Get Out The Red Carpet

Rose from our garden last year.

I had no idea that I would need to get out of my jammies and put on the diamonds and white gloves to blog this morning... but then I read Kitschalicious' post here and realized that I have been given an award! yippie skippie! Suddenly my sweats and t-shirt don't seem fancy enough. Please excuse me while I change into red carpet attire.

Thank you sweet Adrienne for the award, you have totally blessed my heart and started off my day with a smile and a happy dance!

And I needed that.

After a wreestless night dreaming about having to feed 80-100 women turkey and tuna sandwiches {strange combo} and not starting to make the sandwiches till they were seated at their tables, and having to flee from an angry, hungry mob... well let's just say that I just needed that little pick me up this sleepy morning!

And yes I know, I have the strangest dreams. Lucky me, I also seem to remember most of my dreams. *sigh* Time to hit the coffee.

Well, I do believe that it is time to say 10 things that make me happy and pass the award on to another wonderful blogger.

1. My hubby - he makes me laugh every day with his silly antics. Seriously, someone asked me to put all his goofy quotes and "Ballads from the Pallate" {that's what he calls them} in a book and sell it. He is a hoot!

2. Family and making memories - I can not even begin to express to you how much of a family driven person I am. Family is a safe place - a place to establish roots and stretch your wings.

3. Crafting. I heart crafting. It is so rewarding to get a half-baked, fully-crazed idea and see it come to completion. Ahhh, so rewarding!

4. Bargain shopping - Specifically the Goodwill and Fancy store. As I always tell hubby, nothing says love like discount prices! 

5. Long weekends with my hubby - Getting to be home together for a whole day - pure bliss!

6. Hosting get togethers - I love opening my home to friends and family.

7. Home cooked meals - Both making them and eating them! haha!

8. Sunggling with our fluffy pup.

9. Home improvement projects - just give me a sledge hammer and I'm ready to go! ok just kidding, I'm really more of a "make-a-gazillion-holes-in-the-wall-with-a-single-nail-while-trying-to-hang-up-that-picture" kind of girl.

10. Blogging - I love sharing life here at the "too Blessed to Stress" nest and learning from all of you.

So I am thrilled to pass this award on to The Tablescaper. Have you seen her tablescapes? Stunning! Brings a smile to my face for sure :)

Enjoy the award, and feel free to pass it on if you like.

And thanks again, Adrienne, for the award! You are too sweet.
