Calling On Friends

I was awarded this from Jackie as The Painted Veil . I think it's a wonderful award because it says so much about the blogger not just the blog...


"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."



I truely feel lucky that I have so many wonderful bloggy friends. Which is going to make this very hard in finding my special eight.


Jodi from Olivia and Logan
On the Verge
Tina from Mummy Diaries
Dana from The Homesteading Housewife
Jennifer from The Extreme Housewife
Fiona from TheBantering Blonde
Stacie from Thoughts on Everything and Nothing
Lucy and Ethel from The Suite Life of Lucy and Ethel

These are my eight. It was very difficult choosing them, because I really love all the blogs I follow and subscribe to. But these I just felt derserved this award a little more. Go read and you'll understand. From funny and off their rocker (you know who you are:) to heart warming and inspirational. And everything in between. There's a little of it all here.

Thank you again Jackie!!♥♥
