for blog awards - like the 'Let's Be Friends' Award!!

Today, I was nominated by Audra for the Let's Be Friends Award!! I was so excited to receive the email telling me that she nominated me. After the rough start to the new year, this really truly made my day! Stop on over and read her blog! You'll be glad you did!

Now on with the technical portion of the award:

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.

Without further ado, it is time to announce my nominations for the 'Let's Be Friends' Award...the envelope, please *drum roll and fanfare here* -

Martha A. at Our Family's Adventures

Victoria (hey, daughters count!) at My Journey for Him

Beth at The Sunny South, eh?

Sallie at Everyday Me, Seaside Tales

Stephanie at A High and Noble Calling

Susan at Safe Thus Far

...and my last two go to ladies that have commented on my blog in the past, but I'm not sure if they have blogs of their own! I know it is sort of bending the rules, but I wanted to at least give them an Honorable Mention!

Thanks, WindyCindy and Jo!!!
