Now that my homework is all done.....
I can take time to really appreciate the sweet awards given to me by Karen and Donna. This is my first time to receive awards and it feels really neat!! Thank you both.
Karen is the one responsible for getting me into this wonderful land of blog! She has been a friend for several years. A few months back she shared her blogsite with me. I just happened to be in a mood for exploration and experimentation and just sort of started writing and checking it all out. Since tax season ended and getting back to blogging a bit, I stumbled on the Brenda's photo challenge. After that first photo challenge I was hooked. I love checking in on my new blog friends and enjoy meeting new people. I met Donna through the photo challenge. She has a great blog and always includes uplifting thoughts in her blog and wonderful comments on my posts. Thanks again both of you!!
Now, I think I'm supposed to award 7 blog friends! Everyone has such great blogs it is difficult to choose.
My first nominee is Brenda at What's Up Down South. Brenda is the one who started the photo challenge fun. She is also a faithful blogger who shares her everyday life of family and adventures with all of us. I enjoy her southern style and just feel at home when visiting her blog.
Next I pick Cindra from Knits and Pics and Favorite Things. Cindra takes some really beautiful pictures and is a very creative lady. She is quite "crafty" and I enjoy seeing her creations. I guess I have to admit that I envy her a bit because I just don't have the time to do as much as she does.
My third nominee is Tabitha at Twinkle, Twinkle. She delights in her children and it is so much fun seeing their pictures and reading about their adventures. I'm also proud of her for sticking with her weigh lose program. Way to go Tabitha!!
Sally of Whispering Hope also receives an award. She is great at posting about memories and encourages me to remember the good things and people in my past. Her posts usually focus on family and relationships and it is very evident that she treasures her family.
Nonnie or Kimberly of Walk the Beach is my next recipient. She inspires and encourages those who visit her blog with a wide assortment of topics.
Jeanette from Net on the Net receives award number 6. She is a great photographer. I appreciate how she shares her daily adventures.
Jodie gets an award too for being a wife to a soldier and a mommy to a princess. Thank you for the sacrifices you make for my freedom. (And thank your husband, too)
The Rules: Put the logo on your blog. Put a link to me (who awarded it to you)(if you want) on your blog also. You need to nominate 7 other bloggers for the award and put links to them also on your blog. Finally, leave a comment for those you've nominated - so they know they've received a special award!
