Oh I am so honored that you nominated me!! Thank you my dear!! I love tulips too – when I was little, I made everyone call me “Purple Tulip” instead of Heidi… hehehe! Someday I will make it to the Netherlands…
Heidi, I love your blog! It is so real, honest and warm. Your personality shines through your words and pictures. Keep doing what you’re doing because it is awesome! 🙂
Aww, thanks for the nomination, Sibella!
Korena, I like your blog a lot! Your posts are interesting and creative. Photos are beautiful! 🙂
Oh, Sibella, you are just too kind and sweet to nominate me for this award:) *blush* I love tulips as well.. as you can tell from my blog, but I really, really love your little puppy.. Milo is adorable! xoxo Smidge
ps I’m slow to follow-up with awards, now that I’m back at work I can’t blog as often.. so be patient with me!
Smidge, Milo is such a sweet and cute dog and super smart. We also have a chihuahua-Minnie. She is very feisty! You should see how Milo calms her down, so cute! 🙂
No worries about following up! I work full time too and it’s just hard to squeeze in everything I plan to do…
Thanks for the nomination Sibella! Things have been crazy aroundmy way as you’ll see in my most recent post. I need to catch up on all my blog reading, and good luck with the new blog!
You are most welcome! 🙂 I was already starting to worry what’s happening with the baker guy! 😀 Wishing you well!
Sibella

My sister lives in Ludington, right on the Lake Michigan coast. Are you near? I sure miss the sand dunes, 101 flavor icecream and the laid back life of Upper Michigan. Take care, BAM
We live in Northern Indiana, not right on the beach but a short drive away. We spend a lot of time on the beach and just love, love, love it! 🙂
