Paying Forward: The Bloom of an Idea Award

I have recently won a couple awards and both were the pay it forward type in one way or the other. I thought that since I reached my 20th follower this past week, I would give a award to all of you who clicked 'follower' when I have so few, inspired me by something you wrote on your own blogs and made me a follower of you.

The Bloom of an Idea Award goes to those who gave me something to think about--from your own post or a comment on my own. I am glad to have you and hope to hear from all of you soon. And I hope you enjoy this thank you.

  5. No problem folks. My pleasure. I enjoy this blogging community a great deal and have enjoyed all your blogs and comments.

    And Lydia, I created this particular award. The first I have made. I was glad it turned out. Its a picture I took at a local garden (the same in past blogs) and some text with the help of Adobe Photoshop. It was kind fun to make.

    Thanks again guys!

  10. Thanks, Nicole. It is a beautiful award. And thanks even more for the insightful, appreciative comments on my blog -- they mean a lot to me.

    You will get more followers as the days go by for yours is a great blog. My first days blogging I felt like I was playing to an empty house. But you are not.

    You might want to have a stat counter installed on your blog so that you can see how many stop by without commenting. It might help give you a better idea of how many you are reaching, Roland
