I'd like to thank the Academy...

For this lovely award from Kenzie over at 9 o'clock dance of joy!


Kenzie has been a great inspiration to me to continue to craft and create despite all the chaos and busy-ness of life. Thanks, Kenzie!

And now, I get to spread this bit of sunshine to five other bloggers I love! I'd like to give this award to:

Sarah @ Dead Class Pets: Her adventures in the classroom are always good for a laugh! I love reading about all the crazy things her kids say!

Nancy @ Nancy Teaches: I've just discovered Nancy's blog recently, and her thoughts and reflections on teaching and learning are always inspiring!

Alicia @ A Beautiful Mess: She's a photographer, a mom, and an entertaining writer! She's got something for everyone -- from beautiful recipe cards to organizing tips.

Jenny @ Elementary, My Dear, or Far From it: Her passion for education and for her students is contagious! And we seem to think alike on lots of different levels. I can always count on a good read from her blog!

Teresa @ Blooming on Bainbridge: She's happy, peppy, and outgoing! And her blog reflects her personality so beautifully! Her love-of-life attitude is both refreshing and contagious!

So what are you waiting for? Go check these ladies out!
