MY VERY OWN BLOG AWARD!!!

Hello, my wonderful family and friends!  I hope all's well!  As for me, I'm still feeling a bit under the weather but I'm working towards feeling better while trying not to let how I feel keep me totally down.

In the meantime, I just couldn't wait any longer to share this with you!!!  I am so fortunate coming here to great friends such as yourselves!  I know I am Blessed having you, and I'm  feeling particularly honored that my friend, Bobby (aka the "Cricut Dude"), thought enough of me to take time to create/design for me my very own blog award and to surprise me with it!!!  How wonderful is that?!!!  Hugs, Bobby!!!  You have definitely made me feel special -- and Blessed!!!

Let me -- very excitedly and proudly -- introduce to you my "You Truly Bless Me" blog award:


Isn't it wonderful?!!!  Bobby, thank you so very much for this!!!  It has truly made me feel inexplicably happy!!!

As this is mine to do with as I please, I have decided I don't want to apply the same rules we usually see attached to passing on awards.  Because this award is special to me, I want it to be special not just in a recipient receiving it... but how it's received and who receives it!!!  And I want it to be fun!!!

I would especially love to see this award passed on to bloggers who need a lift, some encouragement,  who need to know they too truly do bless us in special ways, and deserve this award.

So, over the next several days, I'll be thinking on the rules for how I hope this award will be passed on to others, and also who will be the very first to receive this beautiful and special award!  I hope you'll all be around to congratulate the recipients (if it's not you... lol!!!) -- I'll let you know when!!!

Again, thank you Bobby!!!

Well, I'm back off to bed again.  Writing this post was enough to let me know I'm not quite ready yet... lol!!!  If I can later, I will probably get up to do some visiting; checking in to see all the wonderful creations you're doing!!!   Sorry, I can't do any better or be any faster getting to you right now.
Thanks for stopping by to share my joy of this wonderful gift.  Hugs, and...

I'll be seeing you!

Oh Audrey, It was just the right thing to do. We all love our followers, but you put everyone on a totally different level. It only seemed right that you started your own award. Can't wait to see the rest and hope you get to feeling better. HUGS!

First I am so sorry you're not feeling well, I am at this moment saying a prayer for you. This is going to be a very special award. Perhaps you could figure a way some others could use it to share with someone other than actually having to receive it in order to pass it. Sometimes a person needs to be told they are a blessing to someone else, I love your new award. I am excited to see what you will do with it. Hugs, Pam at http://craftycards4u2.blogspot.com/

This is really cool! I too created a blog award of my own using one of my photos of a butterfly. But haven't thought about it in a couple of years. This is very sweet that you are going to do this. Best, Curt

Audrey this is truly beautiful. What a great job they did designing this award. I just received my RAK today and I LOVE the stickers. Here's something to cheer you up, my 7 year old GS was composing a letter on the computer and printed this out: Dear Santa do you know Jesus I take CCD classes with my mom. I made my christmas list. Love, mattie. Hum, I wonder what he was thinking lol. Get some rest. hugs, Mary

Take care of yourself!

Hi Audrey,

Bobby did an excellent job on your award. I totally agree with the premise to be to uplift and encourage bloggers. I know that I love to do this to bloggers with a few followers and encourage them to go out in the blog world and visit new blog sisters and brothers. Kudos to you for thinking of it!!
