Sweetest Friend
Thank you so very much! I am honored and blessed to receive such an award! A friend of mine @ Creative Counterpart , has nominated me for one of her ‘Sweetest Friend Awards’ . The award originated with Evening Shade Morning Latte.
The award is as follows: “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find & be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.”
The rules of the award are as follows: Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to 8 bloggers that then need to choose 8 bloggers of their own to pass the award to. Include the following text depicting the award…“Each of the following ladies, I simply love. They each have faced their own challenges in their lives & the way they encapsulate their experiences endears them greatly to my heart.”
So, I am handing out my 8 awards to the following…
- Valerie- she has been there with me through thick and thin in the blogging world and proven herself a dear friend over and over again.
- Mindy- a sweet gal that I just met recently and another fellow Alaskan, in fact she lives just down the road. I will have to meet her in person sometime soon.
- Terri Sue- she has always been faithful to give an encouraging word when it seems I need one most.
- Daisy- she is a faithful commenter here on my blog and is full of encouraging words and great input on the discussions here.
- Ruby- she is another lady who has been full of encouragement and reached out her hand of friendship.
- Trish-is a great lady who has extended her hand of friendship to me and I have seen her reach out to many others as well!
- De’Etta- is a great friend, not only are we in the same position when it comes to the ministry roll but she brings a bit of crazy and zaney energy to her friendships.
- Linda- she has shown herself to be an encourager and one who is always consistent and faithful to participate here on my blog.
These are some amazing ladies that anyone would be honored to call friend. Take some time to visit their blogs and get to know them. Ladies, “Thank you for your friendship!”.

Oh My–THANK YOU!
I have been very blessed this week and am honored to receive this award. This award was passed along to my by both Tracy and Mommy Reg.
Here are the details of the award:“This blog invests and believes, in ‘proximity’ [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy]. They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate? Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.”
Now for the new recipients of this award.
- Trish @ A Joyful Heart
- De’Etta @ Choosing Joy
- Mary @ Raising 4 Godly Men
- Lynn @ Eclectic Education
- Jenn @ Busy At Home
I am also honored to receive this award passed along to me by Nancy. Thank you Nancy for your kind words!!
“This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day.”
The rules to follow are :
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog
together with the name of the person that has granted the award and his or her blog link.
2) Pass the award to other 15 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment. Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
The recipients for this award are as follows.
- Mrs. June Fuentes @ A Wise Woman Builds Her House
- Sister Lisa @ The Homespun Life
- Grafted Branch @ Restoring the Years
- Bobbie @ Encouragement Along the Way
- Lisa @ Second Generation Homeschooling
Okay, so I know I broke the rules and only listed 5 blogs for each award but how many blogs can one keep up on constantly?! And do I really want to admit that I actually follow THAT many?? *grin* Plus that saves more blogs to pass things along to later. Take some time and visit all of these great blogs! You will be blessed just as I have been!
