Gee Thanks!

Special thanks to my sweet friend, Summer at The Crooked Curve for giving me this delightful award! What a fun way to finish off a super-crazy day. I heart her blog, too!
And do you know how I came to find her blog? Well, let me just tell you...
We were at Girls' Camp and I just knew that she looked familiar. Since I knew that I would remember meeting a girl with a beautiful name like Summer, my only other reason for knowing her would be if I happened to have seen her in BlogLand. So I asked her if she had a blog, and she confirmed that she did! Strange, don't you think? I was a lurker on her blog. :)
Anyway, you have to stop by because she is an amazing baker and has such delicious looking things that I am always meaning to try. Check out yesterday's Orange Juice Cake recipe. Scrump-dilly-icious, I am sure. I am trying it this weekend!
Wow, a quick re-read let me know that I sure was rambling!

Imagine my surprise to find a totally sweet award on my blog after a horrendous Monday that WOULD NOT END!

Thanks Holly! You are a sweetie. I am honored.

Spread the Love!

This week I received this wonderful award from Nancy!



Thanks so much! I am glad that my little blog brightens the day of more people than just myself! I named my blog 'Sunny Side Up' to help myself to see the warm and sunny side of life. It has really helped me, and I hope that you feel the sunshine when you stop by.

Blog Bling!

Okay, so imagine my surprise when I found out that I was given an award for my blog! Wow.

Holly over at 2KidsandTired who gave me this award, said that my posts, 'always make me smile.' I am so glad. I am usually smiling when I post. Thanks, Holly!!

I named my blog Sunny Side Up because I want to concentrate on the funny, sweet, sunny sides of life.

Well, today, I couldn't seem to muster any sunshine. Do you ever have one of those days?
So I plugged off to my blog and received this very welcome blessing! The Lord really is good to us. He meets our needs and tells us He loves us through his other children.

A little ray of sunshine in an otherwise murky day--

And now to pass it along!

Well, there are many blogs that I consider 'treasures.' I'd like to pass along this particular award to Rochelle for keeping it real- and doing it with style and charm, Chanda for the fun and laughs and the great craftiness and to Casey for her faith and strength and sweet spirit.

I look forward to each and every blog post from all of my Blogging Buddies!
