Awards, Awards, Awards

In the last week I have received 4 awards

It feels like boasting to say this but I am in fact very honoured and humbled

It makes the time spent at this desk so worthwhile to know that my posts are appreciated.

If I took the rules literally I would be passing on almost 40 awards

This felt daunting so instead I chose to post on 3 for each award category

I get great pleasure from visiting and reading all the names on my sidebar and many more and it is always hard to come down to just a few

I have given it a lot of thought but if your name is not here it does not mean that I do not appreciate and value you and your blog, I do, very much so

I received this "You make my Day" award from two blogging friends
