A little award and a few linky-dinks!

Hello out there, bloggy friends! Are you saying YEAH, it's almost Friday like I am?!! See, Friday is my day off, I work six days a week, so I CRAVE Friday's! So Suzie Button's in an especially good mood today!
I had one of my sweet bloggy friends Marilyn at The Cutest Cottage Lamps honor me with this sweet summer award!

So, to those who are receiving the "LEMONADE" award, the rules are:
1. Post the award on your blog
2. Pass it along to ten people you would like to give the award to
3. Link the nominee's within your post
4. Let the nominees know you are giving them an award
5. Link your post to the person who gave you the award
Simple! Enjoy!
This made me think about how much I love blogging and how creative it is, well, it's blissful, in fact!
That is the subject and title of my newest Amazon.com book I purchased by Tara Frey "Blogging for Bliss"

And I'm just beginning to delve into this "blissful" book about blogging and bloggers, and I love what I've read already!
So in honor of both my award and this book, I'd like to nominate new blogger friends I'm discovering and enjoying that I've found within the pages...
1. Jeannie Griffin a A bushel and a peck
2. Betz White
3. Pam Kitty Morning and Pam
4. Chris Glynn at Tutti Chic

6. Sheila Rumney at blessed and Distressed
7. Celebrate Creativity in all its forms
8. Zee at Pixie blossoms

What fun to discover such creative, interesting bloggers! Thanks to Marilyn for honoring me in such a sweet way! Happy Blogging!
