I have been given this lovely award from Janice at http://myfamilyjaysactivity.blogspot.com/ Thank you Janice!
Think about how many time we have participated in a hop and went thru the list of other blogs linked up, playing along and because they have answered something similar to our answer or something we had thought the same thought we leave them a comment? Those comments build and build between blog friends and we start following that blog author and building a solid friendship. We get them and they happily get us. I have some great friendships all due to the thanks of a blog-hop I joined, I also know some of our super hostess's stay award free on their blogs but I hope they know I applaud them weekly by their fun, challenging, & creative hop prompts they provide us. The opportunity to get these awards from our fellow bloggers and make us happy that we stick with blogging and participating in their challenges. I try to go down the list of the links and leave comments on blog posts and then I try and return a comment on my own post when left one but gosh it is hard to do both so in making my list of fellow bloggers to present this too I am going to go with those blog buddies who I see not just on my blog leaving hope. inspiration, and encouragement but on others as well..... mind you I do not want to leave anyone out I think every single follower is AMAZING but this award has real rules attached ......so here I go with who I would like to award this too - PLEASE check these awesome bloggers out.

ReplyDeleteYou do indeed deserve this my friend, I've so appreciated you over the years. I couldn't thank you enough for mentioning my blog there as well, thank you so very much!

ReplyDeleteOh Congratulations Beth I know how much work it takes to post everyday and you certainly deserve this.

Thank you so much Hugs B
Congratulations. You certainly have earned the award. BGB
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you! Thank you for your kindness by sharing with me. I hope your appointment went well earlier today.
ReplyDeleteI have fallen behind with commenting this week; John had cellulitis on his upper arm and we visited the dr. two days in a row. The antibiotics are working but now he has a cold.
Wishing you a nice weekend. Mildred
Congatulations on the award.. You are very deserving..Blessings, Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award. I really appreciate all my blogger friends, but don't really do much awarding or accepting. Think I probably post enough about myself, for people to know me and I will finish just by saying again, I appreciate you and your blog and all of my friends on here. I am pleased also that we are now in the season of thanksgiving, then we look forward to the celebration of the birth of Jesus Our Saviour and Lord. Light of the world.
Hugs Nita.
A great award for a lovely blogger. I love what you wrote about blogging and relationships. It's so true.
ReplyDeleteWell done. You so deserve it! You are right. Blogging takes time and effort but it is so worth it. In only a few months I have met so many people and made friends, learnt so much and I think it has helped me be more aware of my world. So enjoy your award my friend! Joan
ReplyDeleteI agree that blogging brings us great friendships.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive award to receive! I long ago had to give up awards because they were taking over every day of blogging, though I am very glad to see that there are those who still enjoy them and appreciate them. (True confessions: I still have a folder of all my awards and enjoy peeking in there every once in a while.)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you! sandie
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth for sending it back my way I adore you and am so glad I have you in my life :))
ReplyDeleteyou were sent to me from God I know this for fact!!! HUGS
