It's Mind Blogging

Or is that mind blowing????

This week has been pretty busy here

at the Six house.

After being awakened by my sis

Six Divided By Two...aka Misty,

to inform me that a good bloggy friend of ours

Idyllhours

wrote this amazing and soul stirring blog.

I have to admit that I was saying "Amen"

out loud while reading it.

Sis and I were so inspired by this moving blog

that we felt the need to start a new revelation

in blogging.

To blog for what matters to us

and not be concerned with just the numbers.

To stand out in the crowd and be as unique

as we were meant to be.

We decided to share our passion

to be individual

with fellow bloggers who share the same zeal.

We, the Six Sisters, created this.

The "Not a Stepford Blog" award

 was created to celebrate those who buck the

blogging society and are true to themselves

and their blog.

Misty has already bestowed her award to several

fine bloggers out there and now it's my turn.

First and foremost, I have to award Debbie of Talking Trash.

Debbie is my fairy blog mother who dares to go where most

bloggers will never venture and she is hysterical in the process.

Second, I'd like to award The Texas Woman.

She has the courage of ten men and her

Tuesday posts will have you in stitches!

Third is Adrienne from The Flying Bee.

I love how she decided to totally take a new direction

with her blog and went for it!!!

The results were amazing.

Fourth is my girl Lulu Kellog.

Not only does Lulu make the most amazing jewelry

and crafts, but she has a dark side to her that I just love.

I mean c'mon...everyone can't be rainbows and unicorns EVERY day.

Last, but not least, is Gypsy Nurse from Writing Out Loud.

Her blogs are fun and inspiring as well as insightful.

This is a woman who is not afraid to put herself out there

and be transparent for the world.

I love her for that!!!!

If you have never met these talented women

please stop by and say hello.

I promise that you won't be disappointed

as they are all unique and amazing.

If you are one of the recepients of this award,
I hope that you will pass it on
to another blogger that you feel is different and wonderful
in their own unique way.

Will Wonders Never Cease???

I'm pinching myself right now!!!!!!!

(and I have the bruises to prove it.)

I have been honored with the

Kreative Blogger award

TWICE

in the same week!!!!!

Lilia with 2brown eyed beauties

and Monica with Happy Nester

have both blessed me with this award.

I am soooo humbled by all of this.

There are no words to express the joy I have in my heart.

I never even  knew exsisted.

"7 Things You Never Knew and Probably Never Even Considered Wanting To Know" about me.

       I faithfully color my little gray patch.

2. In January I will be a survivor.

It will be five years since I was diagnosed

with ovarian cancer and I had a hysterectomy.

I've gained considerable weight and have hot flashes

but I'm alive.

3. I met my husband at a wedding rehearsal dinner.

I had swore that I would never come back to this town

God has a sense of humor.

Alex, 17

Daviss, 11,

It's like the plague.

The Cottage Gals

The Junkin Yaya

Leann of The Vintage Laundress

Please go and stop by these lovely blogs.

MAJOR drooling and swooning will take place...I promise.

I'm off to get started on my christmas ornaments

set up my shop.

ETSY that is.

Six in One Hand is now on Etsy!!!!

I'll give you the 4-1-1 on Friday for her grand opening!!!!

Honest Scrap .....Honestly.

I was recently honored by Lilia with

2 Brown Eyed Beauties

with a Honest Scrap award!

This means so much to me.

I am so humbled and thankful.

Thank you Lilia!!!

 Here are the rules that must be followed upon receiving this award:

1) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.

2) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.

3) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.

4) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving.

 

 

So, without further adieu.....

 

1. I am honest....to a fault. I will almost always tell the truth...even if it hurts.

 

2. I hate blatant stupidity. There's no reason for it.

I don't even like stupid comedy like American Pie.

I just don't get it.

 

3.I love nursing! It's the only thing I ever wanted to do when I was little.

I believe that was the calling God gave me because I've been doing this

for almost fifteen years and I still love it.

 

4.Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday.

I'm a hopeless romantic I guess.

 

5. I hate infestations.

Two or less of any critter...I can deal with.

Three or more...my skin starts to crawl.

 

6. I prefer to sleep alone in bed.

I love my husband, but I truly enjoy

when he gets up early to go to work and I

can have the bed all to myself. :)

 

7.I am a professional patient.

I have a blood disorder and I have been

hospitalized 47 times in the last two years because of it.

 

8. I snort when I laugh.

I am normally this very composed person

but when I start to laugh, I sound like

the village idiot.

 

9.I've had a near death experience....twice.

Let's just say that almost dying

keeps things in perspective.

 

10. I am a nerd!

That's right...hardcore, book reading, knowledge hoarding nerd!

My high school letterman jacket was in...Academics.

My favorite TV channel is the History and Discovery channel.

I got it honest....

My grandmother graduated Valedictorian as did my father.

 

 

I would like to now pass on this award to seven blogs who continue

to inspire and amaze me with their

bloggy awesomeness (like that new word?)

every day.
