I won an award!!!

As many of you know, some bloggers are awarded for their blogs. This is not my goal for blogging, but I appreciate it, if someone likes my blog enough to award me with a award button. Patrice over at Everyday Ruralty sent me a message this week, that she had awarded my blog:) I just got to know Patrice through Java's meme: "Meet me on Monday" and loved her country blogging style. She made me drool with her pictures of picking apples and pears!

I would like to forward this award to the following 11 blogs!

1. Shilo is one of my close friends in real life! She moved to Paraguay a little over a year ago and I have gotten to know and cherish her in this past year. You'll find her inspiring blog here: http://myplaceofpeace.blogspot.com/

2. Betty is a blogger that I also know in real life. Her blog describes her journey through her 40's, empty nesting and caring for aging parents. I've learned so much from her posts. She's taking a break from blogging now, but I hope she'll start again some day. http://glimpseintomidlife.blogspot.com/

3. My aunt is also a blogger and I'm so proud to have an author of various books as my relative. T. Dora's blog is here:  http://doradueck.wordpress.com/

4. The girls over at "Mennonite Girls can cook" deserve more than an award. I'd like to give them a hug for all of the delicious recipes they have been posting so regularly. Find them here: http://mennonitegirlscancook.blogspot.com/

5. While we're already looking at recipe blogs, I can't forget to mention Bakerella. She's famous in blogland! Check out her cakepops and all the other delish stuff she has on her blog: http://www.bakerella.com/

6. Cake Wrecks is hilarious! It makes me look like a professional cake decorater! http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

7. Donna lives in a house on a corner. I also met her through Meet me on Monday, and we have a lot of things in common. I love her picture on her blog title:) http://donnashouseonthecorner.blogspot.com

8. Weezer is one of my sweetest commenters! She's having surgery this week and she can use our prayers. Check her blog out here: http://weezershaven.blogspot.com

9. Ann's blog is one of the first I ever followed. Her Virtual-Girls-Night-Out meme was the first I ever participated in, even before I knew how to pronounce "meme":) (sounds like "dream") http://www.annagainandagain.com/

10. Ellen is sweet and smart. I like that she researched an "urban legend" the other day, it made me start thinking about not believing everything I read on blogs! Thanks, Ellie http://ellieisanewthing.blogspot.com/

11. Julie is a fellow paraguayan. She's a missionary living in the southern part of Paraguay, and I love reading about her family and work with the people of Paraguay. http://juliespages.blogspot.com/

1. Post the award on your blog with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

Sorry for not nominating 15 blogs, as I was supposed to. I hope you take the time to check out some of my blogging friends some time. 

Hugs, from Paraguay, Brenda
