My First Blog Award(s)!!!

I feel just terrible! I was given this wonderful award earlier this month by three - yes, THREE, fantastic bloggers, and I haven't even acknowledged it until now! I'm so sorry, ladies....I've been all caught up in preparing for surgery next week and just didn't take the time to properly thank you!

So....a HUGE, hearty thanks to Kristen at Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker , Jennifer at Cooking Like a Frugalite, and Amy at Cutting Coupons in KC. I so completely appreciate you!!!

The Lemonade Award is given by a previous winner to 10 people who have shown a great attitude or gratitude this week. It’s a great way to show these people that you appreciate them. So.....I am bestowing the award on the following blogs, in blog alphabetical order:

Beth at $20 Challenge for Charity

Cynthiaa at Confessions of a Yummy Mummy

Ali at Divine Domesticity

JodieMo at Eatin' on the Cheap

Jessica at Finding the Joy in the Journey

Stephanie at Fun Foods on a Budget!

Minda at Minda Homemaker

Michelle at Momstoppable

Annie Jones at Real Life Living

and last but definitely not least.....

Jackie at Save a Dime in '09

In addition, I want to give a special honorable mention to the following blog, but I don't want her to feel obligated to pass along the award, as she is dealing with some personal issues right now and I don't want to add any stress:

CookinsforMe at Plain Ol' Food

Congratulations to all the above blogs - I enjoy keeping up with every one of them and they are run by truly remarkable individuals who are worthy of more than a simple award! Be sure to visit their blogs - I'm sure you will be hooked!!!

Please accept my apology for my delay in passing along the award. I really do appreciate it greatly - I just let life get in the way!

And if you're an award recipient, please read the following, which I did pilfer from Cooking Like a Frugalite! :-)
