Johanna, Bev and Chriss-were both super sweet and nominated me for the Arte Y Pico award-which means Art & More award. ( I know someone else nominated me and I’m SO SORRY! Remind me who it was and I will link you). I need to tag 5 people but the first one really touched my heart today, as did one of my friends.
I would like to tag-
1) Dawn Bryson She is so talented and she touched my heart when she told me she is doing a walk for Down Syndrome!! The walk this Saturday! It is called the Buddy Walk. Check it out! There is one in my area every year in October. If you want to support that cause, go to her blog and make contact with her to donate :D. How amazing of people to give back in their free time. I LOVE IT!
*On that note-I wanted to share one of my best friend’s Tracey (aka cuccicoo1002 on SCS), is taking her daughter Shannon to donate her hair to Locks of Love today! Their area newspaper is going to run an article about it, and it will feature Shannon, before and after, as well as info about Alexa (since she was why Shannon thought to donate her hair-Can we give a collective AWE!!! How sweet!).
It truly amazes me how I believe God took a awful situation in my life, and brought so much good from it. Alexa’s life has truly touched so many, and brought so much good out of other people. I knew when it happened, there must be a greater purpose. For that, I am thankful, Alexa was a instrument, used to help bring so many other people together, raise awareness and touch lives in innumerable ways. More so, I am thankful that God has allowed her to fight this horrible disease head on. It’s hard to complain about things when Alexa goes through some tough stuff, and still has a great attitude (minus the steriod week-LOL) and a smile on her face.
She has also defied many of the “LABEL’S” people with Down Syndrome are associated with. I believe it is because she is a fighter, and I expect the same of her, as my other two children. I do what I can to push her to reach for the stars! I am so proud of her, I can’t even tell you. I know she has moment’s and somethings need work, but over-all, she is just an amazing human being. I wish I could get in he head for one day.
2) I would also like to nominate my friend Bee-She visits me daily, and we chat. She cracks me up. She has a son Noah, who has Autism. I think she is an amazing person, and mother! I don’t think she gives herself enough credit. So Bee-big cyber hug! She makes some pretty cute stuff too!!
3) Next up is Bobbie. OMG! She leaves me the funniest comments and always makes me feel like I’m a super star! I don’t know what it is, but she is just the cheeriest person I ahve ever NOT met! LOL!
4) Now we have Robyn. Robyn is a SAHM to 5 children. That ALONE amazes me. From what I can tell she is still sane! I go INSANE most days by 3pm, and I only have 3. That is why I do my posts in the MORNING! LOL! Maybe she needs to teach me her secret! Anyway, all that and she is a Cricut Wiz!! You should see some of the stuff this girl pumps out with that thing. They need to hire her 😀 I also love that she still makes time for herself! That is so important.
5) Last but not least, I want to nominate Sharon. She is the brain behind A Chemistry With Paper. She is so talented, and has some amazing stamp sets! I did work for her for a short time, but had to cut back on some of my responsibilities. She was so super sweet to me, and so nice about me leaving. I admire her so much. She raised her boys on her own, and they seem to have turned out so great. I was so sad to say goodbye to her and ACWP a few months ago, but I am going to be a happy customer!
MORE NOMINATIONS

I dont know if I have anything else! LOL!
1) I hate veal, liver, and the thought of eatting lamb.
2) I am not into “texting” and all that. I an a TALKER, so if I want to say something, Id rather call ya! Although I love emailing and all that stuff.

What a sweetie you are Lauren! I not only love your blog for you awesome creative works of art, but also for your upbeat bubbly “chit chat” about life and people. Every morning (sometimes later if the twins are having a rough morning) I sit and drink my coffee and read your blog. It gets my day off to a happy start! Can’t wait to see what you post today, but I am still drooling over your “Queen of Clean”! She is soooo adorable! LOVE it!
Lauren…We have participated in the Buddy Walk in Kansas City too! The kids love it and they usually get to meet some of the Kansas City Chiefs football players….Like Tony Gonzales!! My kids also attend one of the Elementary schools in town that has a special needs program! I love that they are apart of these chileren’s lives everyday! My son, who is in 4th grade, found out that Jessica (a girl with Cerebral Palsy) was going to be in his class again this year and you’ll never guess what he said! He said, “Mom, I must be the luckiest kid in the school to have Jessica in my class again this year!” That just about brought me to tears!! Also some good friends of our adopted a little girl with Downs Syndrome! They got her right from the hospital. She is 7 now and she sure is a pistol, but life wouldn’t be the same without her! I’ve had the privilege of having her in Sunday School and the Cubbies Awana class. Alexa sure has been through a LOT for a young lady but God never makes mistakes! It might just be what he uses to bring more people to Himself!! Love ya girl! Have a wonderful Day!!

It was me who nominated you!! You always inspire me with your unique and wonderful creations 🙂 Jo xx
CONGRATULATIONS, you deserve them all!!
That is a VERY interesting list. When I saw you didn’t like shoes I thought we would have to sever our friendship, you redeemed yourself by adding pockebooks, LOL!!!
I think I’m a close relative to Imelda Marcos. All I can wear now are f-l-a-t-s (boring)! When I look at heels I feel pain, pain, pain, like the stabbing music they play in scary movies.
TFS.
I was laughing….#7! Making lists is something I do too. I am in love with my lists!
And they are everywhere. And I like talking on the phone too. I will not purchase texting for my daughter. If it is good enough to be typed, it is good enough to be said out loud.
I caught a girl texting during CHURCH!!!! :0
I just about fell over when I read your blog today!! I am sitting here in shock. WOw, me an award, my cards are not even that good…. WOw, I feel like I was just given an award from a super star (and yes you are a superstar!!) Thank you so much. I did not tell you about the buddy work to raise awareness about my blog, so, please don’t think that is what I was doing. I think there is a way to make donations on the website….www.itsallaboutdoug.org. Have a Fantastic day!!!!

Hi Lauren! How sweet of you to nominate me for an award. You know I love your blog and enjoy reading about all the things going on in your life. Reminds me of myself when I was your age…in to everything! lol Like I’m not now! Thanks again for the award. (I did notice the link to ACWP is not correct…spelled chemistry wrong…oops!)
Oh Lauren, You are so sweet to nominate me!! ♥ 😀
Here I was, getting teary eyed reading about Alexa and your motherly love, when BAM I get an award!!… You make my day so often, I’m really glad (and touched!) that you enjoy our chit-chat, I sure enjoy it too! 😀
And you know you’re my favorite blog and my craft “mentor”, so I would nominate you too!! 😀
Awww… thanks for mentioning me… I feel HONORED!! hehehe You are sooo funny, I love your ramblings. Makes me feel like I’m not alone out there HA!
Have you been to my blog lately? If not you might want to stop by and see what kind of mess Gman has gotten himself into. He’s Such a BOY!! ARRRGGGHHH!!
Sometimes I wish I could just dress him up in girly clothes and that would get him to act like one lol. Wouldn’t that be scary in public?! I don’t think my hubby would let me do that so I guess he’s safe. Sigh… I’ll have to think of something else.
Hugs to ya girlfriend. And keep up the creative work!
Bobbie 🙂
WELCOME to the team! You are gonna have so much fun! I LOVE all of your cards on your blog they all ROCK! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next with the stamps!
