The Creative Blogger Award And A Contest

I am blushing again.  OW over at Overwhelmed With Joy has bestowed upon my humbleness The Creative Blogger Award.

The award is described as...

For those who bring unique and creative elements to their blogs. For those who incorporate art, music, creative writing, photo's, and other beautiful visual effects into their website. For those who put a unique spin on things and come up with new ideas. This award is for the artsy, the funky, the inventor, and even the rebel. This award is for those creative individuals who stand out from the crowd.

OW had this to say...

In turn, I'd like to award this Creative Blogger Award to Melody at Slurping Life for organizing the Love for Parker fundraiser that raised over $2,700 for Parker and his family to be used for medical expenses! Great job, Melody! I'm impressed with your creative efforts to make this worthy effort such a success!

Thank you for the honor, but honestly the generous people who donated the prizes and the money are the ones I'd like to honor, and of course, God for his blessing.

As a bit of fun let me add that OW is having a contest at Overwhelmed With Joy.  She wants help in naming her new business...which is designing and making beautiful beaded jewelry and bookmarks.  The prize to the person creating the winning name is a choice of jewelry from her store.

Back to the fun part of receiving The Creative Blogger Award...passing it to a fellow blogger.  It is with great pleasure that I present The Creative Blogger Award to Emily of Wheels On The Bus for her ability to courageously write the story of her abusive childhood.  Emily's strength, perseverance and beautiful soul holds me in awe, and I applaud her ability to create a positive from something so negative as childhood abuse.  Emily is not only a creative blogger, but an inspiration to all who have lived the horror of abuse.  Thank you, Emily, for sharing what is a difficult story to tell.  This one is yours...
