Hugs and good thoughts abound...

I stopped by Joan’s wonderful blog
Drawing on Nature yesterday to get my weekly fix and discovered she had sent this award my way. A pleasant and sweet surprise, Joan. Thank you. And now I’m passing it along to other bloggers who have enriched my life with the art and thoughts they express on their blogs.

I first encountered Sherry of Late B(l)oomer at the Shelfari website and learned about EDM from her. Sherry’s blog is an eclectic goldmine of art, poetry, historic family photos and tales, recipes and photographs. Marta's joyful exuberance shines through on all her posts. I love visiting her blog. The quality and variety of Diahn’s art at Ottwork is always a pleasure. Martha at Trumpetvine Travels produces lovely, soft paintings of local scenes and leaves kind, encouraging comments on the sites she visits. Finally, be sure to check out the beautiful work at Karen Blados Design. Her artwork is lovely and her posts about life with young children are interesting and amusing.

The participation rules are simple:
1. If you get tagged (and want to play along), write a post with links to blogs that you love
2. 2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme, created by Emila.
