AWARDS!

Michele awarded me The “I Love Your Blog” Blog Award and the "Arte Y Pico" Blog Award.

Thanks, Mich! You're a peach!!! I love your blog too!!!

Scroll down to check out the blogs I've chosen to pass on the awards to!

The rules for the I Love Your Blog award are:
1. Link back to the person who gave you the award.
2. Include the award on your blog.
3. Pass it on to 7 worthy bloggers with links to their blogs on yours.
4. Notify your recipients.

1. Penny at Diosa Domestica de la Locura - always a fresh perspective
2. Romancing the Blog - romance writers share their thoughts on writing romance, reading in general and life
3. Peter at Film Chat - I find a LOT of movie news here and lots to think about too.
4. Sarah at Teach a Fish - I love seeing how Sarah homeschools and parents!
5. Jennifer at Black Pearl Academy - Jennifer is honest about her homeschooling challenges and successes. Plus she's one of my best friends! :-) (I'm also looking forward to Bella's Bookshelf once she gets that underway!)
6. Jimmie at One Child Policy Homeschool - Jimmie found me through the Simple Woman Daybook, if I recall correctly. She homeschools in China and writes a very interesting blog!
7. Maybe this is cheating, but I'd like to list all of my sisters' blogs here too. Since I have 4 sisters and I read all of their entries, those are definitely blogs I love! However putting all 4 on this list separately would have filled it up fast. So, here are the links - LOVE YOU ALL!

Janet - Camp Run-A-Muck
