AWOL

I admit it. I've been remiss in my blogging duties. I'm sorry but I do have an excuse.


Apart from work, I've been organising a trip so MONT and I can attend a wedding. In Ireland. In June. Yes I know, it's a long way to go but we said we would so, we are.

The timing isn't perfect for us, seeing we'll only be returning from another trip in early May, but that's just the way it goes I guess. One part of the timing that is perfect though is that I'll be able to catch up with a girlfriend who'll be there at the same time. She lives in Sydney and I haven't seen her since our wedding, six years ago....but she'll be in southern Ireland at exactly the same time as us. Amazing huh?

Anyway, that's what I've been up to.

On another note, I have a big thank you for Amanda at Homely One
Amanda emailed me to tell me she'd given me an award. AN AWARD! The SUNSHINE AWARD!

The rules of the award are:

1.Put the logo on your blog or in a post
2.Pass the award on to 12 fellow bloggers
3.Link to the nominees within your post
4.Let them know they have received it by leaving a comment for them
5.Share the love and link to the person who gave you the award

So I'm following the rules and doing what I'm asked of.

Now to my 12 fellow bloggette's who I'll also pass this award onto.
I have quite a few blogs that I list on the right hand side of my blog, but to be honest, I don't check all of them every single day.

There are a few that I do though, and that's because I really love them. They aren't all about decor or decorating with white.... but the one thing they do all have in common is that they brighten my day. I feel like I know their authors because they make me feel as though they are inviting me into their lives and homes.

Can't get any better than that

So, here are some of the blogs that make me feel like I'm home:
2. Mimi at Mimi Charmante
3. Rose at Able Mae
5. Karen at Cavania
6. Brismod at Fun and VJ's
7. Tina at Rubies Place
8. White Dove at White Dove
9. Kitchen Hand at What I Cooked Last Night
10. Millie at The Laurel Hedge
11. Stacey at Stacey Snacks
12. Michelle at Michelle Made This

I hope you all enjoy your awards...and I have to say Thank You to everyone who makes me feel welcome into their lives and blogs.

  11. I just got to your blog through arlee. Congratulations on your award. And your planned travels to Ireland. I have a table top photo book of Ireland and a picture of Dublin on my vision board. It has always been a dream of mine to get there one day. But in the meantime, I can experience virtual travels via others. Happy travels!
