A Heartfelt Blogger Award

Kristi at Books and Needlepoint just sent me this lovely picture and a Heartfelt Blogger Award. Here's what she says...

Do you reach for a cup of cocoa or tea when you're relaxing, seeking comfort, sharing a plate of cookies with family and friends? You know that feeling you get when you drink a yummy cup of cocoa, tea or a hot toddy? That is what the Heartfelt award is all about: feeling warm inside!

Well, the cookies would have to be gluten-free, which probably means most of my family and friends wouldn't like them (though seriously, some gluten-free cookies are really and truly delicious, especially peanut butter... Mmmm). But yes, I do reach for the cocoa, tea or coffee while reading many blogs, and I guess I'm meant to pass on the award to some. (Up to nine it says, but I'm only a poor mathematician. I'm not sure I can count that high and read, both at the same time - especially not if I'm drinking coffee and eating deliciously sweet and crumbling peanut butter cookies...)

So, a few of my favorite blogs, besides Kristi's, which you really should visit...

Tilly the Rescue Dog, 'cause she's sweet and cute and fun and I love dogs.

Bo's Blog, 'cause he's very cute and fun too - is there a theme here?

Romance Author Terry Spear, cause wolves are almost dogs aren't they, and her wolves are, well, a bit special.

Moonlight, Lace and Mayhem - usually more moonlight and lace, and always a delight, plus I've won some lovely books there to read while drinking coffee and eating cookies.

Sia McKye, who always offers coffee with her thoughts.

Lynn Mosher's Heading Home, except she's already a heartfelt winner. Her posts are always so uplifting and inspiring.

Musings from Down Under - likewise inspiring, lovely pictures and words

Peace be the Journey, which always has helpful and interesting articles for an aspiring writer.

And finally, Jack Regan's Writing Ramblings, which frequently has me spluttering cookie crumbs into my coffee.

Okay, that's my list. And hey, I sort of did 9, if you count Lynn who's already got one. (Who knows, maybe everyone else already has one too. But more cocoa or tea and cookies... who's complaining...)
