson 5" - Her blog is about her children, everyday life, her fashion finds (which I think are great), and recipes.

This was a really hard list to narrow down; but I love each of these blogs. I look forward to their post each week too. Once Again, Thanks Christie for nominating me. If you wouldn't have nominated me you would be on the Top of this Top 5 Fabulous Blogs.

Make sure to check out these other blogs that I've mentioned and don't forget Christie's blog - "Just the 2 of Us".

P.S. This is my Monday Blog.. I have too much to do this week.. But you should look at this as an extra because you got not only 5 Favorite Obsessions but 5 Favorite Blogs.

Hope you have a GREAT Week!
