Two wonderful suprises

I received this wonderful award from Shirley. http://cardartetc.blogspot.com/She used to live in Reno NV and now lives in kannopolis NC. She found me through the blogging world and since then we have communicated through e-mail. Shirley is so sweet and creative. She has helped me help the kids with their postcard tour around the world by posting on her blog and she has made the kids beautiful cards. I will have to take some pics and post soon. Shirley I am honored to receive my very first award and two at the same time. Thanks sweetie. The cyber world and all my cyber friends are growing and I love meeting all you wonderful ladies. Thanks for being you ! If you have never been to my site please please send us a postcard and post about it on your blog. See at top of blog for details. The following in not in any particular order. Okay so I added one more person. I am a rebel and break the rules! The rules are I am to: A. Display the award on my site, B. Hyperlink back to Tasha's blog, C. Give the award to 8 more people D.then notify them of receiving the award and E. Advise them to pick it up at my site. Below is a translation of the Portuguese words and the rules for the award:Translating the words on the above award from Portuguese to English: "This blog award invests and believes in proximity - (creating friendships)!" [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy]. These are the other words to be included with the award: These blogs are exceedingly charming. These bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these awards are cut, even more friendships are propagated.
