Smile for an A+!

I have recently been given awards from fellow bloggers. I always think this is such a honor and it just makes my day when someone passes one of these along!

The first award is the A+ blogger award which Monogrammed Teacher created- isn't that so creative!?

Here are the rules of the A+ Blogger Award

1. You should pay it forward to 2 other blogger and let them know they won (check, did this and I think all three of my ladies received their items!).
2. You should give them a compliment (check, check, check!).
3. You should thank your giver (I just received my item and am off to thank Off the Beaten Path).
4. You should post your award for the world to see!

I would like to pass this award along to:

Nina

Muffy Martini

Belle of the Ball

The other award I received from Muffy Martini (my blog twin!), Pink Cupcake (such a treat to read her everyday- head on over and enter her giveaway now!) and Rickrack and Pom Poms (We have a special bond that goes far beyond the Internet). Thank you ladies for thinking of me!

Characteristics for the Smile Award:
1. Must display a cheerful attitude ( I try to do this in every post, but I do admit there are times I am not as positive as I could be).
2. Must love one another ( I do this even if people are not the nicest).
3. Must make mistakes (I am all about mistakes! If I did not make any I would not be learning nearly as much!).
4. Must learn from others (I do this through the blog world and in 'real' life).
5. Must be a positive contributor to blog world (I hope I am going this, I want you to know I am trying!).
6. Must love life. (Oh, you need not worry, I do!).
