Sharing the Love

Man, I have been a bad blogger lately. Just haven't felt up to it I guess. But today, after much delay -- I am finally going to pay it forward with this lovely award Jeanne gave me about two weeks ago.

Now the rules of such an award...to pass this award on to at least seven blogs you think are deserving... display the logo and link to who gave it to you...and add links to those 7 blogs you have chosen. Finally leave the nominees a message that they received the award.

I am so touched by Jeanne's award and the kind things she wrote about me. It is always hard to pick just a few blogs to share the love with, as I enjoy each of your blogs and am grateful for your friendship. For today though, here are the blogs I have chosen:

Wendy is one of my best friends locally who has only been blogging for a short time. However, you can tell she is really enjoying it. She is so much smarter than me when it comes to computer/technical issues, so imagine my surprise when she has come to me with an occasional blog question, LOL! Her blog always has cute stories and fun pictures of her gorgeous family. I'm glad she is enjoying her blogging adventure!

Alice is another one of my favorite people locally and her blog is always full of humor and fun. Alice is smart, strong and a wonderful mother. Her blog includes plenty of inspiration along the way and posts that make you remember what is really important in life.

Christi and I have never met in person, but I consider her a dear friend. She is SO talented and her blog has lots of creative eye candy. She is an amazing stamper and scrapbooker and she is a good writer to boot. The great pictures she posts of her kids are yet another bonus when you visit her blog!

Mary Jo is another online friend that I wish I could meet in person sometime. She is a midwest girl like myself and I love keeping up with her sweet little family on her blog.

Linda became a friend through scrapbooking, but not only is she a scrapper -- she is an amazing artist. Her paintings and other pieces are just gorgeous. She recently switched to a blog where she will share her lovely art pieces. It is well worth a visit!

Aside from the fact that she is a Packers fan (hee hee), I love my girl Dawn. I mean really -- anyone who has a blog named after my favorite drink has to be fun, right?? She too, likes to share her talented creations with us and she is a wonderful person. I love to visit her blog.

And finally, I simply must award this right back to Jeanne. When I read her blog, I find we are so similar and I wish we lived closer to each other so we could hang out at Barnes & Noble together. And maybe, she would teach me a thing or two about photography, because she always has the most beautiful photos on her blog. She also has a real knack for making your mouth water -- she posts pictures of the most scrumptious looking meals and treats -- I think I gain weight just looking at them! :)

Hope you've all had a wonderful week -- hard to believe it's August already, isn't it?? I'll try to be a better blogger (haven't I said that before?).

Enjoy your weekend!!!
