Blog Candy and Blog Award

Hello! It's not that I've been a Bad Blogger...I have just been super busy with the birth of the twins. I have been meaning to post this since Sunday and this is the first opportunity I have had to do it...Sorry Carri! My good blogger friend Carri is offering some awesome blog candy good thru August 14th...click here for details.

She also passed along this Cherry On Top Award. I can't thank her enough for thinking of me.

The rules in accepting this award are:

1. you must thank the person who passed it on to you
2. copy award to your blog
3. list three (3) things you love about yourself
4. post a picture that you love on your blog
5. pass the award on to five (5) others

The 3 things I love most about myself is---
1) I try to find good in everyone
2) I'd take great joy in giving rather than receiving
3) I consider my family my 1st priority

Here is my favorite picture. It is a picture of our Maltese, Charlee. We rescued her from a puppy mill breeder the night before Hurricane Charley hit Orlando, August 2004 (hence her name). She was 1 1/2 years old and had already had 2 litters. Since they had to do a C-section and needed to be spayed, the owner had no use for her anymore. While we didn't get her at a bargain price, she is probably one of the best bargains we have gotten and has given us so much joy. The previous owner has no idea what she was giving up. She doesn't like strangers but she is a sweet dog and loves her Mama!

I'm suppose to pass it along to 5 others. It's always so difficult for me to choose, I am truly blessed to have so many blogger friends, each and everyone of you bring a smile to my face so please...feel free to take the award and put it on your blog! I will ask that you list the 3 things that you love about yourself and post your favorite picture, as a way to get to know you better.
