Guest Blog With a Monster Freebie!

I was thrilled an honored last week over and over. First I won a Versatile Blogger Award from a sweet follower.  Then I was contacted to be a guest blogger for Stephanie at .  Guest blogging was a little  scary, but I was happy with the results and you'll want to check this blog out!

 Finally, I got a One Sweet Blog Award from a favorite new blogger:

Carole at Kindergarten Cafeteria has wonderful insights to share about education. I enjoy going back and reading what
she has to say.  You will, too! Thank you, Carole!
I just wrote a post with seven random facts about me. I'm not sure I can come up with seven more but here goes a try: 1. I'm reading a great book called The Maze Runner. 2.  I live walking distances to the beautiful Lake Michigan. 3.  My first teaching job was in St. Louis, Mo...Home of the Cardinals!  4.  I love sewing. 5. I love watching the flowers in my garden grow until the deer eat them. 6. I went to the Cerulean Warbler Festival a couple weeks ago...Fabulous! 7. I don't like bare-feet. To see the beautiful award scroll down a little and check it out under "My Proudest Moments" I bet you'd like one, too!  I'm giving this award out to the blessed bloggers who have been following along with the Book-Study, In Pictures and In Words by Katie Ray Woods.  Here are the rules:

• Thank the person/people who nominated you and link back to them in your post.
