{merci !!}

Thank you Laura of Laura's Paris Cooking Notebook for giving me the Kreative Blogger Award!! I am so honored to be thought of. I started this blog a while back, took a long pause and just this Spring got serious about consistancy. It has been a constant joy to learn about others, meet people and ultimately new friends with common interests and even learn more about myself. I hope to continue to inspire and even change things up a bit in the months to come!! I find constant inspiration in the kitchen, thanks to Laura's blog. Check it out for great recipes!

To fully accept the above, I've been asked to share 7 things about myself that you may not know. So here it goes!

1} I think I'm French. No, I didn't say that I want to be French...I really think that I am. Deep down.
2} I am a city girl, but would love to own a goat: named Edelweiss.
3} Lately, I've been struggling with my purpose; including what I should do with my life. It's bad folks. Then, last week I watched Julie + Julia, and I admit that I nearly cried throughout the entire film. No, it's not a sad story, but I don't know another movie that I could relate more with. {My poor Mister.} And, yes - I LOVE to cook {especially French food}. When walking out of the theatre my Mister said, "Wow - that could be you. You are both of those ladies." Quietly I replied, "I know". So, I'm contemplating a similar challenge to get me out of my funk, but what?!?!
4} Ever since THIS post, I drink my morning beverage in a bowl.
5} I am an Army Wife and am completely proud of my Mister, but am terrified at "what being an Army Wife really means".
5} I love to sew, crochet, knit, cook and be wrapped up in the creative world, but currently work in a Finance Department.
6} I genuinely see the good in people.
7} I honestly believe that I personally know some of the most creative people in the world!!

Case in point...I am passing this award onto my following friends:

Kirsten of SimplyGrove - I barely have words to describe how I feel about Kirsten. She's one of my dearest friends and is the reason I started blogging in the first place. She inspires all she meets...not just on her blog, but in day-to-day life. Check her out and be amazed by the beauty she brings, creates and inspires.
Jennifer of A Merry Mishap - Jenn, another dear friend, oozes creativity. Everything her hand touches turns to beauty. Check out her blog for inspiration and her lovely shop too.
Rachelle of Kenziepoo - Rachelle has a great blog that fully inspires all things baby. She also has a great Etsy shop that I know you'll love. Check it out HERE!
Kalah of Halle Jean - The blog is not fully updated, but check out her shop! The headbands she makes are too adorable for words!!
Christina of Down and Out Chic - Chic indeed! I met Christina through this little blog world we live in and I must say she always keeps me guessing and wanting more. I believe that if we lived in the same city we would be great friends. I love her style and fresh take on things. She recently opened up a shop. Check it out out for some eye-delights!
