I am so late with announcing this! Mostly because I was in shock and awe for quite awhile..basking in the warming glow that captured my mind when a fellow blogger included me on his fabulous list of nominees.
Thanks so much to C.C. Charron for making me feel extra special! If you haven’t already done so, please hop over to his versatile e-gallery Off The Wall

7 Random Facts about me:
1. Favorite actor / actress – Nicholas Cage and Sandra Bullock (I’ve seen almost all of their individual movies…yes, even ‘All About Steve’ and ‘Valley Girl’ 🙂 )

3. I think chocolate should be its own food group
4. I love any dish crafted together in any combination of warm bread, red sauce, and cheese
5. I love nature..from a close distance..as in, lovely photos or short walks with socks pulled up to my knees, and running frantically from villainous-looking bugs and squiggly things

7. I love my family very much..None of us live more than fifteen minutes apart

You’re too kind!! Thank you so very much 😀 ..Keep up the excellent writing and daily encouragement! 🙂 hugs back to you!!
😊xoxo😊
The first blogging award is always the best – enjoy it while
you can 😉
pretty soon you’ll have a million of these and not be sure
of what do with them. One good thing to note – my one
award post got more twitter and face book shares then
any other post – so I’ll have to get around to posting the
others – Perhaps it’s cause we’re popular 🙂
Haha..I’m still swimming in the happiness!! and will try to keep the glow for as long as possible 🙂 ..I decided to shy away from being popular..FB and chirping were draining my productivity..I have a lukewarm presence on both of those now, but I wish everyone else much success on the networks 😀
I don’t have a face book or twitter account.
I just run around leaving comments and incourageing
others like myself – but only between projects or
when suffering from writer’s block.
Thank you for your nomination. Warm regards.
You are very welcome! Your writing is lovely and so articulate 🙂
I am very touched to be included in your nominations Lenise! Thank you. I wish I could reciprocate, and your weblog would be at the top of my list, but… I don’t browse WordPress enough to even KNOW fifteen sites! My bad. I have to get out more often LOL.
Haha..You are very welcome! No problem at all..I just wanted to pass on some happy news and some smiles..plus give recognition where it’s due..Keep writing and have an awesome weekend 🙂
Thank you Lenise, I am working on sending my thanks out. Life has been a bit crazy for us.
You are very welcome! Hope all goes well soon 🙂
Hear’s another one for ya –
I gave you a Liebster Award!
Or have you had enough
already – 😉
Hello, hello!! Lol…One award is never enough!! Plus, now I can finally dedicate a whole page to sharing my shiny trophies with the world..or at least my handful of visitors…Yayyyyy *(^-^)* ..Thanks so much for thinking of me for your fabulous list!
Congratulations!
Thanks so much! Every time I look at that post, I can’t stop smiling for about an hour, lol 😀
Congratulations!!!
