And the award goes to...

Wow, I'm totally speechless! One of my very most favorite bloggers, Mary, tagged me for a Thinking Blogger Award! Mary, thank you so much! I'm so honored that Mary would consider me a blog that makes her think especially since I have only been doing this about a month or so. Check her out at Oh Merci. She has a beautiful space. So, the rules are to pass this on to 5 blogs that make me think. Mary definitely is one but since she already received the award from Shabby in the City, hmm...

First up is Mari Robeson Style. Mari has truly been an inspiration to me. She has helped me get back in touch with my crafty side. She is a truly wonderful friend and her blog has some great home style advice. She introduces her readers to some really unique and fun things.

Second is another Karla, Karla Nathan at Karla's Cottage. Karla is a very talented individual, just head over to her blog to see some of the many projects she is working on. She truly can take trash and make it a richly appointed treasure! She is also an author and has written many wonderful articles.

Third is Heidi over at Everday Cookies at Sweet Woodruff Acres. Heidi has a wonderfully delightful blog that is always a joy to read and is one of the very first blogs I came across. Heidi has been very welcoming to me since I began this wonderful blogging journey.

Fourth is Karin presiding over Creative Chaos. Karin is not only an extremely talented artist, her posts are witty and clever and make you think.

Last but not least is Miz Smoochie Lips. Miz Smooch is hilarious. She really has a knack for writing and it is hard not to become addicted (in a very good way) to her blog once you read it!

So there you go, ladies, please pass this honor on to your top 5 thinking blogs. It was so hard to select, I have to say that every single blog that is listed on the side makes me think and I love to visit all of you if not everyday, several times a week!
