SURPRISE!!! An Award!!!

I was trying to go around to the blogs I keep up with daily and found, as I traveled to "Enchanted Revelry" that my dear friend Tristan had bestowed an award upon me! (kneeling properly in front of computer, even with the bum leg!) Let me tell you a bit about it:

All awards are special and great fun to give. The Renee Award is relatively new and was created by Bella and Ces in honour of their friend Renee, an incredible lady who in the face of a frightening life battle is tackling each new day with great spirit and courage. Please check out the blogs of these three creative women.

Here is what Bella says of the award:"This is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds its way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."

Wow. This is a tough act to follow and I encourage you to read Tristans post. Now my job is to pass this on to eight fellow bloggers that make a difference in my life daily. There is no particualr order in how I post these----everyone is on the same level for me. Friends, people who inspire me, reading I enjoy, folks who are working hard to make creativity a living, folks who just are working hard with life. I salute you ALL!!!
