a lil blog admiration award

My rad cousin Joslyn sent me an admiration award [aka "you make my day award"] today... Joslyn, you really are awesome and I really don't know what I would have done without you this last year of my life. i am so glad you [and bryan, audrey and millie] have become such an integral part of my life.

With that being said, I am goin to follow the rules of the "you make my day award" and award 5 blogs that I love, because I am glad they are part of my life too! They are constant inspiration.

Here are the rules from Mary-Laure:

1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make me think and/or make my day.
2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3. Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news.

Here are my winners:

1. Kelley .. i share this blog with her so naturally she gets the award. She is my friend my peer and constantly inspires/challenges me with her own creativity.
2. Gary at SprayGlue. I like his style and cool posts that he does that are always so different from everyone else out there!
3. emily of The Scoop. I always seem to identify with her style and the posts she puts up are always awesome. Plus the graphics her and her fellow blogmate Laura have created are simply stellar.
4. Joslyn of Simple Lovely, I am throwin this award right back at ya... for many reasons but one in particular, your blog rocks and keeps me inspired and on my game.
   
5. Suzanne Buchanan's blog an open [sketch]book, although we didn't know each other very well in school... your blog has become a part of my day. I love your sketches always and you are greatly inspiring. thank you!
