A very special ‘thank You’ to a sweet and lovely person and a talented children’s book author, Deanie Dunne, for nominating me for this award.   I feel honored to receive it. Deanie has become a special friend and supporter after having met her online.  Her friendship and support mean the world to me.

The rules for this award are:

1. Display the Award logo on your blog

2. Link back to the person who nominated you.

3. Nominate ten others you see as having an impact on your WordPress experience and family.

4. Let your ten family members know you have awarded them.

Unfortunately at this time due to the busy holidays ahead and my present work schedule editing I am unable to follow these rules.  Please forgive me for this oversight.

I have also been awarded two awards by a kind and generous fellow blogger, Don Charisma.

A special ‘thank you’ to Don Charisma for being so kind to award these two prestigious awards to me.  I deeply appreciate your support and friendship.
