Thank you SO much, Mortira for the nomination! what a wonderful surprise...and a lovely idea for an award :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you as well, Mortira! This is a MOST lovely surprise! I have to agree with Soapstar here: this a fantastic idea for an award! There are so many Etsy artisans who have inspired me in many ways and to have an award for them is stupendous idea!
ReplyDelete...Who do we contact about this stellar idea? (smile)
I wish I knew where the original Sunshine Award came from. Sometimes blog awards have a 'link back to us' rule, but when they don't the creator gets lost in the long, long chain of nominees.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much for including my piece in this fantastic feature! I greatly appreciate it.

What a wonderful surprise on a day I really needed it, thank you so much! :) My computer died this morning, upsetting listing & blogging plans until I can get a new one, but I'll make my post as soon as I'm on a computer (hopefully my new one!) long enough to do it. Again, thank you - for pointing me to some new-to-me blogs I can check out, and for really cheering up my dismal day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so honored to have been featured! What a great way to wake up. Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise when I logged into my shop today.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for including my focal on your sunshine post. What a lovely thought with the rain and wind lashing around my ears at present...my pc is under the eaves of my house...
I love your other choices, so much brightness and talent.
Many thanks again...
