It is true.
I have been given several awards this month.
By several, I mean five.
I know.
I can't believe it either.
Who would ever think of little ole me when handing out virtual awards?
I am beyond excited.
Really, I am.
I haven't been able to stop jumping up and down and doing back handsprings all over the house.
I am equally excited to share these awards with you, my bloggy friends.
Grab your favorite beverage, pull up a chair and get comfy.
This may take a while.
The first award I received was from Pattie, @ Pearls to Hide My Neck.
Don't you love that blog name? Me too.
I would like to pass this award on to:

Thanks Wendi! Right back at you babe!
Wow Miss Wendi! That was some list of awards and recipients!
Now I, too, am doing backflips. OK. I'm really not.
I figure at this stage of the game it could be hazardous to my health.
But rest assured - if I could, I would.
So I have a great big smile to start my day.
Which goes hand in hand with my award!
I will go forth and share more bloggy love ASAP!
Thank you! Thank you! xoxo R

Many thanks for giving me an award with no rules. You know me so well!
I've be meaning to post to your blog all week. I loved your post about your trip. The picture was just beautiful and the sentiments were even more touching. You made me cry!
So - have a fun day, Wendi Woo! I'm off to do some more blog stalking!!
"I've be meaning...."
Should read...
"I've been meaning..."
I need to learn to proof-read a little better, huh?
My boys were attempting some Hulk Hogan wrestling moves on my bed at the time! Did I mention that I also am sitting on the heretofore mentioned bed.....? Makes for fun typing!
Congratulations on all the awards! They are much deserved!!

Congrats on all these great awards - WOW! And Thanks so much for passing this Brillante Weblog Award on to me - I'm so honored!
Take care - Kellan
Thank you for my love... it did brighten my day after driving almost 3 hours thru the mountains to visit a client...when i showed up he said he only had 15 minutes for me... nice!
THanks Wendi, that was a nice treat! I don't think I know that many bloggers to give all the awards you gave out! You go girl, you are popular (and more importantly, well loved!)
Wow... congrats for all of your awards Wendi. Well deserved!
Congratulations everybody!
Great choices, Wendi.
Congrats on all of those awards! And I like the idea of passing them on in one post . . .genius!
Awww...thank you for the award. I like this idea of saving them up to award all at once (not that I'm overwhelmed by receiving too many awards or anything).
I'm excited to see what you come up with for my shower curtain contest. Come back tomorrow because I have another giveaway planned.
Oh Wendi! You've made my day. You're so sweet. Aly
Wow thanks for the love!
What's odd is. I already came and said thanks. I guess I somehow managed to click on publish your comment incorrectly because my previous comment is MIA.
Thank you, thank you!
Much appreciated. I am avoiding the handsprings due to fear they may be classed as exercise. But on the inside I am thrilled.
Holy Monoly... I got an award?? From the famous Wendi? I feel so incredibly honored!!! I promise to do my best and follow all the award rules listed therein... smile. I will post it soon, I seem to still be playing a vicious game of blogging catch up! Thank you... really... that is SO SO kind!
"wow i don't know what to say!.... i would like to thank my computer, my job for giving me the time to blog, and mostly the fans!" haha jk! thanks so much wendi- you make my day too! :)
