I so enjoy all of my blogging friends. On September 8th, I will have been blogging here at Blogspot for an entire year. When I made my blog there is no way I could have known all the wonderful friendships that I would make in such a short time. I'd like to thank Everyone for their comments, kind words and support over the last year. In honor of your friendship, I would like to award you with the Autumn Friends Award. This is for all of you who have commented and visited with me. I hope you enjoy it. This award can be passed on if you wish.
Over the course of the year, I have made some very special blogging friends. These are people who not only visit my blog but those who I communicate with on a regular basis. The award above is for those special friends and is a gift. It is not meant to be passed on.Hootin' Anni- Thank you, Anni for my beautiful autumn blog banner and background.

ReplyDeleteOh Mary, thank you so much for both award buttons...I thank God the day that I first met you online and then in person. You truly are the definition of "friend" and I treasure our friendship. Love you! xoxo
I love you dear.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Oh my what a adorable button!
ReplyDeleteThe friendship one is so special and you are special to me too!!! I am so happy I came across your blog last fall. You had a wonderful post about growing up on a farm or visiting one when you were a young girl. It took me back to my childhood and I knew right that minute I would be comming back to this blog over and over!!!
Your E- mails to me when the days are dark and I am having a hard time have been so appreciated! You have made it easier to keep on keeping on with someone who is like Nancy. Thank you!
Thank you for the buttons! I am proud to have them both. Love and hugs Grams

Congrats Mary, it is my pleasure and honor to blog with you:) God Bless.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 1st year. Also thanks for you visits to my blog and all the kind words. They are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI’m supposed to be mostly retired but the small construction business I started has taken off too strong. Long work days followed by paperwork has kept me from visiting your blog as much as I would like too.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Cheers
I'm honored by the awards, Mary. I'll display them proudly on my awards page. Thank you so much, and thank you for being my friend.

Thank you so much, Mary. Your Blog is truly a nice little "nook" where I can go and read all kinds of things and a sharing place where I gain more information about working with our autistic grandkids to flowers/plants -all kinds of things -and especially, Thankfulness too -to thank and give praise to all the wonderful things that are in our own little worlds as well as across the big, vast globe!
