ENCOURAGING BLOGGER AWARD

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketAmy over at In Pursuit of Proverbs 31 created the above award for those who she feels have been of special encouragement to her. I was honored (make that shocked and humbled) to find the following posted on her blog one day:

Cynthia is a homeschooling mom with 4 kiddos and yet she still finds the time to leave me comments on a regular basis. I can’t tell you how encouraging it is to find her kind words on my posts. I am truly thankful. You are such a blessing Cynthia… Thank YOU!!!

Hmmmm… who knew that leaving comments on others’ blogs would one day mean an award. I LOVE reading other blogs and I often leave comments. Actually, I think I spend more time reading and commenting on other blogs than I do working on my own blog since I can read/comment from anywhere that I have an internet connection, but I can’t always work on my blog if I haven’t previously saved any photos to photobucket to post to my blog. Anyway, for me, blogging is a fun way to stay connected to those I’ve met in blogosphere and it’s something I like to do while the rest of the family is watching T.V. If you haven’t stopped by Amy’s blog, In Pursuit of Proverbs 31, you SHOULD ! She has lots of very interesting and varied posts! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching the transformation of her blog which she is doing BY HERSELF! She has great photos, step-by-step instructions regarding many topics (most recently applying makeup), contests, and more! She’s a fellow homeschooling mom who will soon be getting married. And, did I mention that she is creating a new blog skin all by herself? (LOL)! Stop by her blog. You’ll LOVE it, I’m sure.

Lol!! I am DETERMINED to create on my blog the vision I have in my head! I am learning these HTML tags one by one… it is fun & tedious! BUT will be oh so worth it once I see it finished.

I am pretty eclectic. I love to learn about things – OK everything,(thus, the many topics), and I read constantly!!! It has been said that my mind is full of useless stuff since I remember almost everything that I read. I say NO, not useless! I can blog it! :o)

Thank Cynthia! You really, really do encourage me and it always seems to come when I need it most!

Amy,
You’re welcome! Each time I go to your blog now I find myself hunting for what you might have added to the template since the last time I visited (LOL)! I noticed the blocks of color behind your header this time and a green line bordering the whole thing. I keep “seeing” a few things that I think would look cool and so I keep checking back to see what you’ve come up with.

I would have LOVED to create my new blog skin myself, but it would have taken me forever….

LOL about useless info for the blog (LOL).

Cynthia!!! I’m so glad you’re blogging again. And I’m so very happy to be back at home where I have high speed internet and a fast computer and time to read all the blogs I’ve been missing (okay, I don’t really have the time but everything else is true).

I’ll be catching up this week!

I love your blog, especially the header. I have a couple of sites, but am absolutely illiterate with html. I have decided to venture out of my commenting comfort zone and introduce myself to some new friends. So nice to meet ya, along the way. Think I’ll skip over and introduce myself to Amy Grant, too!

You are perfect for this award, Cynthia! You were the first person to respond when I posted about my blog, and it makes me smile everytime you leave me a comment.
Thank you!

Kathy,
It’s good to have you back home (LOL)! I hope to get some serious blogging done this week inbetween catching up the house, doing quarterly reports/WorkComp reports, etc., and co-op things!

Robin,
Thanks for the kind comments. I enjoy reading and commenting on blogs! Thanks for leaving me a comment.

Congratulations!!!!!!! You are the perfect person to receive that reward!

I love visiting Amy’s blog too! I wish I had more time to get to everyone’s blog . . hopefully when school starts my life will slow down a little bit 🙂

READER PREFERENCE?

For those who haven’t noticed yet, I’m participating in Project 365 again this year which means (hopefully) I’ll be posting a photo a day along with my occasional book reviews, lengthier blog entries about what we’re up to, etc.    Some of you read my blog to see the photo which …
