An Honest to Goodness Award!


Mocha Momma is one of my new blogging friends that I met through Nan at momstheword. She's pretty new to the blogging world but has been kind enough to comment here a few times. I've enjoyed getting to know her and she has kindly bestowed the Honest Scrap Award upon me.

The rules are as follows:
  1. Say thank you to the presenter of the award and link back to them.
  2. Share 10 honest things about yourself.
  3. Present this award to 7 other people whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who give encouragement.
  4. Tell those 7 people they have been awarded Honest Scrap and inform them of these guidelines in receiving it.
Here are 10 Honest things about myself:
  1. I'm so thankful to be God's child. I would be nothing without Him. He is a wonderful Father and Savior.
  2. I am a shy person but I love to make new friends.
  3. I MUST have a my coffee in the morning. It's not a good idea to try to have any kind of meaningful conversation with me until I have my first cup.
  4. I am a true-blue Midwestern girl, although I tried to live in the South for awhile and even lived in Montana for almost a year. I always seem to come back to my roots.
  5. I love to learn about history and the people that lived in that time, especially the American pioneers, either through books, documentaries, websites, or movies.
  6. I am a new grandma.
  7. I always wanted to be a teacher when I was a girl and went to college one year but never finished. Instead, I became a homeschooling mom and got to teach my own girls. I love homeschooling, although our last student graduated this year.
  8. I received my Associates Degree in Business a year ago from a distance learning program and loved "going to school" alongside my daughter. That was fun.
  9. My grandma passed away last December and I do believe I will miss her every day until the end of my life. She was one of my very best friends and I will miss confiding in her.
  10. I love being a wife, mother, and grandma. I believe that there is no greater privilege (outside of being a Christian) than taking care of the ones I love.
So, now that you know more about me than you really wanted to, I am passing this award on to some other victims, I mean lucky recipients.
  1. Lynn at Queen of the Castle Recipes
  2. Debbie J. at HOMEMAKING DREAMS
  3. Laura at The Texas Hills
  4. Christine at Vista Woman
  5. Barbara at Barbara's Bakin N Bits
  6. Baba at Baba's Farm Life
  7. Anyone else that wants to join in on the fun.

Thank you so much for the fabulous award! Though I have received this one previously. You are so sweet. Congratulations on becoming a new grandmother! I have 9 and they are such fun.

Darcylee,
What a nice "gift", to recieve an award from you. I'm not usually very good at this but will try to uphold this honor.

I just went out for a coke with Mocha Momma today! Small world, lol!

I still miss my dad and it's been almost two years now.

I wanted to be many things, and a teacher was one of them. So I enjoy homeschooling too.

Congrats on your award, you deserve it!

Oh, and I still have to tell myself no sometimes and watch my spending!

You did a great job, Darcy Lee. Thanks for accepting and joining in. It helps other bloggers know us a little better.

Nan just found out some things about me she didn't know. I guess I'll have to blog about some of the things I wrote.

Have a very nice night.
Nannette

Darcylee, I noticed you have visited my blog 'The Thrifty/Garden Home' and I wanted to check out your site. What a great mix you have here. A new granddaughter ... and stories about your grandmother. I think I shall enjoy coming back for more visits.

Lynn said...

It's my first time to your lovely site. I found your link at Christine (who just tagged me with the Honest Scrap Award). So I had to come and say hi.

It's always fun meeting 'new' people in this blogging world. There are soooo many beautiful kindred spirits who share their love of God, beauty, life.....

Blessings!
