Inspirational Lemonade Photo Awards

Greetings and Salutations!

I don't know how or why, but I have a wicked hangover and I have not had a drop of alcohol or any recreational drugs. Plus my shoulders are stiffer than a Driving Tester's face.

The good news is: the sun is shining, some of the snow has melted and it's not bone chilling outside!

Today I will take some time to share the bountiful blog love that has come my way in the past few days. It's tag and award time!

Marianne tagged me with the Lemonade award. Thank you Marianne! Her lovely blog is chock full of amazing journal pages, art work, collages and observations. Please take some time and give her some blog ♥!

The rules are pretty standard for this award. This award is about Great Attitude and Gratitude! I have not been to any blog that doesn't have these amazing qualities. On days when I am feeling low, all I have to do is visit any one of your blogs and find my spirits lift and stir. Thank you sweet people!

I'm supposed to tag 10 people, but I like 9 better, so here we go :) This is some blog love and acknowledgment. It is not an obligation. You don't have to do anything with this except smile and know you are loved and appreciated! :)

1. Judi at Mindmists whose humour and down-to-earth attitude never ceases to put a smile on my face and a song in my heart. :)

2. Rebecca at Just a Thought whose incredible writing makes my skin and blood undulate with thrills! :)

3. Ms Scorpio at Inevitable Regeneration whose blogs always make me smile, and ponder, and laugh out loud. :)

4. BohoMama at Words from a Bohemian Mom is a free spirit whose perspective is solidly unique, and uniquely solid! :)

5. Jane at Painted House 52 whose strong voice and attitude come shining through on her blog. :)

6. iGodess at iGodess whose rockalicious funkadelity will shazam you! :)

7. Tori at Tori's Path whose energy and vivaciousness are deliciously contagious! :)

8. Tracy at Seaside Enchantment whose gratitude lists make my soul soar! :)

9. Tabby at I Choose Bliss whose heart can encompass the world and uplifts every soul that visits her blog! :)

I had much more of these to hand out, but I would be here for days posting. :) I will get all the rest of the lovelies next time :)

Last but not least, I was tagged both by June at Arty Retreat whose amazing Art and art Challenges are fun and fascinating, not to mention, June is an awesome person; and Peppylady at Peppylady Almost Perfect World whose outlook and lovely crafts are a feast for the soul. Thank you ladies! Please take some time and give them some blog ♥!

This is a phototag and I have two different sets of instructions: One is to find the 6th pic in the 6th folder and the other is the 4th in the 4th, so I will split the difference! Here is the 5th pic in my 5th folder... hehe I am supposed to tag others, but I am leaving an open tag to anyone who wants to play! :)

This is from my house and homes folder of images. Isn't this room absolutely dreamy? Look at the view and the grand piano. I can see myself spending many a blissful day and night there! How about you?
