A few days ago I was given an award. The Stylish Blogger Award.
Mark Ruffner from Allthingsruffnerian has bestowed upon me this great honor. Thank you Mark. I didn't even know that you were reading my blog. That is what is so remarkable about blogging...we have Friends everywhere and that is what keeps us blogging.
Happily I accept this honor but there are a few simple rules:
1) Thank and link back to the person giving you the award
2) Share seven things about yourself
3) Chose 10 of your favorite blogs and contact those bloggers and tell them about the award
Seven things about myself:
I'm grateful to my parents who made the decision to emigrate to the Great United States of America when I was a very young girl
I have been blessed with a positive disposition
My husband wrote these for me:
ability to make something happen
unending ideas
creative stylist
having fun in creating
committed to improvement
I would like to give The Stylish Blogger Award to the following bloggers
Tongue in Cheek
My Castle in Spain
Aged and Gilded
PlumSiena
Surroundings
Art'stheAnswer
Bibliodyssey

THE ESSENCE OF THE GOOD LIFE
The difficult part of choosing only 10 favorite blogs is that there are so many more I would like to honor. So instead, I will add just a few of my favorites.

My French Country Home
From the House of Edward
Fauxology
Casa Dulce Hogar
French Kissed
Cote de Texas
