AWARD

I have been honored with a Blog award and so excited as it is my first one! I have met a wonderful person, Tracy at A Slice of Smith life. She has been so supportive and encouraging as I begin my adventures in the blogging world. As I still consider myself a newbie with this new medium I was surprise and delighted that someone thought enough of all my hard work to acknowledge me. I have met so many wonderful people thru the virtual world and the support for homeschooling is amazing. I love meeting people and sharing ideas, resources and encouragement to others.

Please take the time to visit Tracy at "A Slice of Smith life" she will follow you back and she shares lots of encouragement and support. Thanks Tracy for giving me this award. I hope I continue to live up to it!












So here are the rules for accepting this award...

1. Accept the award. Post it on your blog with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2. Pay it forward to 15 other bloggers that you have newly discovered.

3. Contact those blog owners and let them know they've been chosen.

So I am passing on this award to the following great blogs: (in no particular order)

1. Adventures of a somewhat crunchy Mama

2. Handbook of Nature Study

3. Sprittibee

4. Adventures in Mommydom

5. To Busy to be at Home

6. Homeschool Mo

7. Weird Unsocialized Homeschooler

8. Homeschool Highway

9. Freely Educate

10. Finding the Fantastic in Everything

11. Homeschool Creations

12. Harmony Art Mom

13. Adventures of Arbor Creek

14. Sizzle Bop

15. Along the way


As it took me a while to figure out how to add links and post a blog button, I told you I was still a newbie. And while trying to figure out how to post links and buttons, two more wonderful people nominated me for this wonderful award. I can't tell you how surprised and blessed I feel. Pam from Wildflower Paths and Tiffany from Sweet phenomena also gave me this award. Please check out their blogs. They have lots of great stuff to share:)

Thank you ladies for acknowledging my new blog, I still have lots to learn and this has given me quite a boost in confidence that I can blog successfully.

  4. Thanks Tracy, I am still trying to figure out why the links are lighter in color the the other wording and why a few are even darker. I can link up to everyone can you? Let me know if you have trouble so I can figure out what I did.

  15. Hi Anna-Marie!
    You can go back into this award post in blogger and paste and copy the correct links that you listed here in comments. You can always go back and edit posts once you have them published. I'm not sure you are aware of this.
    I have gone back in to my published post lots of times, especially if I forget something or want to delete something. After I edit it I just click the "Publish Post" again and the post will still be on the same day, but with your corrections.
    Congrats again on your lovely award and sharing it with others! Have a good weekend!
