Dear Friends,
I wish I could express my appreciation, joy, and *surprise* over having Cottage Blessings nominated for a number of Homeschool Blog Awards. It is no exaggeration to say that seeing the name of this blog included on those lists gave me goosebumps and put a smile on my face that has lasted a week already. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those of you who nominated me and the readers kind enough to visit here.
Thanks to your generosity, Cottage Blessings appears in the following categories: Best Homeschool Mom Blog, Best Crafts, Plans and Projects Blog, Best Encourager, "Live-What-You-Believe" Homeschool Blog, and--amazingly considering how old this blog feels to me--Best NEW Homeschool Blog. (It was begun in 2006, after all!)
Many of my dearest friends and cyber neighbors are also on those lists including last year's Best Mom blog winner, Lissa (Here in the Bonny Glen), Lissa (The Lilting House), Karen (Karen Edmisten), Margaret (Minnesota Mom), Elizabeth (Real Learning), Mary Ellen (O Night Divine), Dawn (By Sun and Candlelight), Jennifer (As Cozy and Spring), Suzanne (Blessed Among Men), Jennifer (s/v Mari Hal-o-Jen), Ann (Mozart & Mud Pies), Leonie (Living Without School), Diane (The Journey of a Mother's Heart), Theresa (Lapaz Farm Home Learning), Danielle (Danielle Daily), Cheryl (My Thoughtful Spot), Love2Learn Blog, Maureen Wittmann, Amy (Among Women), Cay (Cajun Cottage Under the Oaks), Nina (Painted Rainbows and Chamomile Tea), Lindsey (Enjoy the Journey), Elena (My Domestic Church), Higher Up and Further In, Semicolon, ChesterTeens, and Michael Foss (Van Goal). [Forgive me for not including links to these wonderful blogs, but I'm running out of computer time! If you are unfamiliar with any of these, you may find the links on the nominations page: Who Has Been Nominated? Final List! Now, I am petrified that I might have missed someone!]
Please vote here.
Congratulations, my dear sweet friend!! You deserve each award for which you've been nominated!! :)
