I won some awards. (Blush)
Apar from Random Ruminations awarded me this beautiful ‘thanks for writing’ one. It is a way of thanking those who leave comments on your site. Isn’t that nice?
It does feel pretty good when people leave you a line or two. Not only that, but most of these people end up becoming people we keep in touch with and form friendships with.
I comment at Apar’s site because I like her blog and I enjoy reading her posts. I rarely comment anywhere just for the heck of it. So, thank you very much for giving me this award and for your wonderful blog.

I would like to pass this on to some of my most regular commentor’s as of late:
Everyone’s favorite super hero Peter aka Spidey who has two awesome blogs: Luv & Joy and Hate & Anger.
Teeni who runs the awesome blog The Vaguetarian Tea Room
The famous Joan from Whatever I Think
Birdpress from Birdpress. I’m kind of a newbie to her blog and I must say it is a wonderful place to visit!
And Magik from Magik Quilter who makes the most beautiful quilts. Check them out!
(If any of you have already received this award, sorry for my oversight)
I really appreciate that you take the time to leave your thoughts and comments. It really means a lot to me.

This next award comes from Teeni from The Vaguetarian Tea Room
It was made by her friend Em. How cool is that? Now I want to make one!
She said it was made ‘to award to people, in blog land, that I think have been exceptional friends to myself or others.’
I guess I can’t give it back to Teeni then. But she has been an exceptional friend to me and I am honored that she regards me as a friend.

I’ll hand it out first to someone I know will not accept it but, too bad, he’s getting a mention anyway. Will from Various Philosophies of Cynicism aka known as The Will Rhodes Portmanteau on my blogroll. I’ll have to change it soon! Because when I first arrived at wordpress I was kind of lost on how to set things up and he helped me numerous times. Even when I couldn’t really explain my problem properly! And for all the times he could have smashed my comments and didn’t! So thanks Will.
I would include, Joan and Peter from my above award, but I see Teeni has already awarded them one.
Apar from Random Ruminations, I am really just getting to know her but I am sure we will be blog friends for a long time to come.
Sulz, from Bloggerdygook, even though we don’t often comment on each others blog, I do feel a kinship with her and I consider her a good blog friend.
Of course, Muse from MusEditions, who always seems to get any award I receive but I can’t help it. She is just one of those people who enter your life and you know it is for a good reason. She inspires me, she makes me think, she is a great person, and I kind of think of her as a mentor. I am very lucky to have come across her blog and that she has accepted me warts and all.! Thanks, Muse!

Aw, you deserve these awards and then some, BeadDen! Thank you for my new award too! I love it – such a pretty flower. I will think on it a few days before passing it on. You picked such wonderful recipients that I’m flattered to be included! I will have to check out some of the people you are passing the emerald on to, because some of them are new to me. Congratulations, buddy. You are loved.
thanks for my award bead..it is so cute and what a good idea…I turned comments off for a while but it is good to have the dialogue…

Thanks, Teeni! I was so flattered when you gave me this. I do hope you check out the people I passed this on to. They are great people and have great blog! You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks, Magik. I really appreciate when you stop by to comment and also the encouragement you give me. Sometimes I need that when I get a bit down about things. I was glad to see an award to be able to thank people who take the time to share on my blog.
Thanks, Birdpress! And I also thank you for coming by and sharing with me!
Thanks, Peter! I wouldn’t give out awards for the heck of it, so if you get them, I meant it. LOL! I should be thanking you! I’m really glad we have met here in this blogosphere!
Muse, thank you muchly! You must get tired of getting them, but I really meant it when I hand them out.
I want to make a few of these awards one day!
