And Ott's A's Sunshine Award goes to .......

I watched the Emmy's this past weekend, so I feel the need to be a bit dramatic with this blog award.  (Humor me.)  Can't you just hear some announcers voice stating that title?  Of course in my mind he is standing next to actress in a lovely evening gown clenching a gold trophy that they are about to award to someone who act totally surprised and run up on the stage to give an acceptance speech.  As they thank everyone under the sun the orchestra will start to play music queuing the presenters to tug at the winners arm to get him off stage.  As they all walk off stage, waving to the crowd and clinging to their trophy the show goes to commercial as the announcer tells you what famous celebrities will be up next. 
So here's my version of an acceptance speech, while my evening gown is my pj's, my trophy is a badge and there is no orchestra to cut me off.

Every time I receive an award on this blog I am always incredibly honored to think someone else thinks as much about my blog as I do.  So I have to give a huge thank you for this award as it came from Sharon over at Keen Inspirations.  Sharon always has great craft and garden projects so if you haven't checked out her blog before please stop by and tell her Ott, A said Hi!

The rules of the Sunshine Award are to pass this on to 12 other blogs whose positively and creatively inspire others in the blog world. It’s hard to pick only twelve that fit that description, however there are some blogs I always tune in and read every word they write so today I am listing those blogs here.

Gal in the Middle-Always a fun read with entertaining stories about her family and her commute into work each day. 

Walking off the Beaten Path-  Lana always has the cutest stories about whats going on around the house, kitchen, family and farm.  A day reading her blog is like walking in the back door, sitting down at the kitchen table and visiting with an old friend. 

Family Balance Sheet- Great blog for gardening, recipes and money saving tips!!!

Frog Belly Soup- Sewing and crafts with some cooking and canning.  Very cute, very creative, and very well worth the read.

Marsha's Garden Blog- Marsha always has the most amazing pictures of flowers in her garden.  I could look though her pics all day they are that pretty.
