Thank You!

This little gift is from Lori. Thank you for thinking of me. I will be taking a day to "Spread the Love" very soon.....lol And ohhhh by the way....the feeling is mutual!

I didn't know I was nominated for this award this year, but after I learned about it (just now) I thought it was very thoughtful. Now I didn't win, but I still want to say "Thank you" to whomever nominated and/or voted for me. I could have thought of a few that I would have nominated too if I had only known that it was that time of year again. These are the categories that I was nominated for:

(If you click on the nominee button it will take you to their site. It is fun to see who was nominated for what, and you learn about new blogs this way. I found a few that I adored when I explored them last year.)

Best Cyber Buddy Blog

Live What You Believe Blog

Best Blog Design

Again, thank you for thinking of me. I didn't want to seem like I didn't care or appreciate it so I wanted to make sure I posted about it before I put it on my sidebar.

Nice DOES Matter

I want to thank you JavaMama and Lori for giving me this beautiful blog award. The message means a lot to me, because I think being nice matters. I am grateful that others find this to be true when reading my blog. I have to say that I feel the same way about the two blogs that nominated me. They are just as worthy to have received their awards too. Thanks girls!

So this allows me to give this award to a few more people that I feel are conscientious about keeping their blogs and their responses NICE, as well. Truly, I don't have any friends who aren't worthy of this award. I like to read encouraging blogs on many subjects, but I know that the people on my list will pass the compliment along.

I am going to change things up a little bit since we keep giving all of these things away, and give this award to a few people that I know will share it outside of my tight circle. It's such a sweet award that I would like to see this passed around the blogosphere. Keep on giving girls!!

I recieved an award! Wow! I was, actually, chosen for something...woohooo! LabellinaMammina is the one who nominated me and I thought it gracious of her, because who doesn't like pretty little graphics and blinkies to put on their blog? Thank you, I know right where I will put it!!

Okay so now I am supposed to choose five bloggers to recieve this award too. This is gonna be really hard since there are some really great bloggers out there. Keep in mind that if you are chosen than you are supposed to choose five to give it to also.

1. Raising the Martins in Oklahoma....Her posts are near and dear to my heart since its the only way I can see her family. She has a funny, wry humor to her life while still keeping the Lord at the center of it all.

2. Just Going With The Flow....She talks about raising her three little ones. She has a breezy way of making the small things very entertaining and funny.

3. Life's Little Moments....She has a brood of eight beautiful children. She is a homeschool mom, and is very real about what it's all about to love, educate and raise a large family.

4. Always On The Run.....Her posts are all very lighthearted, and fun easy reads. You can tell she enjoys motherhood and being a wife.

5. Life of a Listmaker.....Her blog is about organization and staying on top of homemaking. She also blogs about being a homeschool mom to a teenage boy.

I could have listed more for sure, however this gives others a chance to list the ones I wanted to list. I sure hope that no one feels left out, or gets their feelings hurt if they didn't get chosen. =0)
