I got the Versatile Blogger Award!


I was informed that I received the Versatile Blogger award the other day and have been procrastinating, in between writing, but have finally told myself, Karen you really need to post this" So here it is...

BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME! And I am very honored to have received it.

First The Rules

Everything in life has rules, and the Versatile Blogger award is no different. So here goes.
(Actually this is probably the easiest part!)

1. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post.
Thank you Debra. I am honored and surprised, because I wasn't expecting this. :-)
I love following Debra's Blog. She has been very supportive and helpful and always has a kind word and puts up with all my dumb questions. I hope you will follow her also and don't forget to follow her on twitter too!

    1. I know, isn't it terrible! Everyone picks on me about not being a fan of the Beatles, even my sons! My sisters 7 and 9 years older than me, were huge fans, so that's why I know most of the words.
      I hope you are feeling better. Migraines are miserable!
