The lovely Shane at Roses, Lace and Brocante recently passed along an award to me.

Next month will mark 2 years since I started blogging. I have certainly found it to be a very inspiring and encouraging journey and have "met" so many wonderful friends along the way.
I now approach the world with "eyes wide open".
My camera is with me wherever I go.
I appreciate the simple things in life more than ever.
I have tried new patterns, crafts, recipes -- so much I never thought about before.
This blog world is truly an amazing experience. I'm still in awe of the fact that we can connect within seconds from all the way around the world.
Speaking of around the world, our bags are packed and we are leaving today for a 10-day family vacation.
I stocked up on yarn to keep me busy while waiting and flying and riding.
I cannot believe that July is just around the corner. Summer is flying by.
I wish you all a great rest of the week and a happy July! Will check in with you in a couple of weeks. Friendship blessings, Tammy
