i won, i won!

gina bina awarded me with an award. if i could nominate her right back, i surely would. gina is quite possibly the sweetest girl i know. who is a baking genius. who knows all the best online kid sources (and online anything sources for that matter). she's smart, fun, witty, and gosh dang it i really like her. so, thanks gina bina, it sure means a lot-especially coming from you! and, now to pass the award along to my top six Kreative Bloggers:

first up: alifinale, because she awarded me with an award a few weeks ago which i thought too ugly to put on my blog (not at all her fault. i think the award has been circulating since 1983 if you judge by the graphic. and i'm shallow, what can i say? image IS everything). so, to alifinale because she understands the importance of mashed potatoes and gravy at thanksgiving. also because she taught me the word "blog," and the rest is history. so...

amy D. whose kids seriously crack me up. every. single. post. especially olivia. that girl is cRAzY! she's a mass poster-she'll go weeks with nothing and then one morning you sign into reader and 'bam'! i just like these guys.

jewels who is quite possibly the most creative and funny girl i know. You should see the lengths she goes to just to invite people to parties, let alone the parties themselves! it's a family thing, her entire family is obsessed with halloween, holidays, and just being creative genius. and her husband is a firefighter, which although i think would be nervewracking, it's mostly just really hot (no pun intended).

julie because she reminds me that, although my hometown is a bizarre place (there's a goodwill and a nascar shop in our mall...), great people can still come out of it (other than me, of course!). she's funny, fresh, and adventurous. and she likes my dangly earrings; flattery is always nice.

holwonder. because she's the best SIL ever and she thinks i'm amazing because i know how to upload pictures to my posts. again, flattery is nice. she goes wild when it comes to gifting and she makes cookies nearly every time i come over. flattery, presents, and baked goods are even more nice.

and, lastly, lisset (fraggLe+monkEy+shysteR is her alias at the moment). because she's always good for a laugh. i love her honest blogging, her fresh outlook on things, and her cutest little E. i feel like we're basically the same person. only not. and she's funnier.

so there you have it. now pass it on...
