The letter A stands for AWARDS!
First, let me explain that for the month of April, I will be participating in the A-Z blog fest. Which means: I will post Monday through Saturday with a blog topic starting with the letter of the day. There will be 26 posts, and considering there are 26 letters in the alphabet - - that works out well. ha. Now, if you want to partcipate, CLICK HERE and holy hannah ... I'm number 175 on a list of 958 participants. Could you just IMAGINE if our followers increased by that number?! That would BE AWESOME! Wait ... maybe the letter A stands for AWESOME! Ha. If you're a new follower - leave a comment saying so - and I will follow you back.
Now ... on to the AWARDS ...
Lucky me! I've received some blog awards. YAY! Thank you!
Kristal Lee and VB Tremper and Rebecca Enzor gave me the lovely Stylish Blogger Award:
And Beth Fred gave me the 7 Facts Award:
And Trisha gave me the One Lovely Blog Award:
THANK YOU!
Now the rules for the first two are the same: link back to the giver, list seven facts about myself, and then pass the award on to 15 other fabulous bloggers. Well ... I will ... kind of ... read on. The rules for the last award are almost the same, minus the list of facts.
7 Facts (I'm totally mocking Kristal Lee's list, because I thought it was great, but these are true facts about myself):
1. My favorite candy is M&M's
2. Autumn is my favorite time of year
3. I have NEVER been aboard Air Force One, but my pilot husband has flown me over the amazing landscape of Sedona, Arizona, in a single engine airplane!
4. I've eaten lunch inside the Space Needle
5. I don't necessarily like to watch hockey, but I love to ice skate!
6. I'd like to think I'm great at video games, but my kids would probably say I suck.
7. I own a $150 iron and a $15 ironing board.
Before I announce the award winning blogs, understand that if you have already received The Stylish Blogger Award, you may choose the 7 Facts Award, and if you have already received that one, you may choose the One Lovely Blog Award, and heaven forbid you've already received all of those awards ... PLEASE accept this wonderful award from me ... because I have visited all of your blogs and they are all fantastic!
But, please note, that the rules for the Electropositive Blog Award are slightly different. Simply link back and thank the giver, and then give away to any number of blogs that make you smile. :)
Amazing, Awesome, Articulate, Award Winning Blogs (please visit and congratulate them!):
