This past Monday, Jaime of Lyrical Journey has kindly awarded me with the “I Heart Your Blog Award” =) Her blog is the kind where you can just read, sit back and relax, and listen to the soundtrack of her life. For every post that she makes, it has a soundtrack that accompanies it. It’s pretty cool! It’s like listening to the song of the day. From the way she writes, I could tell that she’s a very sweet, smart, fun, and caring lady. I love love love what she wrote yesterday ~ “True success is living the life you love and not striving for the world’s idea of success. If I spend my life occupied with the things that bring my joy, what the rest of the world thinks or says won’t particularly matter.”

Thank you Jamie for passing along this award to me, I’d love to pass this back to you but I know you want me to share the love. Now it’s my turn to pass along this award to five blogs, which is difficult since I go through lots of blogs, when I’m not that busy that is lol =)

♥ Tammy Lee of The Blogging Bradleys – I love how her blog is reflected on her everyday life – her home, her kids, her dogs, her finds. Her photos are so beautiful and so real, I feel like I’m ready to pat her dogs, or eat the snack she prepared, or grab the antique cameras that she just found and test them. It’s like within reach. I love her haikus a lot! It adds a very poetic finish to her photos. She is such an inspiration and I find her to be very creative and light-hearted. She also founded Mortal Muses. I love the everyday stories of the muses and the different featured photos of talented photographers. And oh, you have to check out her Cabinet Cottage website. She has gorgeous kitchen cabinetry, it’s a must-see!

♥ Kim Klassen of The Inspiration-Studio – I learn a lot of things from her blog, be Photoshop tutorials or finding textures or about being kind. Her blog is filled with inspiration and a lot of goodness written all over it. She is very creative and actually she creates very gorgeous textures that can add some drama to your photos =)

♥ Tracey of Tracey Clark – I find her very talented and creative too. I would love to join her classes/workshops someday, perhaps Picture Fall – I’m not sure how to make time for this, but I really want to do this. I love the daily muses of her life on her blog. She’s also the founder of ShutterSisters – where you find beautiful stories and you can share your shots.

♥ Ashley of Ramblings and Photos – She has all the challenges to keep you working on your photography passion day-by-day. I will admit that I’ve only done her In a Yellow House Photo Challenge but I wish I had more time everyday to do more coz they seem so fun. It’s very nice of her to share her time and photos everyday to the whole blogosphere.

♥ Brooke of Brooke Martin Photography – I love reading through her stories and everyday journey on her blog. She takes very beautiful pictures and has great perspective. This mommy has been busy with photo sessions lately, way to go! I plan to meet up with her sometime when our schedule allows us to since we live just a city away from each other.

I wish I could give this award to more than 5 bloggers since there are a lot of cool blogs out there. Also, I actually do follow several wedding blogs, see my sidebar, they keep me inspired; and yes the list will just keeps growing. I’m sure that this award will eventually get passed on to the rest of the awesome bloggers out there.

Leaving you with a photo I took yesterday and a quote to go with it. I heart you. So what are you waiting for!?Go ahead and check out the blogs that I just listed, I’m sure you will love them ♥
