After a rough day at work - it was beyond exciting to open my blog yesterday and find that not only did I receive an award - BUT I received 2!!

So the first award from - In The Forest was the Great Blog Neighbor Award!

1. BookNAround

2. Metroreader

3. Tina Says . . .

4. Reading Without Restraint

These blogs above have been inspiration when I started and have helped me network to find followers and blogs I have loved to follow.

My second award was the Bodacious Award from CMash Loves to Read! Thanks!!
