~ You Make Me Smile and She thinks Im a Star ~

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
My friend Lori surprised me with the Blogging Star award.  Thank you so much !  YOU for sure a Blogging Star in my
 book.

Lori aka MiryClay  had to say about the award....
Heidi doesn't know where this award originated from, so we don't know the rules that go along with it. However, when I think of a star blogger...I'm picturing bloggers that put out a lot of entries a day, chuck full of information that will benefit others, people that make blogging so much fun. I glean from all of my blog friends....whether it be for laughs, encouragement, homeschooling advice, or just simply friendship.

So I would like to also add....
Tiany, (She has so many things that are SO inspiring !)
BChsMamaof3 (for ALL her amazing photo's),
 Lynn
(for her oh so many links)
Jenn4him(for her constant fellowship and Nature Walk posts )
Go see Jenn's Nature Journal Blog

 PlainJane( for her sharing about Heart of Wisdom how to's)
Socalval ( for her links too !)

Then....

I have been SO  blessed by Lori ,

Jane  and Angela  with this honored Award.  Thank you so much for thinking of me.  I cherish it that you thought of me.  Blessings and (((HUGS))) my SS'sIC. 

 


This is what the person that created this award says about it:

"The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell, and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with.

 

I want to pass this on to (ten x 3) SS'sIC....

My boys... bugboy, OrangeKnight, Sleeper, Eonamcil

Wow, thanks for the Blogging Star award! I don't know how much of a star I am in the blogging world, but you certainly make me feel special. Congratulations on the award yourself - YOU ARE A STAR!!! I'll put it up soon, right now I'm being dragged away by some little girl that wants me to work on her room. :)

That is about all I am doing today, working on her wall and cleaning up after a sick dog (sigh). Have a good day!

Sweet, sweet Mary. Thank you! I am proud that you call me a Star blogger. I was just telling Valerie aka socalval, that I sometimes feel my quantity is not quality! I do love blogging. I am so inspired by all of my friends. We are a little band of ladies whispering to one another, "You can do it, keep going!" Thank you.

Thanks so much for this award. I will mention it tomorrow on my blog- I am on my mac and I can't really post when I am on it because the toolbar isn't there to post links etc.

I love the picture and verse at the top of your blog.

We just returned from another civil war reenactment. It was fun. :-)
Have a wonderful Sunday.

I turned off my computer to watch Stargate Atlantis, then I thought, "Hmmm, I'll go blog for a few minutes before I go to bed, especially since I won't be turning it on tomorrow (Sunday)." And what a surprise! Thanks for thinking of me, Mary! And I'm so tickled to see you have the Blogging Star award, too.
What's really cool is that I saw the names you wrote down, and I'm actually getting to KNOW these folks. It makes me think of the song, "And friends are friends forever, if the Lord is Lord of them." It will be be better than blogging to hang out with new and old friends in Glory.
Have a great Sunday!

Aww you are very sweet! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I'm glad my CC blog makes you smile :D

We returned from house hunting and God is SO faithful! DH's pessimistic thoughts were turned around and he is now in full agreement with the original house offered to us by Christian homeschooling family at a discounted rent (plus our work lol). Guess what? I can have chickens in the yard if I want!! hehee! And guess what else?? I didn't even try to convince DH of the great deal, he finally came to understanding after seeing every house for rent in town ;)

After getting back my internet and phone was down for 3.1/2 days, just got it back on this a.m. and had to rush to get the newsletter done and ebay packages shipped out. Life is a roller coaster, I better hang on! :D

hugs

I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
