Award Extravaganza!

Welcome to my Award Extravaganza!

I have SIX awards to pass on. For a total of 41 recipients!

Since there were so many blogs to recognize, I wasn't able to go into the detail that each blog deserves. I'm so sorry. But trust me, all of these blogs are great and worth a peak at!

-----------------------------------

Amanda at My Not So Extraordinary But Always Exciting Life awarded me with the I Love Your Blog award!



~Winners: Feel free to put the logo on your blog.
~Link the person you received your award from.
~Nominate 5 other blogs.
~Put links of those blogs on yours.
~Leave a message on nominees' blogs (so they know they were nominated!)

Hmmmm, five blogs that I love? SO easy.

1) Ashleigh from Heart And Home
2) Bejewell at The Bean
3) Erin at Out of Character
4) Jen at The McMommy Chronicles
5) Lynette at My So Called Life

-----------------------------------

Belle at Life of a Southern Belle gave me the Kreativ Blogger award!



Recipients will need to tell us about six things that make them happy and then pass the award along to six other folks.

1) Books!!
2) Buying girl clothes for my daughter.
3) Smelling freshly cut grass always cheers me right up!
4) Chocolate cake.
5) Jeans that fit right.
6) My daughter's laugh.

The six other folks...

1) Ivory at The Trivial Pursuit Of Happiness
2) Melissa at A Little Lovliness
3) LoLo at Bubba Bubbles
4) Rachel at Adventures Of An American Mum Alien
5) Kimba at A Soft Place To Land
6) Debbie at Blog Around The World

-----------------------------------

Susie at Susie's Homemade awarded me with BOTH of these!

First up is the Proximidade award.



To translate from Portuguese to English, it means:"This blog invests and believes, the proximity." Meaning, that blogging makes us 'close'- being close through proxy. How awesome is that??

"They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do 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 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.

1) Bia at The Pages Of My Life
2) Rachael at Mommy Learns To Blog
3) Amanda at Lifelong Playdate
4) P-Dub at Flowers And Frills
5) Shannon at A Crafty Mom's Blog
6) Stacia at Hemmes Family Happenings
7) Amanda at My Not So Extraordinary But Always Exciting Life
8) Mel at Mel, A Dramatic Mommy

Next up is the I Love You This Much award!



The only requirement for this award is to pass it along to 10 blogs that I love. Easy as pie!

1) Sam at Little Dragon Fruit
2) Sue at Happy Meals And Happy Hours
3) Sara at Vegan Momma
4) Mrs de Miranda at The Road Less Travelled
5) Linda at Our J'Ollie Home
6) Patrice at Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman
7) Chelle at Creative Momma
8) Susan at Fordy Days And Nights
9) Leslie at Got Kids, Need Valium
10) Carol at Siswick Construction Zone

-----------------------------------

Patrice at Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman passed the Brilante Weblog award on to me!



The rules of this blog award are mention the award (check) and give it to 7 of you!

2) Jyl at Mommy Gossip
3) Andrea at Sgt And Mrs Hub
4) Susie at Susie's Homemade
