Awards and Passing's-Along...

Posted in The Daily Grind

It is with great humility and equal pleasure that I have been named a recipient of this newest blog award.

Both Mary (Canadagirl) and Sandpiper blessed me with this award yesterday, and now it is my extreme pleasure to pass it along.

So, without further ado, here are *some* of my favorite blogs to visit (in no particular order):

Alyssa, of crazybusy. She not only takes some of the most spectacular photos I've ever seen, but her subject matter is adorable as well as being entertaining.

Bethany, of 40winkzzz. Bethany has a gift for telling stories, and can spin an entertaining yarn out of the most mundane day.

DeeDee of deedeeuk. Dee is a wonderful bloggy friend to have, and is a kindred spirit.

So, thank you again for this lovely award, and I hope I can continue to be worthy of it.

Why, thank you! I'm honored. Generally the only problem I have with receiving awards is that I am usually required to pass them on, which makes one more thing for me to do. :-) I finally figured out a way to get around that, as you will see if you go to the very bottom of my sidebar. So... is there any such requirement with this one? You made no mention of it.

I will be w/o internet for the weekend, so I will prob have to get to this next week.
