There is a list of rules, for each award, that I will include at the end of this post. Meantime, I want to share a special list of blogs, that I follow and that, most, also follow greenlightlady. I really enjoy the following list, and I suspect I’ve left some out as there are many others I also like to read. But this is my current short list. The first one is my husband’s blog & he recently transformed my computer from a slug into a dragonfly… he’s my hero!

If you find yourself on this list, please take it as a very special compliment from me, and only as a nomination if you would like it to be. I know that some bloggers prefer not to accept awards, and I’d like to respect that wish while still promoting your site. But if you would like any of these awards please, do, help yourself – because I just love following each of your blogs. And if you already have all of these awards, then I hope by listing you here that someone else will now enjoy your blog too!
