Two in One Blog Awards!

I am always so honored whenever I receive a blog award. And even though sometimes I don't get to post about it right away, please believe me, I am thrilled!!! to know that some of you enjoy reading my blog. I am so excited to have received two blog awards, so I will be covering them both in one post. 

First I want to thank the lovely Guru Uru over at the amazing food blog: Go Bake Yourself.  And the lovely and vivacious Ms Foodie Fash who blogs about food, fashion and all things fabulous over at MsFoodieFash. What I love about these awards is the opportunity to connect and learn more about other bloggers. Some of you I am fortunate enough to have established friendships with offline and others I know we will when I meet you in person:-)

I will start things off with the addictive blog award and give a big thank you to Guru Uru the mastermind behind the delicious food blog Go Bake Yourself for presenting me with the award. The rules of this award are:

• Thank the person awarding you
• Share a little about why you blog and how the journey started
• Paste the blog award on your page
• Nominate 10 other blogs you think are deserving of the award

I started my blog as an outlet for my creativity. I  love to write and wanted to write about the things I loved and be creative in a way that I couldn't on my day job. This blog has turned into a lot more than just a creative outlet, it has brought me some amazing friends and the opportunity to inspire and be inspired by all of you. And now I nominate these lovely bloggers for the addictive blog award:

Budget Chic
Fashion Du Jour
Mrs. Pancakes
JAdore Fashion

Beatrice Clay 

Frannie Pantz
