    InstaGrammy Awards | House Of Hawthornes Style

    Published by Pam Kessler | 334 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 17 Comments

    I know you'll all be watching the 2017 Grammy Awards tonight, so I thought I'd share with you my top picks for the Grammy Awards.

    InstaGrammys that is.

    Oh, and I'm the only one nominated. Kanye is going to have a fit!

    The Grammy Awards for Instagram aka the InstaGrammys is where I showcase my top photos from Instagram this year and give myself a trophy or two.

    I've been doing this for a few years and just pick the top 10 or so photos I've posted to Instagram. If you're not following me on Instagram , what are you waiting for.

    So grab a bottle of wine and your slinkiest party dress and let's get this party started.

    2017 InstaGrammy Awards

    Happiest Photo Not Involving Puppies

    (from my tutorial for Lemon And Rosemary Natural Room Scent)

    Cruelest Photo

    (I didn't realize when I took this that his leg was stuck on the bush and he couldn't fly away - I just thought it was neat that he was "letting" me take lots of up-close photos of him).

    Best Banana Bread Known To Man. Or Woman.

    (from my recipe called Banana Bread - This Ain't Your Mama's Recipe)

    Best Humiliation Of A Ceramic Cow Creamer

    (from my post Caring For Air Plants (Tillandsia))

    Best Use Of Casually Thrown/Strategically Placed Boots

    (from Fall Decor In The Entryway And More)

    Best Use Of Disproportionately Sized Props

    (where is Godzilla?)

    Best Antique Mall Purchase EVER

    (from The Things You Find At An Antique Mall)

    Best Photo Taken From Standing On A Ladder,  Leaning Over And Not Falling On My Head

    Best Try At Suffocating A Turkey

    (it worked, he hasn't moved since)

    (from Vintage Thanksgiving Turkey Decor)

    Best Example Of A Feather Obeying Commands To Sit Still

    Best Example Of Something Being Both Patriotic And Sad

    (from my post titled appropriately Memorial Day Flags)

    Best Use Of A Window Screen Without A Window Being Involved

    (from Christmas Porch Decorations)

    Are you going to be watching tonight? How many trophies do you think Adele it going home with?

    Or do you think it's going to be a Beyonce sweep (she is carrying twins and all)?

      Pam, you are so funny! I mean hilarious, not odd!

      I am really oblivious to all the award shows and most of the famous people from the last ten years, at least! Does this make me a boring person, hopelessly out of touch with the world I live in?? Possibly, but you know what? I don't care! I really think most of these "stars" dress rediculously, behave outrageously and have a minimal amount of talent. Except maybe Beyonce whose singing I rather like--in small doses. Boy, does she not know what she's in for, having twins! My daughter and her twin boys, age six, identical, live with me at present and caring for and keeping track of them is not for the faint-hearted, I'll tell you! Of course, Beyonce will have a lot of help, so she'll be alright.

      Anyway, the photos and comments were very entertaining and fun. Thanks for the light-hearted post!

      Pam you rock woman! I seriously loved this entire post, cannot begin to pick a favorite because you're so clever and funny and quite the amazing photographer. Very impressed you didn't fall off that ladder although I've had the same thought myself.

      Defiinite winners and most enjoyable. I won't be watching the Grammy show to avoid political posturing by celebs. Happy Valentine's Day!

      The IstaGrammys would be a welcome relief from all the Beyoncé, Kardashian, and political junk going on right now. Thanks for all you do - love your blog!

          I also have to add that I am over the necklines that go to the navel and the hemlines that end at the same place. All of these awards shows seem to give everyone an excuse to see how little skin they must cover before it is deemed indecent. I wonder if there were any wardrobe malfunctions last night.
