So, since I could only pick 10 blogs for my award thing even though I read about 20 or more blogs (almost every face friend I have has a blog in addition to the friends I've met online), and a few of you have called me on the carpet for not being included and now I get to feel guilty...I've decided to make up some of my own awards so that I don't have to exclude anyone.
First (in no particular order!)--
- My real sister in the flesh, Cheryl, also known as Ingle Nook or Aunt Cici--"The Bipolar Blogger award"! You get this award for going a month or more without posting and then posting about 20 posts and then waiting another month before posting again!
- The other Cheryl who I always think is my sister when she is leaving me a comment, she gets the "Best-Most-Consistent-Always-Make-Me-Feel-Good-Commenter" and the "I can find a Bible verse for anything"! Cheryl is so good at always leaving a comment on almost every post. I feel like I have made a friend just through these comments and reading her blog. We just need to meet in the flesh now! Next time you come to see Steph. Cheryl's always got fun Etsy finds on her blog and an appropriate Bible verse, gotta love that!
- Debi--Debi's blog is closed so I won't post a link. I think Debi has to get the "Cutest Pictures" award. It helps that she has two adorable little ones who are very photogenic!
- Leisa--She gets the "Bipolar blogger" award too and an award for having that thing on her sidebar that shows me when people have updated. So, that award is called (wait for it, it's a good one...) "The Great Sidebar" award! Woohoo for Leisa! Closed blog=no link
- Marissa-- Marissa gets the "I-miss-you-so-much-and-I'm-so-thankful-you-have-a-blog-and-post-lots-of-pictures-and-write-long-entries-about-your-life" award. Marissa is also good at making me think and keeping it real as she raises her 4 kids and is pregnant with her fifth. She's better at me at finding balance and gives good advice. I won't link to her blog either since it's closed. Love you Riss!
- Emily--Emily gets the "Great Book Recommender" and the "Funniest Son" award. Emily does a homeschool storytime and always has great ideas for books for kids. And, some of the stories she shares about her son truly make me LOL.
- Jill gets the "I have a blog but will never post again" award. I don't think Jill has posted in months. Hey Jill! Are you reading this? Are you ever going to post again or are you too busy reading all those books you bought months ago? I've known Jill since she was born and I'm older than her so I'm allowed to bully her like this.
- Jessica gets the "I have also quit blogging but I made sure to make my last post the title to a catchy tune that Tiffany can't get out of her head so every time she checks my blog (daily) to see if I've updated she gets a song about big butts stuck in her head" award. Enough said.
- Steph and Ann Marie get to share the "I Quit" award. I miss your blogs!
- Cris at Peter's Peapod gets the "Great lapbooks, thanks for sharing" award and the "Being green and getting organized" award. It was hard to nail down an award for Cris. She posts about a variety of things and her posts are always fun and often insightful.
- Elizabeth gets the "Praising God in the storm" award. Elizabeth is the momma of Bella who I've written about before. She has been through so much in the last few years and she continues to praise God for all her blessings!
Okay, I still have not covered everyone so we'll have to have another awards day around here sometime soon. I wish I had fun pictures for each of these awards and if I had time I would find (or take) some great ones. But--duty calls and I must go do "stuff." Always stuff to do.
