A while back I got a big surprise from a blogger I admire for art and blogging against the odds. Thank you:
This is a special award to someone who still thinks of herself as a newbie. I’m part of the family!!! 🙂
Smile! You’re at the best WordPress.com site ever
Thank you, again, mcsirishart.
Then, as if I shouldn’t gloat or just enjoy the glow, the very next day after receiving the nomination, I fell into a fibro-flare. In spite of that, I have gradually put together a list of some of my favorite blogging sites to nominate. It was very difficult to decide. That said, here are the
Rules:
1. Display the award logo on your blog.
2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
3. Nominate 10 others you see as having an impact on your WordPress experience and family
4. Let your 10 Family members know you have awarded them.
5. That is it!
And here are some of the many blogs that have inspired and encourage me in no particular order:

Congratulations to you all!

Thank you so much, and congratulations! 🙂
You’re welcome and congratulations! Um, twice? Don’t know that it was fair but I think you deserve it! I am just now getting around to reading your stories blog.
You’re so sweet, thank you. I may not get around to accepting for a while, but these award things are definitely on my to-do list. 🙂
Happy reading: I hope I don’t scare you off! I have a bit of a wild imagination.
I love your wild imagination! You can’t scare me off! By the way, take your time. It took me a few weeks to do this. I almost felt bad doubling your work, but you deserve good things. You are all over the wordpress supporting everyone. You are amazing!
