Esther from Shoregirl's Creations awarded me the Stylish Blogger Award. I was so pleased, but it was Christmas and I was barely getting a blog post up. So today things are back to normal -- Emily went back to school yesterday, RB is back to work today and, although the house is way too quiet, I'm getting back in my routine.
Please check out Esther's blog -- it is delightful. Besides her beautiful cards, there are other artistic projects (incuding sewing) that she uses to shelter others. (An act dear to my heart!) Esther homeschools her daughter and one of the neat things she does is include Makayla in her crafting. I hope you'll check her out.
Mindy from In the Loop also gifted this award to me. Mindy loves to crochet and she has pictures of her projects on her blog. You'll find tips here and there, too. She also has a sweet little boy which keeps her busy -- including kindergarten.

Pamela, congrats on the awards. I'll have to check out those sites, too-thanks!
Thank you for including me in your awards, Pamela, I appreciate it so much! I'm glad you enjoy my blog and will try to come up with topics you'll enjoy. Hugs, Anne
Thanks for dropping by my blog! And congratulations on your award.
Your blog is beautiful...you have done an awesome job...I have no clue how to do this.
Oh, I love Tazo tea, mine is chia...but hot with milk. I love picture books...I could have a library full, I learn just as much from them as I do an adult book.
Congratulations on your reward.
Hi Pamela, Thanks for coming to my blog. Please come back anytime. I am enjoying yours. I am retired and enjoy hiking (waterfalls), gardening (roses), and birding... I have 5 grands ---all in their teens now... Yipes--they grow up much too fast, and so do my kids (3 sons --47, 40, 39)...
Congrats on the awards. I now have an award-free, meme-free, tag-free blog. I have no problems if people enjoy that--but I always had trouble picking out favorite blogs to pass on. Someone always got their feelings hurt ---and I didn't care for that.
Come back anytime.
Hugs,
Betsy

Pam, here are a few more blogs you might enjoy. Neither comes from the Christian perspective but they are full of creativity.
This girl does everything in dots! Sometimes you have to scroll through her personal posts to get to the craftier ones, but I found her techniques interesting:

And these girls do weddings, event planning and design. They always have great ideas. I think Melanie would especially enjoy this one since she is such the tablescape lady. Lately they've been posting about their exotic honeymoons but again if you dig in you'll find lots to look at:

Thank you for the award! I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
You forgot that you are an amazing writing teacher! I learned so much... I find myself quoting the "Show not tell" statement to myself over and over... :)
