Two Awards to start my weekend

The first award I received is from Susan. She's a newcomer to Animal Wednesday and a new friend to my blog. We share a deep love for animals and a passion for art. She has a wonderful rescue Beagle named Cosmo who is also a therapy dog. Please pay her a visit at her studio!

I'm supposed to pass this along to 12 friends I think are deserving, but all of you know I don't play by the rules when it comes to awards :)

Every one of you is important and meaningful to me. Your continued support is immeasurable.

Please take this award and consider yourself loved and appreciated by me.

Thank you Susan!

The second award is from Deepa in Dubai. She's a soft-spoken, quiet little artist with a huge heart. She takes the time to visit everyone and her words are a ray of sunshine. I don't get to her blog as often as I should and yet she still gives me this award. Thank you Deepa! My heart is grateful ;)

Again, dear friends, please help yourself to this award. Your comments keep me buoyed and encouraged to post my art attempts. You are deeply appreciated.

Please visit these two ladies. You'll be glad you did!

Life Is A Breeze!

A sweet award has been given to me by the wonderful Caroline over in Malaysia,

and designed by the talented Peter Breese.

She is an amazing, accomplished artist who inspires everyone around her. I was honored that she wanted my pigeon envelope and happy that she had won it! She sent me a lovely origami butterfly card in return which I will send as a letter to someone once I move back east.

For all of you who have given me awards in the past, you know I don't follow the rules! I just can't name a few of you to pass it on to because you all touch my heart and feed my soul and encourage me to keep on keeping on.

You're my extended family in a way and I'm crazy about all of you!

Caroline also gave me the Renee Award, given to me by Ms. Renee herself as well. You can see it in my sidebar to the right. I promised Renee I'd always keep it on top ;)

This loving award was given to me by a new friend Deepaz in Dubai!

She's an enthusiastic little artist who has a huge heart. Thank you my friend!

So please take these awards because all of you deserve them, and pass them along as you see fit.

If you play by the rules, pick six people to pass the "You Make Life A Breeze" award to, and 7 people for the "I Love Your Blog" award.

Thanks again ladies!! xoxo
