More Trumpets, Drumrolls and Applause

Last week was filled with surprises and praises which I did not expect but will gladly receive with much appreciation. First, Crafty Mug from http://craftythisandthat.blogspot.com/ gave me the much coveted Friendship Award and to top that off another blogger who I have really grown to admire for her beautiful writing, Jackie from http://jackmandora.blogspot/ gave me the enviable Brillante Weblog Award. How can a person be so blessed in one week? I have since passed on The Friendship Award to 8 other bloggers but I would like to pass on The Brillante Weblog to 5 bloggers who's work I admire and think deserve some recognition:

http://healthyseason.blogspot.com/ Hling99 has created a wonderful diet & exercise blog

http://soapswithballs.blogspot.com/ A young male soapmaker who shapes his soap differently

http://craftythisandthat.blogspot.com/ She shares her great craft project recipes with us

http://www.growinggroceries.com/ James' blog gives us tips & info on growing our own food

http://essentialwild.blogspot.com/ Planteo has been following me around with his aroma tips

The rules for acceptance of the award are as follows:

1. Pick 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award based on their creativity, design, interesting material and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.

2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3. Each winner has to show the award and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.

Congratulations and please pass the award to others who are deserving.

Thanks
