Very Rewarding

I have officially been bestowed with a blogging Award!

Amy, from A Redeemed Sheep, nominated me for this honor, and when I had time to think about it, the award logo seemed familiar. . . . . it seems that Jessica also sort of / kind of nominated me back during my two-week hiatus, but she did NOT follow directions or obey the rules, so I pretty much missed it.

The rules that go with this award:

Put the logo on your blog
Link to the person you received your award from
Nominate at least 7 other blogs
Put links to those blogs on your site
Leave messages on the blogs you've nominated

I am doubling up on one of Jessica's nominees, because she missed it too:

1)  Mary

2)  Renna:  simply an original favorite; one of my first bookmarked blogs.  She led me to Amy.

3)  Ava:  this is really Melanie, Ava's mom.  Melanie is our hairdresser, friend, and just a really neat person and mother.

4)  Marilyn, at A Mixed Bouquet:  There is so much fun information here, about blogging, homeschooling, devotions, etc.; and you can even learn about the life of a cucumber. . .

I'm going out on a limb with numbers five and six, because I am simply a lazy lurker at their sites.  They don't have a clue who I am, but I really, really enjoy both blogs. 

5)  Blair at Wise Craft

6)  Raising Oaks Of Righteousness

And for number 7 . . . .  . . I've got nothing.  Amy stole my Muddy, and has already awarded her.  Apparently she either did not understand that Muddy was mine, or she didn't care, and it has left me short.  But I forgive all, seeing as how Amy is so sweet and thought of me in the first place!!
