I had 2 very special blessings this morning!  First, one of our caterpillars emerged today - beautiful snowy moth (sorry no pics - caught me by surprise and I needed to release him).  Second, my awesome online friend Angi of PeakmoreAcademy sent me this wonderful award:

"This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you've been awarded please pass it on to others who you feel are deserving of this award."

Thanks Angi!  YOU deserve this award right back from me ten times over for all of the encouragement , creativity, & inspiration you've shared with me in so many ways great & small!  It amazes me how God brings his children together even through the internet to provide just what we need at all the right times!  I mostly appreciate your willingness to lovingly speak truth to me.  You make eternal differences in my life.  

I'm passing this award on to:

Jennifer over at Angels with a Purpose.  She's been an awesome inspiration to me these last few months after leaving a "chance" comment here at my blog.  The ways the Lord works!  She's always behind the scenes praying for me & encouraging & exhorting me as the Lord leads her.  "Nice" is just one way to describe her commitment to the Lord & to her family in Christ.  Stop by and encourage her.  This is her first year homeschooling ~ don't we all remember those days!

Molly over at HomeschoolwithIndexCards.  Molly has been a source of great friendship since the early days of NotebookingPages.com.  It's been an exciting year for us both as we've learned our way around the online business world.  She's been there to listen to all my "junk" (you all thought everyday was perfect for me didn't you?!) LOL!  & to rejoice in all of the victories.  She always points me back to the Lord in the most honest, humble way and I SO appreciate it.  Thanks Molly!

Kate & Jeff over at Our Quiverfull Many of you from homeschoolblogger probably know Kate & her family.  They have been a shining light to so many this year as they have walked a difficult path with their dear son Noah.  They are pure inspiration.  I cannot say much more without just completely losing myself here.  PLEASE continue to pray for this family & visit their blog often.  What a calling God has placed on their lives!  What a blessing they have been to the homeschool community!  Thanks Kate & Jeff & all the Estes children!
