Sharing the Love Award

Sharing the Love Award
I am deeply honored that sweet Kim of Homesteaders Heart bestowed me with a Sharing The Love award last week. She decided to share the award with her most faithful commenters. I discovered Kim’s cheerful blog through the Brenda’s Photo Challenges. She has a refreshingly honest “voice” in her writings, and she has amused me on many occasions. So I have started to make of habit of visiting her blog and cheering her on. Thank you so much, Kim!

This award originated from Memoirs of a Mommy. (I recommend that everyone visit this blog and learn about the origin of the award. It is a wonderful story.) The rules for sharing the love are simple: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with the blogs out there that you love. The people who make you smile, who make you laugh, who make your day, who leave uplifting comments for you! She simply asks you to leave a link to her post with the award, and ask your recipients to do the same.

I appreciate all of many blogging friends so much, and it is truly hard to pick just a few of you. Your loving comments lift my spirits, and you regularly applaud my ramblings and photographic efforts. Thank you for visiting with me and making blogging fun!

Without further ado, I am passing the award on to these wonderful, loving gals!

  4. Awww, thank you, Sally! I try hard to keep my blog cheerful and uplifting, even when I don't feel that way myself, LOL. Thank you for the good wishes. Last week was a bit tumultuous, and I haven't have a chance to share what is going on here at the homestead. Hopefully, things will settle out this week better.

  10. Thank you so much for the award! I truly appreciate it. I'm always amazed that anyone would comment on my blog, much less award it! lol

    I appreciate our new friendship - this whole blogging thing has given me so many news friends and opportunities. It's always good to know you've "connected" with someone, isn't it?

    Congratulations on receiving this and thank you very, very much for passing it on to me. :)
