‘Tis the Season to Receive … Awards!

I have been rather remiss of late. I've been honored a few times recently with awards, but I've been slow to respond to the award givers.  Time flies.  Seems like just yesterday, I was posing for this picture ... But just last week, I posed for this one ... So before I start to look…

More Awards, More Mea Culpa

I have been remiss of late in thanking two special bloggers for awards they've bestowed on me:  Fall 'N Love Crafts, who has honored me with my second Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award, and Dean at Deanz Doodlez, who has nominated me for the Liebster Award.  Please visit (and follow) both of these very…

Just Call Me Ms. Popularity

I've been honored with TWO awards this week!  I am rather awestruck since never in my life have I felt so popular then when I rebooted my blog 🙂  The first award I received this week is the Shine On award given to me by the truly inspiring Running To Her Dreams blogger.  If you…

Leaping Liebster!

I've been nominated for another Liebster by the lovely Briana Vested at When I Became An Author.  I don't want to disappoint anyone by following the rules, so I am going to answer Briana's questions and stop there 😉  At a later date I may come back to this post and nominate a bunch of…

What? Another Award?

Patty over at Petite Magique had honored me with The Loyal Reader Award!  I am truly honored by this as I do try to be a loyal reader.  I am following so many wonderful bloggers.  It's a challenge to keep up, but it's also fun, educational, heartwarming and uplifting. The rules are simple. 1. Display…

The Liebster Award

I have been honored with another award!  This one--the Liebster Award--comes from Olivia Stocum of The Claymor and Surcoat blog.  As an Irish friend in Latvia would say, "You like me, you really like me!" The rules of this award are simple (but lengthy):  first, thank the person who honored me (Thank you, Olivia!), list…

I have to pinch myself. Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming. I am a shy, sensitive introvert: someone who doesn't make friends easily, someone who feels more comfortable with furry four-legged critters than people. I'm often inclined to think that people have more reason to not like me, than to like me. That's just part…
