The Versatile Blogger Award

Ok, friends. I'm new to all of this blogging & award stuff. While rereading my acknowledgement over at No Apologies, I realized I had a little more to do before actually accepting the VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD.

This is what I learned (if you are on the following list, these instructions are for you:)

The guidelines for accepting the award are....

thank the person/people who gave it to you
(that's me!)

share 7 things about yourself.
(this is difficult for me as I doubt anyone really cares that much!)

pass the award on to 15 bloggers,

whom you have recently discovered,

and think are fantastic.
(This was easy for me...look who I picked!)

Let's get started,shall we?
Thank you to Ashley at


"/>for the Versatile Blogger Award.Ashley is so very crafty and already hosts lots of give-a-ways!You must stop by her site!  You won't regret it!

1. My dogs are like my family.  Presley (a shih tzu) & Addy (a chocolate lab) live with us.  I still cry when conversation turns to my 17 year old Golden Retriever "Buck" who passed away more than 10 years ago.

2. When I see all of the talent out there in blogland, I become overloaded with all the gorgeous things I want to try.  My house can not afford for me to have any more hobbies/interests until I can hire a housekeeper!

3. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day...I could have it for lunch and dinner & be oh so happy!

4. I grew up in the oldest town in Texas and I LOVE Texas History.

5. I love dishes, their history, setting a table and entertaining my friends.

6. A regret of mine is not working for a dear friend in the antique business when I had the chance.  She
is now gone and I'm sorry I missed out on all I could have learned.

7. My family is my greatest blessing and joy...my husband & children as well as my mom, daddy, & brothers.  My in-laws aren't too shabby either! (check out number 1 on my list!)  (smiles)
