An award for me!!

I started blogging August of 2010 about my experiences good and bad as I make my way through Interior Design school.  I haven't been able to blog as often as I intended however I still managed to make some amazing connections through blogging and this amazing thing called SOCIAL MEDIA.  I totally love Social Media and today was one of those days that just seals the deal!!  One of my blogging friends Tammy @ Type A who I would love to meet in person some day has been kind enough to give me this little award. 


So in order to accept this award it did come with a set of rules....and you know how I love rules!!!!  So here is the scoop!

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.  (Wow.....only seven...I am sort of an open book it might be hard to stop at seven and this is one rule that I think would be o.k. to break)
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.

Okay so seven things about myself.
1.   I love to sing but can't carry a tune.
2.   I wanted to be a Doctor.
3.   I have very bright green eyes.
4.   I know how to do Michael Jackson's Thriller Dance but only after a shot or two of tequila.
5.   I LOVE tequila.
6.   I am known to clean the house by tossing whatever is lying around into a closet.
7.   I am addicted to Facebook and the world of Social Media.
8.   I am a bit of a dork.  ( I knew I couldn't stop at seven things about me.)
9.   I hope something I design will be featured in a magazine one day.
10. I love anything and everything that is design related be it Interior Design, Art, Architecture, or Landscaping.
11. I am a bit of an overachiever  (Another reason I had to write more than seven things about me.)


Okay so now onto the awards.  These are really great blogs.  If you don't follow blogs you are missing out and should definitely find some that interest you and become a reader.   It is super easy to do and each blogger makes it easy for you to become a follower and reader.

So without further delay the awards go to:
  1. Ruthie's Renewed Treasures 
  2. All about vignettes
  3. Marilyn's Design Studio
  4. A Color Specialist in Charlotte
  5. Metro Dc Mom
  6. The Design Junkie 
  7. Focal Point 
  8. Interleafings 
  9. Ruby's Musings 
  10. Bright, Bold and Beautiful 
  11. Gracefully Vintage 
  12. Color Gypsy 
  13. Design in the woods 
  14. Simplified Bee 
  15. Blue Planet Garden Blog 
Congratulations to all of the above blogs.   They are written by some amazing and talented women.  Please check them out.

School begins on January 31 and I am all registered for my next semester.  I haven't blogged since before Christmas and I apologize.  However I am all rested up and promise to blog more often in 2011.  I am so excited about the promise of 2011.  I just know it is going to be an exciting and great year!!

    Hey Deb, thanks for thinking of me! Happy to hear you're having such a good time with social media (and it CAN help you get in a magazine - it did for me plus a book contract to boot).

    I've done the 7 things meme before:

    But I have such a hard time coming up with post topics, maybe I'll repost!

    Thanks again! Susan
