Nice Matters Award

Linda gave me this award for "being such an awesome friend". My heart is warm and fuzzy!! You too are a special friend Linda and I feel like I have known you for years.

This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also, for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you've been awarded please pass it on to 7 others who you feel are deserving of this award.

Now everyone on Linda's award list would have made mine too. I love all those ladies and they have all inspired me. I have come to think of Margaret as a close friend, and Darlene is about the most generous person I could come across. I don't think you could find a quilter that does not come under the description of this award. Since Linda already gave the award to some that I would have chosen, I will get to throw this out to even more deserving bloggers. Some are quilter's and some are not, but they are great inspiration and very nice! And Nice Matters!!

I assume Linda came up with this award since I did not read that anyone gave it to her, or she snatched it to give to others. Either way I want to officially award it back to her!

So my first award goes to Linda for her outreached hand of friendship. When I first started blogging I made a horrible mistake on my blog. She reached out to help me fix it and has been a close friend ever since. I so enjoy my phone calls with her several times a week. Thank you Linda for your friendship.

Next is Sue. Her blog Quilting Chatter is new, but she has been my friend for 24 + years and she is a huge inspirational asset to the blogging community. She is on the shy side, but easy to get to know.

Joni is one of the kindest women I could meet. She has reached out to me and my children and I feel like we have a very special connection. Her daily posts are full of interest and I so enjoy her.

Karolee is the most adventurous lady! She has a deep love for her God and her family and plans to hunt with a bow! She has my admiration.

Copper's Wife (Cheryl) has made me want to be a better wife and mother. Her devotion to God, her husband, children, and grandchildren can not be compared. She runs her household with a love that you can sense across the world wide web. I always read her blog in the morning with my coffee, a smile on my face, and a determination to be a better version of me.

Meggie who has the unbelievable gift of making anyone laugh. I mean LAUGH!!! This lady can tell a story! You are a sweetie and you are not kidding anyone...we all know that GOM (grumpy old man) is a real sweetheart himself!

Belvie who I am convinced is a friend anyone would want to have. She recently had both of her children move on with their lives in a different state and her life as an empty nester began. Though she misses her children terribly, she is showing courage and a great talent for hand applique!!!

Kim, who like Meggie will make you laugh even on one of her bad days! She has a great talent for quilting and life! I never miss one of her posts!

Melzie whose blog was one of the first one's I ever read. She has a love for her kids and her husband that is deep. She is a fun mom and faithful to her friends and church. I still read every time she posts!

Libby who has such a sweet spirit about her. She is still madly in love with her husband after 28 years of marriage. Her lifestyle is something to be admired. She inspires me.

OK, so I know I went over 7...I am a home school teacher you know! I could keep going but I will leave some bloggers for these ladies to award. Especially Sue, who, I left some I know she will want to give out. ;) This is really not fair as I have at least a dozen more awards to give out!!! I am thinking I spend too much time on the computer.
