Melissa of Melissa's Jewelry and Gemstone blog has nominated my blog for an "I Love Your Blog" award, and I am truly flattered. It's nice to hear that someone enjoys your blog!!

Now I need to nominate 7 other blogs that I enjoy. Narrowing it down is not easy... I've got so many favorites at the moment ;)

If you are nominated, and choose to display the logo, you should follow these simple steps, after accepting your award:

1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
2. Link the person you received the award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of the nominated blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominated.
