Bloggy Bling!

Missy over at Bees and Boos gave me this lovely award yesterday:

And she didn’t even know a mi me gusta mucho hablar espanol.  It’s so exciting.  Thank you, Missy.  (I know I’m missing some accents and that twirly thing that goes over the “n”, but seriously, people, I’ve just figured out how to get bloggy bling on my blog.  These things take time.)
Here’s what the award is for:
“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”
It’s my pleasure to pass the award on to these eight bloggers, who make me laugh, or think, or cry, on a regular basis:

It’s a Contest! You Could Win! (Or Me, I Could Win, Too!)

With names like Carmelized Pralines and Christmas Splendor, how could you not want to win one (or two!) of these candles?

As I was checking out the tweets of my peeps earlier today, I saw that my blogging friend Jenny over at Daily Dose of Motherhood was having a contest.
You all know I like to win, so I popped over to see what she had up for grabs.  Turns out, Jenny and her husband own a candle-making company, Harmony Grove, and she’s giving a couple away.
I’m planning to win them, of course, but you’re welcome to visit Jenny and join the fray.  Just be sure to sign in with my name.
On a completely different note…
My house already smells like cinnamon today, which is why I didn’t opt to win the “Cinnamon Bun” scent.  And when I head to the grocery, I’m sure people will suspect I’ve killed someone this morning, because my fingers may be permanently stained red:

But not to worry.  I promise – no killing was involved.  Just hot hard tack candy, cinnamon oil, red food coloring, and scissors.
