My Christmas Blessings

I never imagined when I started writing this blog that a)anyone would ever read it or b) I would ever make so many amazing friends out there who love and adore so many of the same things I do! I have learned so much from each and every one of you and during such a trying time in my life, I really feel like you all offered me the support that I needed. I have loved reading all of your blogs and amazing comments-not to mention all of the fashion and beauty advice,even if it has driven me to shop even more than I usually do!! So In a round about way (so chatty) I am trying to say Thank you, to all of you, I feel especially blessed this Christmas to have found so many amazing people, and for those of you I have yet to know-I am looking forward to the opportunity. You all are truly my Christmas Blessings.

Julie at Brown Eyed Belle tagged me for the sweetest award ever The "You've got IT" award!! (and yes Julie I think we may share a brain!)

Since Julie is the creator of this award I wanted to quote her directly on the meaning behind it...

"It is a way of recognizing blogs that have something (IT) that you love. The thing that keeps you coming back for more. The thing that draws you in and makes you feel like this blogger is your soul sista. The little something that sets that blog apart from other blogs. Those posts that speak to your heart, make you laugh, make you cry, make you rush to the bottom of the post for the little comment box to tell them how it made you feel. That is what this award is about."

I am going to pass this on to a few ladies who inspire me each day...

For the Love-I laugh out loud every time I read her posts, she is so sweet, pretty pretty blond, shares my loves of diet coke and lives in Florida with her darling Hubby! I just know that we would most likely be the only two girls giggling all of the time!

Becky at Thyme for Wine-We have become such good friends I can call her Becky:) I know we would be BFF, plus her recipes (which are amazing) have basically saved my kitchen from burning down and my husband from starving! I think she should publish a cookbook.

Tales of Short Southern Momma-One of the sweetest, most darling people on the planet:) She has a daughter (Macy-love love love her name!) and they have the kind of relationship my mom and I have and the kind I hope to have with my own children some day, She will brighten your day, everyday!

Our Three Ring Circus-She has the absolute best mix of posts! I love hearing about beauty products, reality TV, fashion, family, her kids (she is a teacher!), her hubby. She is just one of those girls you feel like you know instantly and you have been close to forever:)

Through Rose Colored Glasses -One of the very first blogs I ever stumbled across, with the most amazing fashion sense, adorable little puppy, impeccable taste in decorating you will love her! And the poor thing has had quite the year with a roof that caved in! (you have to read it!) But she just relocated and her new place is amazing:) Love reading your blog girl!

So I hope that after the Holidays you girls get a chance to get this award off to some other people:)

Hubs and I are leaving in the morning for what is sure to be an eventful couple of days.

So I shall proclaim before I turn off the light.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!!!
