Stylish Blogger Award

 Deb at A Mind on Design, nominated me for the Stylish Blogger Award.   Wow, thanks a million.

If you haven't been following her blog, you need to go there and check her out.   She's an interior design student with fabulous design ideas.  She also shares her daunting experiences as a student.  Thanks so much for recognizing  me Deb.

So in order to accept this award it did come with a set of rules.  I always follow rules.  That's what teachers do, you know.

1. Thank and link back the blogger that awarded this to you. (Thank them, hug them, send them xoxoxo......and link back because bloggers are very polite people...oh yeah and its a rule too!)
2. Share seven things about yourself. 
3. Award other fellow bloggers. (No limit on this one...but keep it real...and award it to bloggers that really touch you and that you read often)
4. Contact these bloggers and let them know that they have won the Stylish Blogger Award.

     bag of licorice.

     store again.  Any thoughts on that?

Thanks again Deb.
