Thanks to Alicia of http://waxylady.wordpress.com/ for awarding me this “One Lovely Blog” award. I am honored, touched and proudly accept it and now pass it on.

The rules are:
- Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.
- Pass the award on to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered (or as many as you can).
Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
Here are my choices (in no particular order – some are creative blogs, others are business related so they are important to me, and still others are just fun):
Alicia Vilas, http://waxylady.wordpress.com (Helping you create a warm inviting home, so you can focus on the important things in life.) We took a Social Media Made Simple class together. She is at the head of the class and doing awesome things with what she has learned!
