I am so honored to be chosen as one of Trendy Treehouse’s Top 10 Picks for the Trendy Blog Award (along with Chelsey at The Paper Mama, Jamie at Pure Joy Creative, and Tracey at Inspire Me Photography amongst several others). When I started this blog on December 30, 2009…I had no idea where it would go, and I certainly didn’t imagine that anyone would have an interest in what I posted…but thank you.

Actually, I think I have been snipe hunting. When I finally realized what I was doing, I felt ridiculous. {three} what’s the strangest talent you have? I’m not sure if I have any strange talents although in high school, my friends and I used to have burping contests. So it’s me…and a bunch of guys – guess who won the...
