I am terribly behind with accepting these awards and passing them on. I am not a procrastinator by nature, but I wanted to find an original way to announce the awards. Unfortunately, my efforts struggled miserably and for one rhyme, I asked for help from my daughter…ahem. Okay, several rhymes, but who’s keeping track?
As seems to be the going trend, I have fudged the rules a bit. I nominated only 3 bloggers per award, and I answered questions to only one award. Otherwise, you’d be spending all day on my blog, and as much as I love the attention I know we all have other things to do!
Please know that no one is obligated to accept or pass on these awards. If I have given you an award that you already have, my apologies!
Okay, on to the awards:
