I got a dollar, I got a dollar, I got a dollar, hey, hey, hey, hey.*

You like me! You really like me!* Ahem...I've prepared a speech unfolding the old, wrinkled paper that has been folded and unfolded many times I would like to thank the blogger academy as well as my parent's and all of my reader's for this award. Especially Gingerella for giving me this award. That's right folks, I have been given an award. That means I made an impression on someone. It's a dream come true. I will try to hold back the tears.

When I started this blog a little over 2 years ago I started it as a way to keep in touch with my family. A newer, funner version of mass e-mail. As time progressed and Blogger came out with "followers" I realized that what I really wanted was a pinch of blogger fame. Finally, I have some recognition. This award is a little pay-it-forward like. First, anyone who receives this award must first link the person who gave them the award i.e. Gingerella (that name is a link, in case it doesn't show up).

The second thing the recipient must do is choose only 15 bloggers to give this award to. This proved to be no easy decision. So without further adieu here is my list of Beautiful Bloggers. (Click on blog names to be redirected to the blog).

1. Elaina at Yesterday's Happenings

2. Emily at The Reluctant Triathlete

3. Ed at The Weekend Warrior

4. Amber at Peace Be Still
