The Versatile Blogger awardWow! What an honor!! My first “blogging” award EVER — The Versatile Blogging Award!!!! Thank you, Sharon at Day in the life of a Busy Gal… blog! This was such a surprise! Sharon is an amazing woman and lovely writer! I love reading her posts! She is such an inspiration!

Now on to the VBA rules and my list of 15 nominated blogs. I am choosing blogs I’ve just discovered and that have resonated with me on some level. You will see an eclectic mix here — different paths, crafts and occupations sprinkled with some good old-fashioned camaraderie! :) Enjoy!

VBA Rules:

  • Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy. (check — see above)
  •  Include a link to their blog. (check — see above)
  •  Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. (Okay, the VBA admin says to pick blogs that are “excellent”, however this is relative to each blogger. I am picking out blogs that I am glad I found, or that the post I found really resonated with me.) (check — see below)
  •  Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site. (check — see below PS .. this is not easy and to be honest, I think 15 is FAR FAR FAR too many; 5 would have been so much easier)

OMG … well, honestly, this wasn’t as fun as I thought. I got through the 15 blogs. I love the concept of this … it could use some work and be tweaked. But I will gladly show off my new badge ;) Thanks again, Sharon! You are a gem!!! Now I am off to let these people know I nominated them with the Versatile Blogger Award.
