New Layout , some blog candy and some AWARDS!

This is a layout I did today of my Katelyn, she got one of those Girl Gourmet cooking sets and has been having a ball every since. She loves to watch Cake Boss an I think this has inspired her to be a baker.




I am getting ready to start an awards ceremony but before I do you may want to go see Denise over at:Lala's World - she has some YUMMY candy she is giving away (hint - the candy is very dear to my heart!).....

Now without further ado...........

The Love Award...

has been given to me by the fabulous Queen Kat over at http://kateblue.blogspot.com/ ! We have been blogging buds for awhile now and she is so awesome. Creative, an awesome mom and wife and a sense a humor that is to die for! THE LOVE AWARD is an award aimed at bringing unknown good blogs to light...I'm ok with that "unknown" part an am honored to accept that award, especially since it was bestowed on my by the QUEEN herself!!! Whoo-hoo!!

There are a couple of conditions to follow in accepting, and they are:
1. If you have been tagged, do you want to accept, then you have to create a post on your blog and post the love blog photo.

2. Choose 3-5 of your favorite blogs to tag, link these in your blog too and tell the lucky people they have been tagged.
Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting~ Edward de Bono
