Awards, Awards!

Helen Ginger of Straight From Hel has awarded me the You Are My Sunshine Award. Thank you so much, Helen!

Valerie Valdes of As The Moon Climbs recently awarded me with both The Versatile Bogger and the One Lovely Blog Awards. Thank you for both, Valerie!

As some of you know, I've been knee-deep in writing and ignoring you all so I am begging forgiveness if I don't pass these on right away. I hope that you will visit both of these awesome blogs and enjoy them as much as I do.

Awards and More Awards

I have been honored with several awards lately, for which I am thankful to have people who care about me that way. I'm also feeling guilty because right now I don't have the time to follow the rules with them. I do want to say thank you to the wonderful people that bestowed them though.

First, I would like to thank Sam at Future; Nostalgic for the You Are My Sunshine Award.

Next thanks goes to Hope at Tartitude for the Creative Writer Blogger Award.


Thank you to Jon Strother at Mad Utopia for the Honest Scrap Award.

This award was also given to me by Estrella Azul at Life's a Stage but I talked her into putting it back in the freezer where she's skinning people arranging flowers.






Both the Quillfeather Award and the Best Blogging Buddies Award are from Michelle D Evans. She had a lovely way of passing them on. If you commented on her blog, you received them.

All of you are wonderful friends to me, more than you may realize. I hope that each person reading this blog will visit the sites listed above and know that you are deserving of any of these awards and freely add them to your own blogs. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being here.

Awards Day

I've been honored with two different awards in the last few days. Now it's my turn to pass them on.



I received the You Are My Sunshine Award from Michelle D Evans. The purpose of it is to acknowledge those that have a blog and spend endless hours ensuring that other bloggers get feedback on their blogs by leaving comments, adding themselves as a follower or dropping by just to let you know there are people out there. Thank you, Michelle!

Now to pass it on.

Eric Krause of Eric J Krause's Writing Spot
Alan Davidson of Conversations From Land's Edge




The Circle Of Friends Award came from both Christian Bell over at I'm Not Emilio Estevez and John Wiswell at The Bathroom Monologues. Thank you, Christian and John!

This one is to be passed along to five friends, which I always find difficult to limit the choices.

Lily Mulholland at Ten Seconds a Day
Maria Protopapadaki-Smith of Mazzz-in-Leeds
Sam at Future; Nostalgic
Karen Schindler at Miscellaneous Yammering
Michelle Evans at Michelle D Evans

Feel free to pass these on or not, but know that I am honored to pass them on to all of you.

You Are My Sunshine Award

I am honored to receive the You Are My Sunshine Award from fellow writer and FridayFlash enthusiast Michelle D Evans. I hope you will stop by and say hi to her.

The premise of this award is to acknowledge those that have a blog and spend endless hours ensuring that other bloggers get feedback on their blogs by leaving comments, adding themselves as a follower or dropping by just to let you know there are people out there.

I hope that I have lived up to that purpose, but I get so much more out of leaving comments and engaging in conversations. You see, Michelle lives in Australia and I live in the US. Chances are very slim that we would meet in person but, because of blogs, I have many wonderful friends like Michelle who live all over the world. It couldn't get any better than that.

Thank you so much, Michelle!
