So I have spent far too much time today playing with blog templates from Leelou Blogs. Have you seen her designs? They are adorable. The first one I had, I decided was too fancy. The second had stars and was red, white and blue and I LOVED it, but I felt like it was too busy. For now, I have settled on this. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the font colors - kind of hard to read? Any thoughts?

I have gotten a couple of blogging awards in the last few weeks. Thanks, ladies! I wish that I could give both awards back to the women that gave them to me but I don't think it is supposed to work that way. ;)

Cheryl is my sweet friend and bestowed this award on my blog. I'm honored! I hardly think that I am "Brillant (with an 'e')" but I love to write and it feels good to know that someone likes to read it. I'm supposed to pass the award on to seven others so with out further ado...

• Holly at 2 Kids & Tired
• Susan at Slice of Life
• Ginna at Life as a Gesamtkunstwerk
• Darilyn at My Enchanted Musings
• Cecily at My Chaos, My Bliss
• Melinda at At Shore's End
• Marchetz at TMKL Carman Family

And a little while ago Melinda gave me this "Arte y Pico" award. This award was designed to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creativity and their talents, also for contributing to the blogging world in whatever medium. Thanks, M! Again, I'm honored!

I started reading Melinda's blog when we were both doing Sunday Scrappin' regularly. I was intrigued with what she writes and interested in her perspective on homeschooling. Since then she has been a regular read. And when she made me realize that doing laundry is serving the Lord, I knew I had to keep reading!

I'll pass this one on to:

• Janelle at Regally Blonde
• Cheryl at Happy Meets Crazy
• Julie at Just Trying to Remember
