CC at Lace 'n' Ribbon Roses is a most caring and generous soul. I already knew this, but she has proved it even more. You see, she had a terrible fall at work on Monday morning, and even though in pain, she has managed to sit at her computer and bless ten friends by passing on a blog award she received. And, I am honored to be one of the recipients. Thank you sweet CC for sharing your blessings.
Now, being the homeschooling mom that I am, I had to go to Mr. Webster's dictionary and look up the word "trendy," or more specifically "trend." This is the definition: the general direction or course; drift. Well, I'm not too sure my blog lives up to the first part of the definition. I don't really know if my blog is going in the general direction of other blogs, but the second definition, "drift," certainly applies. I do tend to drift from subject to subject, many times in the same post. So, dear CC, I humbly accept the award and thank you for it.
Here is how I view my blog...
It's just a bud, waiting to find out what it will grow into. It looks around at other blogs and wonders if it will ever be as beautiful and well-developed as those when it matures. It is always asking, "What am I going to be when I grow up?"
And, here is how I view other blogs that I frequent...
My little blog is so inspired by the many full-blown, interesting, beautiful blogs around it. Maybe some day, as the days unfold, just like the petals in a rose, my blog will grow into something of beauty that will bring joy to others.
To keep this award going, I would like to pass the honor on to these very deserving blogs:
Cottage
Conversational Carmelina
Creative Breathing
Darling Petunia
Decorating My Tin Shack
Happier Than a Pig in Mud
Homemade Quilts by Granny
Living Beautifully

Thank you! How sweet! Awards are encouraging, just like blogs!
ReplyDeleteDear Sherry, Thank you so much for thinking of me to receive your award. I can't tell you how touched I was to see that you consider yourself a bud waiting to bloom. I feel this way about my own blog. It is not at all elegant, and yet it is so me. I love that it is a place to tell my stories and the crafts that they inspire. Again, thank you so very much. Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, congrats on your award and certainly well-deserved. I enjoy visiting your little corner of the world. I feel that my blog is just a little bud too, but that's okay. I continue to be inspired by all the blooms out there. Wishing you a most wonderful day! Blessings, Tammy
