Blog Awards . . . Past, Present, and Future

I know I'm going out of order, but I wanted to start with the "Future." I am very honored to have my other blog A Blog of Goodies be nominated for a Dottie Award in the category of Best Supporting Blogger. So if you should feel moved to do so, you can go vote by clicking the button below. There are lots of great blog that have been nominated in the many categories.

Now for the Past! I have had two blog awards bestowed upon me . . .

This one is the “When Life Gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade Award” and was given to me by the lovely Colleen of The Princess and The Monkey.

The next award is a Triple Award, which includes the award mentioned above plus the Best Friends Award and the Sisterhood Award. This one triple-flattering award was given to me by Snoopygie of This and That.

Thank you so much to both you wonderful ladies! Since the second award includes the first award, I will just be passing on the latter. So this brings us to the Present. I would now like to pass the Triple Award onto the following bloggers who I think encompasses the spirit of each award.

1) Heather of The Gift Closet

2) Sarah of Mom Tips and Notes From the Zoo
3) Green Mama of Green Living 101
4) Melanie of Ramblings of a Wannabe Writer
5) Susan of Life in a House of Blue

I must multi-task.

***********************************************************************

This beautiful award was given to me by Leah of Diaries of a Domestic Goddess. Thank you Leah! The meaning behind this award is very touching.

Here's the translation of the award and the meaning behind it:

“This blog invests and believes, in ‘proximity’ [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy] "They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate?"Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.”

Now I would like to pass this award onto the following eight bloggers . . .

Robert of Thoughts of a Father

Melanie of Ramblings of a Wannabe Writer

Kathryn of Seeking Sanity

Lotus of Sarcastic Mom

Laura of Storytellin' Mama

Quilly of Quilly's Pacific . . . Paradise?

Angela of Mommy Bytes

Toni of A Daily Dose of Toni

Foodshot Sundays Contest and Project Black: Take Four

"Little Devils"

I would like to extend a big thank you to Ladynred for honoring me with the award below for my FoodShot Sundays entry from last week! I don't think she knows what an award like this means to an amateur like me. To join in go to FoodShot Sundays Photography.

Here is my fourth installment for "Project Black." This isn't just any fabric. It is a shot of my favorite duvet cover. I loved it so much that I purchased two of them. It is heavy enough to use alone during the warm months and has held up very well over the years against children climbing on it, dogs drooling on it, and cats kneading on it.

To join in or to see meet more Project Black participants, go to Anna Carson Photography. Thanks so much for stopping by to view my photos today!
