I've been featured on The Creative Crate blog!!

It's always such an honor to be featured by the bloggers I admire!  I added a few projects (ORB knife block, boys dresser, and Menu board) to the linky party at The Creative Crate last week and I'm so flattered that Stacie picked my dresser to be one of her featured items in her "Project Parade"!  There were so many fantastic crafts, recipes, makeovers and ideas linked up!  Thanks Stacie!  =)

I've been given a blog award!!

Wow! I feel so special to have my very own blog award! I got it from Suz at Family "Cents" - thanks Suz!!
The Rules:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

So, here are some great savings and "crafty" blogs I regularly read - enjoy! Congratulations ladies! =)
