Overdue Award Love

I have been neglectful (again) of my award thank you's. I have received several awards over the past couple of weeks and am happy to pass them along.

My bloggy buddy Carolyn @Checkerboard Squares graced me with the Soulmate Award. If you don't follow Carolyn, you are missing out on one awesome sense of humor!

The rules:
1. Choose five followers/commenters that 'get' you
2. Write something fake (preferably not too mean) about them
3. Link to them, and link back to this post .

And now for five followers who truly understand me:

My two awesome CP's:
1. Valerie @ Something to Write About
2. Bethany @ Aspirations
and:
3. Jennie Englund
4. Angela @ Bookshelf Muse
5. Shannon #1 @ Ramblings of a Wanna be Scribe


*********

I pass along the Sugar Doll award, received from two awesome ladies - Lydia Kang @ The Word is My Oyster and Mary@ Writer's Butt Does Not Apply to Me - to the following sweethearts:


Princess Courtney@ Southern Princess
Kristi Chestnutt @ Random Daily Thoughts
Corey @ Thing 1 and Thing 2
Kelly Lyman @ Kelly's Compositions
L.T. Elliot @ Dreams of Quill and Ink



*********

I pass along the Prolific Blogger Award, recieved from the awesome Stephanie @ Hatshepsut to:


Patti Lacy
Valerie @ I Should Be Writing
Jen @ Unedited
Tina Lynn @ Sweet Niblets
Choco @ In Which a Girl Reads



*********

I pass along the Creative Writer Award, given to me byTahereh @ Grab a Pen to:


Stephanie Damore
Frankie @ Frankie Writes
Tricia @ Talespinning
Bane @ Bane's Blogging Blues
Liz @ Cleverly Inked




*********


I received the Silver Lining Award from Helen Ginger @ Straight from Hel, and I pass it to:



Tahereh @ Grab a Pen
D.L. Hammons @ Cruising Altitude
Juju @ Tales of Whimsey
Charmaine @ Wagging Tales
Kayeleen @ Kayeleen's Creation Corner




Blogging has become a source of surprisingly strong friendships and support systems for me. I am truly blessed to have found all of you - those I follow, and those who follow me. If there are names above that you aren't familiar with, go check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Have a great weekend!

    Some great blogs here. Following most. Will check out the others. Love for you to join me too. Talking about a DEAD--and I mean DEAD--robin today. Poor little guy.

    Love your awards, Shannon. I need to get into that swing. Great fun. ";-)

    Congrats on the awards! You're pretty awesome, if I say so myself (though not often since I'm a terrible commenter). I'm glad to see you got the Soulmate Award. I started that one a while back and I'm glad to see it's still floating around.

    Oh man, I missed what you did on your sidebar! That is the fanciest sidebar blingage EVER!

    I wish I knew how to do that with all mine. I had to take them off because I coolant fit them, because they're big and I only knew how to do one at a time/gadget.

    You have every award ever given!

  32. Shannon MessengerApril 9, 2010 at 11:24 AM

    Aw, thanks Shannon! Not sure when I'll have time to do a post about it, but I'm adding it to my sidebar now! {{blug}} (psst--that's a blog hug. I'm still trying to make that a thing.) :)
