"it's a major award!"

in the spirit of christmas movies i had to use that quote as the title!!!

{'a christmas story' is my 2nd favorite christmas movie of all time.}

now this little beauty was given to me by val.

it was a pleasant surprise.{thanks again val.}

the rules state that i get the pleasure of doing the following:

place the button on my blog.

link to who gave it to me.

nominate 5 blogs. {with links.}

& leave messages for those bloggers.

so with that being said...who am i gonna pick???

i love so many of yall's blogs.

{boo to picking...it's unfair...lol.}

but since i have to pick...here are my five:

#1:

allison at cluck. cluck. sew.
