Inauguration of the 5 New Awards


It's fun to be part of the Inaugural Moment of this set of brand new Blogger Awards.  

Cynthia had an idea and started these, yay, Cynthia!   Today, the group of us plus Cynthia who received the awards in this  post are awarding this new set of awards in the categories listed.  We have linked up our posts today for this new set of awards.
      
These are in recognition of bloggers who contribute to the online community in their own unique way.  My choices are a little spicy, some organized chaos, beautiful photos, humor- of course, creativity,  personal, entrepreneurs, and everything (almost) under the sun; based on some of the things I like.


Patti writes My Life Under the Bus.  She designs jewelry in a sun room made over into a fabulous work studio craft space.  Smiling when I read her posts with humor for added measure.

When I saw the photo of the paws in hands, I choked up, it was one of those things I remembered about my #1 Sweetie, holding his paws and dancing him while I tried to sing that old song, "42nd St."  You see, he was a tuxedo beagle.  So I have to give this award to Jessica  she is a photographer whose subject is her two dogs.  Go and smile and you might tear up, too.

 


Gloria writes Scacco alle Regine.  Living in Italy and chronicling pieces of her life with beautiful photos and a flair that makes the post saturated with flavor and joy.  She has a jewelry collection and unless you speak Italian, use Translate Page, it'll be worth it.

Twenty Something Sherbet also known as An English Girl in America is written by Rachael, a newlywed making a great life in Detroit.  Staking out flea markets and getting terrific bargains are some things which make her happy.  Her photos are beautiful.

  




For  "A daily dialog of inspiration, creativity, business, and style.   An opportunity to motivate each other on our personal journey of creative discoveries." head over to Additions Style also known as Everyday Inspired.  Valerie has a jewelry line made of hardware components.  She selects amazing and beautiful images for her posts.  She's generous with offering worksheets and other information to stimulate your thinking and your blog or business.  




Allison writes Dream a Little Bigger, isn't that a great name for a blog?  Her blog byline, "Why have one hobby when five will do?" sets the scene.  Are you looking for a little crafty inspiration?  Need a tutorial?  Want a laugh?  Go see Allison for easily explained tutorials and for links she found elsewhere on the net.




Maria Just Do It is almost one year old, hurry up and say hello to this super talented maker of lovely things.  She's sharing pretty photos, tutorials, and inspired fun creations.    










"THE BLOG HOP RULES: there are no rules, but we do have some suggestions. These awards were designed to point out some of the great blogs out there. And you can choose to pass on your award to as few, or as many as you like. So if you've been tapped on the shoulder and given one of these awards, we would love to see you display it proudly on your blog. Join the blog hop and show off that lovely blog of yours. 

We would, of course, love to hear why you like to blog, and why you chose a fellow blogger for an award. So let's get hopping!  This is a Blog Hop!"

Thank you all for stopping by and sorry to reply so late, that blog glitch kept me away, hope it's gone for a long while.
