Last week (on my birthday coincidentally) we were given the One Lovely Blog from our good friend Katherine at Life With Arie.
If you are unfamiliar with Life With Arie, you should head on over and check it out. Katherine is currently doing an A to Z blog challenge, and just recently hit the half-way mark, if you hurry you can catch up. 😉
For some reason I just can’t figure out HOW to get this dang award in my side-bar, so I’m plopping it right smack in the middle!
1. Link back to the one who gave you this award – see above
2. Pass the award on to 15 other lovely bloggers.
While I love each and every one of your blogs, I decided to go with some blogs that I’ve only recently begun following. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
3. Follow the person who presented you with the award. Done. 🙂
I am also presenting this award to The (mis)Adventures of Sage, sadly they lost a member of their pack today, so if you have a moment, pop over and say hello. I know a kind word would be appreciated right now.
Thanks again to our friend Katherine at Life With Arie, for this awesome award!
And I’m not really sure what’s up with this formatting. It looks fine in the template, but when I hit publish it’s all smushed up.

Congrats on your award and a very Happy (belated) Birthday to you!
Thank you!!
Congratulations Jodi. Your blog fully deserves a Lovely Blog award!
Sad news about Toby 🙁
Thanks Bassa, yes it is very sad. It breaks my heart everytime my blogville sisters and brothers lose a member of their pack.
Congrats on your award Jodi!
Thank you Donna!
Congrats! As for formatting… don’t ask me! I still haven’t figured out how to put the icons that come in html code on my sidebar… barely managed to get some of them into my posts themselves…
Thanks Lexy. I think the formatting may have to do with the fact that I copied if from the presenting blog, that may have just been her formatting. Whatever it is I’m stymied. 🙁 This technology stuff isn’t always easy.
CONGRATULATIONS on being given this super award. AND… {{{BLUSH}}} THANK YOU fur passin it on to ME. THAT was so very nice of you.
You’re very welcome Frankie and Ernie, I like reading your blog and can’t wait to see who you pass it on to. 🙂
Thank you so much for this lovely award! It will be in Toby’s memory. And thank you for mentioning Toby in your blog. It means a lot! We’ll sure miss him…he was my best friend for many years.
You are very welcome.
I can only imagine what you are going through. Thinking of losing Sampson can literally put me in hysterics. My heart goes out to you.
