Thanks Kym!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Kym over at <a href="http://kyandra10.blogspot.com/">Kyandra Rose</a> for passing the Happy 101 award to me. I'm chuffed to have received it, and for those of you who haven't yet visited, do yourself a favour and make sure you go see Kym. Here's a snippet:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgofUW1u5zw8JkV1OwufwU_uMvu1HrV8tT-cFxoBfzjvYSF90O6I2H0s357HeSP89jR2LuGge4-lxomAV_9D2r0RA3y1dbatEzLt-bI2nT8yFh3hhRoVgLoHaMmKifERYKg10922fJEeoM/s1600/kyandra10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgofUW1u5zw8JkV1OwufwU_uMvu1HrV8tT-cFxoBfzjvYSF90O6I2H0s357HeSP89jR2LuGge4-lxomAV_9D2r0RA3y1dbatEzLt-bI2nT8yFh3hhRoVgLoHaMmKifERYKg10922fJEeoM/s640/kyandra10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><br />Thanks again Kym, and I hope everyone, especially all you mums out there, had a wonderful Mother's Day!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /></a>

Why thank you!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I'm feeling absolutely chuffed this week - I am the lucky recipient of two blog awards! Thanks so much to my sweet blog buddy Kerry at <a href="http://tranquiltownhouse.blogspot.com/">A Tranquil Townhouse</a>, and the lovely Judy at <a href="http://verandahhouse.blogspot.com/">Verandah House</a> for their kind awards - you've made my week! Add these to my award from the gorgeous Amanda at <a href="http://homely-one.blogspot.com/">Homely One</a> last week, and I'm one happy little camper!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsycqVSvU_FhNxvvHRuNi8RZaMat3eFuw0qVqrpt1Ay0_e5PcVh3MvaIVbMJtt_cZj0_EX34xyzWLUfGaI2RpyxUFWzZyEImfSZ0jAsBrF3hf4aGrOpmfVqZpzJgyfjIBeUoeD303eQoY/s1600/karate+award.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsycqVSvU_FhNxvvHRuNi8RZaMat3eFuw0qVqrpt1Ay0_e5PcVh3MvaIVbMJtt_cZj0_EX34xyzWLUfGaI2RpyxUFWzZyEImfSZ0jAsBrF3hf4aGrOpmfVqZpzJgyfjIBeUoeD303eQoY/s320/karate+award.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJ_Iu6Dh1dmdFlioTm1C21PcxV_cVzv8DodUThflnxasEuaqSUXnKM9jf3E_ST99yuVVbnrj8ErYZbwTzLjhuHF7s0ws6SYg6H4rQSBM_09-IpO2oATAStD21uBgXtJ5SVWer4l-el_c/s1600/Picture+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJ_Iu6Dh1dmdFlioTm1C21PcxV_cVzv8DodUThflnxasEuaqSUXnKM9jf3E_ST99yuVVbnrj8ErYZbwTzLjhuHF7s0ws6SYg6H4rQSBM_09-IpO2oATAStD21uBgXtJ5SVWer4l-el_c/s320/Picture+4.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now, these would have to be some of the most generous and supportive and people ever, and they've made my foray into the blogosphere so much fun. Amanda was one of the very first people to leave a comment for me, and she's been such a sweetheart with her kind words and encouragement. Kerry's beautiful blog is like a breath of fresh air, her wit and personality shine through and she is just so lovely to boot. And I've been a long-time reader of Judy's for quite some time now, initially over at Lily-G and now at Verandah House. Her posts are so stylish and fabulous, and add to that her new adventure with a move to the Byron Bay hinterland, and you have blog heaven! All I can say is make sure you put aside some time to read these fantastic blogs, you'll be so glad you did! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">See you soon,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div>

My first award!

I came home late last night after a mid-week rugby game, tired and worn-out (no I didn't play, it's hard work being a spectator you know!) to find this waiting for me:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3isD17UDS1wu-gETGIZ6xllNS3zqKwmQLmpnDp3hmQNN2Zt5T_0Udn1F5gAj_HU6g7-XODAE5SldzaA8T0OZN4sXbIjZMhPrjAbVi3TE0n2GomA_6HXB7bVjff6Z6IPGbMPZ0BBl-QY/s1600/sunshineaward.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3isD17UDS1wu-gETGIZ6xllNS3zqKwmQLmpnDp3hmQNN2Zt5T_0Udn1F5gAj_HU6g7-XODAE5SldzaA8T0OZN4sXbIjZMhPrjAbVi3TE0n2GomA_6HXB7bVjff6Z6IPGbMPZ0BBl-QY/s200/sunshineaward.png" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The lovely Amanda from <a href="http://homelyone.blogspot.com/">Homely One</a> gave this to me and I'm thrilled with my first ever award! Amanda has been incredibly supportive since I started my blog, always taking the time to leave a lovely comment and generally just being a great big sweetheart! So thanks Amanda, and for those of you who haven't checked out her blog, you're missing out! I'm about to race out the door now but I'll be back later today to pass this on to some of my favourites.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Have a happy Friday,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Kerri xx </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
