Thankful & Passing Along The Love...

I have been really terrible about posting awards I've received lately. In fact, I discovered that I have some from the end of May that I never passed along... Yikes! So I thought I would remedy the situation today and share the love a little bit (ok, a lot). Please note, there are several awards, so I may not follow the rules of each exactly--I will nominate 4 blogs for each award to make my job a little easier :-) Here we go!

Thank you to Jo at Ink and Paper for nominating me for the Let's Be Friends Award!

Blogs that received the Let’s Be Friends Award are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement.
