My First Award!

I received my first-ever award. This Kreativ Blogger award was bestowed upon me by Heather of Sherry Trifle and Cats. Thanks so much, Heather. I feel so special! Everyone should definitely check out Heather's blog. She has some wonderful dessert recipes I can't wait to try out!

There are rules to follow when accepting this award. They help me get the word out about some of my favorite blogs so I'm happy to oblige:

1) Thank the person who has given you the award.

2) Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

3) Link to the person who has nominated you for the award.

4) Name 7 things about myself that people might find interesting.

5) Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.

Here are my 7 Kreativ Bloggers, check um out:

1) chubbycraft - crafty ladies doing what they do best - talkin' about and postin' photos of super-cute and creative crafts to decorate one's home and one's self.

2) Madam Sucre - move over Martha! this ladie's fixin' to steal your job with all her tablescape and food styling inspiration

3) Lunch Box Lane - this mommy blogger bakes up treats that kids will go crazy for like Sesame Street cupcakes and Yo Gabba Gabba cookies, perfectly decorated and brightly colored to attract the kid in all of us (PS - she's tying the knot this weekend!!!)

4) From Donuts to Delirium: My Life as a Housewife - this UK-dwelling Lady of the House writes about her sweet treats as well as those she discovers on her travels, adding some much needed sophistication to any reader's day

5) Chocolate and Whine - with such beautiful photography and yummy recipes, it's no wonder I feel a deep connection to this blogger. Or maybe it's the fact that she complains about all the pet peeves I share. Or maybe I can relate to an obsession with all things Twilight. Irregardless, her posts are laugh-out-loud funny!

6) Me and My Pink Mixer - I'm very new to following this one. I was first drawn in by the title, it's just so awesome, but she's kept me around with her lovely photography and recipes I'd like to show off at my next dinner party.

7) Cheat Day Cafe - I can relate! Dieting & Baking are not very good friends, but with one "Cheat Day" per week you might be able to get those two to coexist.

7 fun facts about me:

1) I love to snowboard, so much that I moved up to Tahoe for a year so I could do it every day.

2) I jumped out of a plane while flying over Australia.

3) I used to pour drinks for a living.

4) I love to travel and ALWAYS have my next big trip planned out. My goal is to leave the country at least once/year.

5) I play on an adult softball team with my whole family - dad, mom, sister, brother, and fiance. The rest of the team is made up of our friends who we've played with throughout the years on other teams. We just had an undefeated season but lost in the championship game. I love this team more than any other team I've even played on.

6) I love to cook and bake but I hate doing dishes more than any other chore. Seriously, I'd rather clean the bathroom than a plate.

7) My favorite food is dim sum!!
