An Award-O-Rama

I'm so behind passing on awards, it's a good thing my teaching contract has given us a Spring break or I'd never catch up on the things I've been meaning to do!

Bestowed on me the most recently, by the Chic Geek, is The Proximidade Award:

"This blog invests and believes in the Proximity - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this clever-written text into the body of their award."

The eight fellow bloggers I'd like to pass this on to are:

1. Lesley
2. Bookfool
3. CJ
4. Gina
5. Princess Haiku
6. Sandy
7. Chris
8. Lorraine



Sandy gave me the I 'heart' Your Blog, which I am passing on to:

1. Sam
2. Qugrainne
3. Bookgirl
4. Booklogged
5. California Teacher Guy
6. Kailana
7. Carl V.
8. Mother Pie
9. Terri B.
10. Tamara


CJ, at My Year of Reading Seriously, gave me the Sisterhood Award. We are to nominate up to ten bloggers, whom we consider our sisters in the blogging community, and so I nominate:

1. Lesley at Lesley's Book Nook
2. Bookfool at Bookfoolery and Babble
3. Tanabata at In The Spring It Is The Dawn
4. JoAnn at Lakeside Musings
5. Sara at Make Music From Your Heart To The Lord
6. Beverly at Lacoochee Kid
7. Robin at A Fondness For Reading
8. Madeleine at Madeleine's Book and Photo Blog
9. Trish at Trish's Reading Nook
10. The Chic Geek at The Chic Geek

Blessings on each one of you, and thank you for enriching my life through blogging,

  17. And I'm so behind on thanking you for passing the award on to me! Sorry! I haven't been very good about visiting blogs lately but you made my day. I'm so glad our mutual love of Japanese literature brought us together, as it were. :)

  18. Bellezza, Thank you for the award! I've been away from blogging for a bit due to illness. I sure would rather be blogging than sitting around doctor offices and labs! The award has cheered me up, so, again, thank you :o)

    I enjoyed your post with the photos of your Bible and that wonderful looking notebook. Such a cheerful looking little book. I too like the NKJV but often find myself reading from the NIV and NLT as well. I like the way NKJV keeps some of the poetic nature of the old KJV ... so beautiful.
