A Blog Award for ME??!!

What a great way to end the week!! Yesterday I opened my e-mail to discover that "The Real Housewife of Nowhere" selected Home Confetti for a "Versatile Blogger Award"! To me there is no greater honor than being recognized by one of your peers! Besides being my first recognition of any kind, this one means a lot because I really do try to make Home Confetti's content as diverse as possible. I try to feature tutorials, party theme ideas, crafts, recipes–and whatever else will add some fun (confetti!) to your home life. I am so grateful!

So, according to the "rules" I need to follow through on a few things:

• Thank and link back to the person who awarded you (check!)
• List seven random things about yourself (see below)
• Pass this on to at least 5 blogs that you have recently found and think are fabulous (see way below)
• Contact said bloggers and let them know they have been awarded The Versatile Blogger Award. (will do!)

Here are 7 random things about me:

1. I am addicted to Bravo's reality shows. I want Andy Cohen's job so I can interview all the insane cast members

2. My actual "day job" is working as a freelance marketing manager for Hearst Magazines

3. I am the oldest of three and definitely own the personality traits of being the oldest one (responsible, protective, organized, goal-oriented)

4. I am adamant about not being like my mother by using the good china and not saving it for just special occasions

5. I prefer white wine to red

6. I was in a bad ski accident years ago that shattered my tibia plateau. People still ask me about my scar.

7. My favorite color is purple

The five blogs I am passing this award onto; the ones that I feel showcase the "versatility" factor are:

Attention to Detail

Simply Creative Insanity

Make and Takes

Fun Favors

Divine Party Concepts
