Thank You!!

Sorry, but this is going to be a longer post than I usually do...brace yourself.....

About 2 weeks ago, I was thrilled to see that I was given an award from one of my favorite bloggers, Cristina Kowalczyk. I just adore her cards!!

To accept the award, I need to:

1. Thank the person who gave it. THANKS CRISTINA! :)

Now, since Cristina is on the DT for CASE Study, I thought it would be fun to CASE one of her cards! I was inspired by the simple beauty below.

And with some help from this week's colourQ palette, I made this:

(sentiment from SP and CO)

2. Post this award on your blog

3. List 3 things that you love about yourself. I am honest, a good friend, and I rock at Guitar Hero.

4. Post a picture that you love.

This picture was taken of me by my husband in Boston. I can't believe that I am about to admit this.....but I was cosplaying. Look it up if you don't know what it is! If you want to see more incriminating evidence confirming my geekiness (as well as pictures that are more in focus), you can go here. I chose this picture because I have so many wonderful memories of that day. Dave and I were both dressed up in costume, without a care of what others thought. We were skateboarding around the city, setting up fun pictures for each of us to take. We met in Boston in college, so being in the city is always pure happiness. I love living only 25 minutes away from our favorite place.
5. Tag 5 people to receive this award.

Although not necessary for the award, I decided to post one of my favorite cards from each of the bloggers I am choosing.
