I have recieved some truly beautiful awards over my blogging time, some right back in the beginning, and some more recently. What makes these awards so beautiful is that they are shared so freely with the love and kindness that stands for friendship. Naturally I love getting these awards, these gifts of friendship, but I find it hard to pass them on to just a few (truly puts my tummy in a knot to leave anyone out!). So today I am hosting a huge awards ceremony, where you're all invited, and you're all winners! Do you know what the best part is though? The best part is that really I am the winner, simply because I have you all to call FRIEND.
The Excellent Blog Award goes to you all, for I honestly think you each have excellent blogs, each in their own way. Please feel free to take your awards home with you and pass the gift of friendship on......Love Amanda xxx

Hi Amanda, I just came over from Our Red House. I've seen your name in the comments box of quite a few of the blogs I regularly read and thought I'd not lurk and come and say 'hi'. You've got an interesting blog and I'll be spending some time going through the archives! Thanks for writing.

Hi Amanda, I just had a very bad moment with a friend and thought I'd console myself with a little blogging, tears in all. You've absolutely made my evening.
Amanda, you made my night. Right now I feel like a great big loser (not totally fabulous at all) because I am just not skilled at computers and email systems and such. I need my own personal tech assistant! SO, thank you for awarding me with such a lovely prize, at least someone thinks I'm fabulous!
{HUGS} to you. Thanks so much for thinking of me!
xoxo
