I am honored to be the recipient of the Kreative Blogger Award!  A great big “thank you” goes out to Deborah Vogts at Country At Heart  for awarding it to me this week. 

Receiving the award has 2 conditions, you have to share 7 things about yourself and you have to pass the award on to 7 other bloggers! 

So, what 7 things should I share with you about myself?  Hmm.  How about these:

1. I try to make Jesus Lord & Savior of my life, but tend to fail.  I’m so thankful He forgives me and lets me keep trying over and over again. 
2. I have 3 children whom I love beyond words, and I am truly blessed beyond words.  They make me proud each and every day.  It’s the hardest job I’ve ever had and the only one that I’ve truly loved!
3. I have been married to the love of my life and best friend for 15-1/2  years.
4. I love to cook and bake!  It’s one of my favorite past times!  I also love to read, scrapbook, & crochet.  In fact, every time I pick up a crochet hook, it reminds of my great-grandmother. 
5. Moving to the country a little over 2 years ago has been the best thing we have ever done.   God definitely knew what he was doing when He gave us this opportunity.  I’ve never felt so at home and peaceful in my life!
6. My biggest weakness – Chocolate!!!  Not just any chocolate, but really, really GOOD chocolate!
7. I love being frugal and always trying to find new/better ways to make our money stretch and/or save it.  My favorite site is Frugal Families.  Not to mention that it is owned by my very best friend.  I just wish we lived closer together. 

Here are the 7 bloggers that I have the privilege of passing this award on to:

1. Tammy – Frugal Families blog
2. Lisa – Blessed With Grace 
3. Miriam – My Country Cupboard
4. Joy – Joy In The Kitchen
5. Gayle – Grocery Cart Challenge 
6. Audra – Life In The Woodshed
7. Tawra & Jill – Living on a Dime
