Woohoo! My First Award!

My friend Laurie from

Laurieanna's Vintage Home

awarded me with this cool
Kreative Blogger Award.
My first award!
Thanks Laurie!
I'm so honored!

I had the opportunity to meet this talented lady last spring when I
walked into her fantastic booth at First Monday Trade Days in Canton, TX.
I had actually gone to Canton to take something to this gal who was working
for Laurie.

When I walked into her booth......I was blown away!!!!

She had the "look" going on that I had envisioned for my house!
Anyway to make a long story short....We became friends and
I actually got to work in her booth with her and the other talented ladies
for a couple of months.

So I am very honored to receive this award from such a talented gal...

Soooooo now I'm supposed to tell 6 things that make me happy!

Since my blog is called Delighted Heart that should be easy!!!!

6 Things That Make Me Happy

1. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ....The King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Alpha and Omega....Beginning and End....Comforter....Redemeer....Deliverer and Friend. My life changed 12 years ago when I really met Him and made Him Lord of my life. John 10:10 says " I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly." I have abundant life and walk in Peace today because of Him.
2. My Hero, My Husband .....Married for over 32 years to my best friend. He's the most compassionate, caring, sweet, handsome, funny man, amazing father and Godly man I know. He always takes care of me. And that can sometimes be a pretty big job!
3. My Kids .....I have the most amazing kids! A daughter, a daughter-in-law. a future daughter-in-law and 2 sons. All of them love the Lord and minister His love in their workplace everyday. We always have a hilarious time when we get together. I can't wait for this Christmas with them!
4. My Sister-In-Law ....Although I've known her for 24 years, it's only been over the past 8 months, I've come to really know her kind heart and sweet spirit. We talk and laugh on the phone every day. I can't wait to see what God has planned for her life. I never had a sister (always wanted one)....until now!
5. My Pastors and Church Family .....We have learned sooo much from these sweet people. "Teaching people how to win in life." The best teaching can be heard here.
6. Being Creative .....working in my element makes me happy which usually means I'm doing something for someone else! Giving away the gift God has placed in me makes me happy!
7. Reading All Your Blogs! Alright, I know this is # 7 but I just had to include it! .....You all have inspired me to blog!

I would like to nominate the following 6 blogs for a

Kreative Blog Award.......

1. Sparkled Life....my fabulous friend!
2. ChikNite....girls just wanna have fun!
3. Notes From A Cottage Industry...inspiring!
4. Warm Pie, Happy Home.....great pie, great home!
5. Bakerella.... cute cupcake pops!
6. Adventures of Elizabeth....beautiful!

Thanks again Laurie for the award!

I am delighted!!!!

From my delighted heart to yours....

Patti
