Stephanie and her handsome boy, Sinatra.
And finally the last award - this one is also from Nikki Rowe of nikkinikkinikki72.blogspot.com. (Don't forget to check out her blog!)
The title of this award translates to say "This Blog is a Dream". According to the blog where (I believe) it first originated: yaracassiano.blogspot.com, it is a gift for beautiful and creative blogs: those that "enchant, captivate, or sweep with extraordinary beauty."

This lovely blog certainly is a dream for all you cowgirls and cowgirls-at-heart out there. You're going to love every bit of it!
There are horse stories... That's Phoenix on the left - he's 32 years old and still going strong! And the sweet girl lying down in her saddle is Piper.
...And lots of adorable bunnies. On Heart of a Cowgirl every Sunday is Bunny Sunday!
And somehow amid all her adventures as a cowgirl, Bridget still has the time for some beautiful jewelry! Love those bunnies!
11. Eleven?! I know, the rules said to pass this award on to ten dream blogs, but I just discovered a new blog I had to share: teostudio.blogspot.com. Just as I thought I had finished this post, I saw the most lovely journal (below) in an Etsy Finds email. I love old books, so of course I headed over to Teo's shop and as always I checked for a blog. Her journals are gorgeous - I can see my old, well-read Lord of the Rings wrapped lovingly in one of her vintage covers!
Enjoy all the blogs and have a wonderful day!
Here are a couple of her own designs - she's always creating something new.
Seven Facts About Myself:
1. Fall is my favorite season. I love those grey days when flocks of migrating birds gather in the treetops and the vibrant autumn leaves take flight on the cool breezes - I could easily spend all day in the woods collecting leaves and listening to them drift through the branches to the ground.
2. I love fine detail - the smaller the better!
3. When working on a new design, I'll spend weeks just planing before beginning the actual work and once started I let it take as long as it needs to be perfect.
4. My favorite country sound - crickets chirping.
5. I love baking homemade bread. I use a lot of my own recipes and nearly every day there's something homemade coming fresh out of the oven - oat bread, flax/wheat rolls, lemon glazed rolls, bagels, crescents, cinnamon rolls, sourdough bread... the list goes on and on. Believe it or not I'm terrible at ready-bake breads - just the other day I baked Pillsbury crescents - they were awful!
6. My absolute favorite color is orange, but when it comes to my art I usually stick to browns, with an occasional bit of green and only hints of more vibrant colors like orange and fuchsia.
7. The color I find hardest to create with is blue.
