I got the Stylish Blogger Award...and now will you!

I woke up this morning and saw a comment on my last image, in which Doreen from "My Reflections As I Shutter Along" informed me that I got the Stylish Blogger Award. I was very surprised and honored that she choose me. Thanks again for that Doreen! If you don't know her blog make sure to check it out. She has some great stuff on it and a great eye for photography. My task now is to give this award to other people. Bloggers I like and think deserve this. I can only give out 15, even though I follow many great blogs (In that regard, check out my blog roll! All great blogs). I also have to say 7 things about myself. 

There are four steps to follow that come along with this award.

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers. (Although I will be bending this rule to all blogs i follow)

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

Here are the blogs I give this award to:  

1. A Vermont Girl - Memoirs and Photography 

Without Heather my blog wouldn't be as stylish as it is now. :) She is always available for handing me tips and tricks on design and code. Her blog is always a treasure chest of images and stories I like to read. 

2. The Dusty Cellar Shoots - Photography by Rebecca

Really talented photographer! She knows how to make a frame interesting, how to play with colors and how to present her images in the best way possible. I love visiting her blog and checking out her latest work.

3. Barnyards and Barnacles - An American Photo Journey

Really great images from Sunny. You can feel the authenticity and real life behind them, which I always like. Her other blog worth mentioning is "Life with Lucy". Really cute blog for those who love dogs!

Another blog from the heart of America and real life experiences.  You can feel the love for stories and photography in every post, and that's why i like the blog so much.
