I smell some lemonade!


You all are too sweet to have nominated me for my first blog award...THE LEMONADE AWARD.


I was nominated by three lovelies...DecoAurora's Mslay; Head to Toe with Heidi's HeidiG, and Three Sparrows and Some Sparkle's sparrowsandsparkles. I blush!


The award is for sites that demonstrate great attitude and/or gratitude in general.
"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."
Upon receiving the Lemonade Award, you also pass it on to other bloggers who you think show great attitude and or gratitude.

Here are the rules:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post
2. Nominate at least 5-10 blogs that show great Attitude and or Gratitude.
3. Be sure to list and link nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they have received this award by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received your award.
So here are my nominees for the Lemonade Award.
These are blogs/sites where the owner shows a positive and/or humorous take on life, as well as shows gratitude/thankfulness for life in general:

(Here is my caveat--all of these blogs that I follow have been nominated multiple times by others for this award--so I will be a bit different--I will post their web address and in one sentence say what I LOVE about their site!)
