BFF Award

I have just received another Blog award, and I am so honored and excited. The Idyllhours blog award is the BFF award - Blogger Favorite Friend. Isn't it gorgeous? My wonderful friend and motivator sent this to me. Thank you so much, Tina!!

The rules of this award are: accept the award by commenting on the blog of the person that gave it to you; pass it on to five others; reveal five things you enjoy doing.

So here goes! I am sending the Idyllhours BFF award to Shannon, Debbie, Melissa, Mandy and Paige!

5 Things I Enjoy Doing:

• Spending time with my family and friends;


• Scrapbooking with CTMH prodcuts (DUHHHHH!!!) (melanieboyer.myctmh.com);


• Running/Working Out- I completed my first half-marathon (13.2 miles) in January and am working on training for it again -- Aramco Half Marathon -- January 17, 2010 Houston, Texas!


• Traveling -- looking forward to going to DC for CTMH Convention with my CTMH sisters and meeting LOTS of new ones (& hoping to get to go to one of Tina's retreats in Seaside...love that place, too)!


• Shopping!

Thanks again Tina... you are the best!
