Thank you and here's to you!

First of all I would like to say Happy Veteran's Day. I think it takes a special breed of person to go and protect the country you love, a country full of many ungrateful people who never stop to realize the sacrifice that the men and women of our armed forces make not only with their lives but those of their family and loved ones. If you are not one of the ungrateful thank you as well for recognizing. So from me, a big thank you to anyone in the armed forces now and in the past for doing what you consider your duty and what I consider nothing short of amazing and selfless.

On a lighter note:
I would love to thank Grampy for three new awards that I am proud to show off, display, and pass on!
The Neno’s Award Rules and Regulations:
1. As a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging.
2. To seek the reasons why we all love blogging.
3. Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
4. Don’t forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
5. Answer the award’s question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
6. Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.
7. Don’t forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.

I love blogging because it is great to ramble in a public forum, not talk to kids sometimes, have people agree with, appreciate, or laugh with me at what I have to say! I get to be the center of attention! lol. No seriously...I like meeting like minded people, seeing how people go through their lives, get inspiration for crafts and cooking... it is just awesome!

The rules for the Friendship awards are:

For those receiving this award it is bestowed on to blogs that 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 six bloggers who must choose six more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

So to 6 bloggers these 3 awards go to:

1. Brandi at These are the moments

2. Lindsey at A Kindred Spirit's Thoughts

3. Flory at A Woman's life Stages

4. Amanda at Circle of life Scraps

5. Linda at Kelin's Place

6. Michelle at Luvbrd Scraps

Thanks for not only the inspiration ladies but the evolving friendship involved in blogging and connecting through writing and scrapping and sharing our lives.
