Sep. 29, 2007~ You Make Me Smile and She thinks Im a Star ~
My friend Lori surprised me with the Blogging Star award. Thank you so much ! YOU for sure a Blogging Star in my
book.
Lori aka MiryClay had to say about the award.... Heidi doesn't know where this award originated from, so we don't know the rules that go along with it. However, when I think of a star blogger...I'm picturing bloggers that put out a lot of entries a day, chuck full of information that will benefit others, people that make blogging so much fun. I glean from all of my blog friends....whether it be for laughs, encouragement, homeschooling advice, or just simply friendship.
PlainJane( for her sharing about Heart of Wisdom how to's) Socalval ( for her links too !)
Then....
I have been SO blessed by Lori , Jane and Angela with this honored Award. Thank you so much for thinking of me. I cherish it that you thought of me. Blessings and (((HUGS))) my SS'sIC.
This is what the person that created this award says about it:
"The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell, and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with.
I want to pass this on to (ten x 3) SS'sIC....
My boys... bugboy, OrangeKnight, Sleeper, Eonamcil
My sweet SSiC Bobbie gave me this VERY honorable award. Thank you Bobbie. ((BIG HUG)) You are the best mirror twin a girl could ever have !
I have tried to keep " my words as sweet as honey". ( as I would instruct my sons to do) If it be sharing on my blog or leaving encouraging words on my SS'sIC blogs. Now I get to give it to five gals that have words that are sweet as honey.
I award ....
Carol from ThreeLittleLadies~ for she is my oldest friend here in blogland. She has constantly given me such wonderful words of encouragement. I got to meet here IRL ( in real life) and what you see on her blog is who she IS.
WithHim4ever~ has been such a blessing to me the last month. We are teaching the 1st year of Heart of Wisdom and I get to encourage each other along the way this year. I love when I find SSiC that we get to pray for each other. Plus her ((Brazilian Hugs)) would melt anyones .
jenn4him~ has been a contant encourager for me. I love all her good mornings and good nights and all the notes in between. She can be silly or serious and I just love her to bits.
acceptancewithjoy~ is another long time blog friend. She is someone who gets me thinking and leaves such deep and encouraging notes when she visits. I love following along her adoptions journey. She has been a big blessing.
JulieAnne~ is a new friend. I am so encourage by this Southern Gal to this Northern Gal ( me ) . I just feel so loved when she leaves me notes on my posts or cbox. She is such a encouragement with her devotionals on her blog.
The gal who made and started this award said that if you received the Thinking Blogger Award you can replace this with it. B/c the TBA was not started from a very Christ like minded frame of mind. I had personally changed mine for that reason. The reason for The Blogger Reflection Award is to reflect on five bloggers who have been an encouragement, a source of love, impacted you in some way, and have been a Godly example to you. Five Bloggers who when you reflect on them you get a sense of pride and joy... of knowing them and being blessed by them.
Here is my five...
Debbie
She has been so encouraging with her comments and posts. I always feel in a better mood after her visits or visits to her blog.
