Happy Things to Share

All Things Southern and Preppy, Confessions of a 40-Something Mama Queen AND Small Town Girl passed a long a wonderful award to me.

Good GOLLY do I LOVE an award and I do so appreciate the kind thoughts and words. I don't know when I've enjoyed anything as much as I enjoy blogging. I surely do wish I could make a career out of it.


Here are the rules:1. Put the logo on your blog or post. 2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show GREAT ATTITUDE and/or GRATITUDE! 3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post. 4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog. 5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received your award.


I want to pass the love along to 10 great blogs that I enjoy reading on a routine basis. They make me laugh, they make me cry, they make me absolutely want to do things perfectly (Miss Janice, that's you!) and generally make me a better blogger because I don't EVER want to disappoint anybody who reads my blog.


There are SO many more of you out there and one of these days an award will make it to you too...stick with me!!













All Things Southern and Preppy, who is QUICKLY becoming one of my favorite people passed along another award to me that I should have passed along awhile ago but I just got SO caught up in holiday magic that I put it on the back burner. It's the Smile Award...goodness knows I TRY...some days are easier than others...





The qualifications to receive the award are:

A. Display a cheerful attitude- I'm pretty successful most days
B. Love one another - You know, it can be a challenge some days...not with blog friends but boy howdy some of the people I work with...YIKES
C. Make mistakes - I'm the QUEEN...
D. Learn from others- Yes, I do...every single day.
E. Be a positive contributor to the blog world- I hope that I am...I try really hard!
F. Love life- I do indeed!
G. Love kids- Education is my life's work...who do we think is going to take care of us in our old age if we don't love and nurture each new generation?

The Rules:
1. Must link it back to the creator
2. Post the rules
3. Choose 5 people to give it to
4. Recipients must fit the characteristics above
5. Create a post to share this
6. You must thank the winner


I'm going to pass this along to:
