Lori Franks of Sunny Side Up (who hasn’t posted very much in a long time) awarded me my first blog award:
Thanks Lori! I miss you.
I passed that award on here.
***
Then, Georgette Sullins gave me this one in early December:
This award takes a lot of work. You have to let folks know what you think are seven of your best posts. Here is my answer.
From Arindam of Being Arindam ….
I received
The Candle Lighter Award
This award is for those bloggers whose words light the way through the blogosphere. It originated for blogs “that bring light to the world [and offer] inspiration, hope, optimism, good advice, faith filled assurances, and even humor.”
There are no rules for this award. It’s just a way of pointing out inspirational blogs. To that end, I would like to pass the “Candle Lighter Award”
I don’t know that my snarky blog really qualifies, but I thank Arindam, nevertheless, and gave it out in this post.

From Janice at
AURORA MOREALIST ©2011 ~ Writer
I got three awards!
The Kreativ Blogger Award

and
One Lovely Blog Award

and
The Versatile Blogger Award
Whoa, Janis, THANKS!

Well, it was the Holiday Season, and there were lots of awards going around. Another came from Lorre at Articles of Absurdity
The (Red) Educational Shoe Award
A shoe I could never, ever have walked in. Thank god, all I had to do was post a picture!
***
Susan at SusanWritesPrecise
gave me this:
The Awesome Blog Content Award
Which, in a moment of exhaustion trying to figure out who to give which award to, I actually re-nominated Susan for the very award she had given to me. Which means I was very tired and that there was very likely wine involved.
More recently, I’ve gotten a couple of others:
From TwinDaddy of Stuph Blog I got this pretty one:
From
From Oracular Spectacular (http://oracularspectacular.wordpress.com/)

Janice at Aurora Morealis recently gave me the {Booker} Award.
And of course, there’s Oscar

Hi – I’m a new follower & I just received the Liebster Blog Award & the Candle Lighter Award. Could you tell me how you attached these to your page?
LikeLike
Yes! It took me about 3 months to figure it out, actually, so I am glad to help. Right click on the picture and click on the “Copy Image Location”. Then, in your Dashboard, go into widgets, click on the “Image” widget and add the image location to the URL line. That should do it!
Congratulations!!!

Hi Hidayah,
These awards are given by fellow bloggers. There are lots of them – they will come.
I recommend reading and commenting on other people’s posts, and that will lead them back to your blog. Feel free to click on any of the commenters in my posts. It is a nice group of folks, and they’re always looking for new people to read.
The rest will come!
Good luck and welcome to blogging!
Elyse

When I saw your masthead picture, I immediately knew where it was. I grew up on the islands of Maine. Once you’ve spent enough time there, you can tell a Maine island from any other island purely on instinct. Mount Desert is an especially pristine location. Next time you’re up to Maine, check out Peaks Island. It’s about a twenty-minute ferry ride from Portland.
Two more connections: My mum’s from Fairfield County (Redding) and my housemate’s from northern Virginia (Alexandria). Small world.
Congrats on all your well-earned awards. Keep up the funny.

And here’s yet one more, because I’ve been enjoying your blog and I’m nominating you for another Versatile Blogger Award!

So do I, and so here ya go!

The image bar did not work. I tried it. I got the Liebster award 6 or 7 times as a result. I kept telling people that I was an award winning blogger — of an award for blogs that no one reads …

Yeah..that was a lot of crap and there is probaby a better way. LIke clicking their pic and copying their link into your image bar in widgets. See…easier!
I still have to do a bunch of stuff for other awards I received. It’s overwhelming. I may need to cut corners because I suck.

Copy and paste each pic/paste into your library/go to the pic in library..copy copy the link/go to widgets/select images/paste link there…………………………
It’s how I do it at least. If there is a better way, I’d love to know.
