Being Number 5 wins award!

Friends just when you don't expect it~ a blessing falls your way. I have been blogger friends with some great people in my short time blogging. One of my friends is Jean9 of Lapidary Queen Wannabees. She is caring, creative, talented and a very positive gal. Her website has fantastic jewelry creations. I have been voting for her daily on this link. If you would be so kind to participate, Jean and I would be forever grateful. Just click HERE and then click: Vote For Handcrafted Jewelry at DJsat Jewelry Galore. While you are there check out her darling Barefoot Sandals! She also has an extremely creative way to use a T-shirt to make a grocrey bag for all us greenies! (much cheaper than buying one)

But as soon as you read his blog, you will find that he has an amazing gift of seeing both sides of a situation and articulating his position in a clear and concise manner. Please visit his blog often to get a new perspective on the news!

McNelly Family Adventures. Christi is a wonderful example of one who knows her purpose and lives her life to the fullest. She is a very christian girl who lives out loud. By that I mean she talks the talk and walks the walk. You will find all the sincerety and kindness in the world speaking with her. Check out her blogs and see for yourself.

Tasha's Take Tasha is a beautiful talented writer. She is writing her first novel.. The Big Picture. I linked to that blog because she really works hard on the novel and would love some readers and feed back. Tasha really has a knack for writing but above that, she finds the time to comment on many blogs and maintain friendships. She is a compassionate and giving person. One of my blessed blogger buddies! Give her a look!

Vikki North Vikki's Fine Art Gallery is an absolute must see! She is an extrememly gifted artist. I have commited to owning one of her paintings. I am at a loss as to which one I love the most. She brilliantly writes a short story to accompany each work of art. Please don't miss this awesome treat for the eyes and soul!

Karen and Gerard Zemek Karen is a true jewel of a blogger buddy. She is one of the first to comment on a new post.
