Superior Scribbler Award

I would like to thank my friend, Lynn, at Rocky Creek Scotties for passing The Superior Scribbler Award to me. Thanks for the honor Lynn. I haven't gotten an award in ages!

She gave me this award and well, now that I'm posting it, I want to also ask anyone who reads my blog to go over to visit Lynn and read her post of January 13th about the earthquake in Haiti. She says everything I would like to say, only better.

Now, here are the rules for the award: Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most deserving Bloggy Friends. (There are so many blogs I love to follow that this is a difficult task.)

　 Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author and the name of the blog from whom she/he has received The Award. Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on her/his blog, and link to This Post,which explains The Award. Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit This Postand add her/his name to the Mr Linky List. That way,we'll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor! Since there are in excess of 1300 winners,we expect most of you have already received it. If you have, please accept it again. Today I pass the award to (in alphabetical order):

Asta's World ~ This blog is written from a Wire Haired Fox Terrier's point of view. As she words it: "a life consulting company specializing in canine and human angst". Asta has a way with words and because her 'mommy' is an accomplished artist her blog is always filled with amazing visuals.

Beyond Grace ~ It's hard to say exactly what Dawn's blog is about, because she not only tells of everyday happenings, but of deep feelings that tear at my heart. I'm waayyyy older than she is, but we are sisters in Christ, so I can really relate to her. ANd, I (generally) love the music that accompanies her posts!

Building A Log Cabin ~ This was the very first blog I ever read and is chocked full of gorgeous photographs! Shelley and her husband built their own cabin and Shelley's blog was mentioned in Log Cabin Living Magazine a few years ago. LCL has been one of my favorite mags for years...way before we ever built our log cabin! Anyway, after becoming a fan of Shelley's blog I decided to stop 'blog stalking' and start a blog of my own & the rest, as they say, is history.

Day By Day With Suz ~ Suz has a sharp wit and passes on some of the funniest family stories I've ever heard. Her hubby, teenage girls and Boxers usually tie into her stories somewhere. Some day we plan on opening up a comedy club together!

Going Gently ~ I do not even know how I stumbled upon John's blog a year ago, but I quickly became addicted to this Welsh nurse/gentleman farmer's stories of chickens, ducks, pigs and Welsh Terriers. Seems that John always has his plate full and often I'm tired after just reading about his work day!

So friends, those are my 5 choices for the Superior Scribbler Award. I hope you will check out each of these blogs and see why I enjoy them so much. They're all different, and all delightful!

Happy Thursday!

love,Cassie

Honest Scrap Award (part 1 of 2)

Suz from Day By Day...My Life As A Busy Bee picked the last seven people leaving comments to bestow this Honest Scrap award to. (I was one of the lucky seven.) I like that idea, so I will copy her, but will pick the 1st seven people who left comments(that haven't had the award yet). Yup, I find all the blogs I read are brilliant in either content or design.

The rules for this award are:

First, choose a minimum of seven blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.

Secondly, show the seven winners' names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap".

Lastly, list at least ten honest things about yourself.

This should be fun, as I don't know if Airedales are noted for their honesty! (At least I know BabyRD is a sneak!) Here goes:

1- Noah's Bark is a journal of the adventures of 4 lovable Airedales from Down Under. Denise & Bryan, the Dale's folks run a B & B so there are also yummy food pictures & you know how I love that!

2- Molly & Taffy of Terrier Fun are from the UK and our pups are like twins to them...an Airedale and a Welshie. Taffy even has a kissing booth at the top of their blog where you can leave a big lip print on his face!

3- Michele of New Beginnings lives in one of my favorite states in the U.S.A. - Montana. She is noted for her honest blog and it's hard not to fall in love with her adorable Lizzie. The rest of her clan are pretty cool too;<).

4- Shelley has 3 sites, but my favorite is Building A Log Cabin in Michigan. I've never been to MI, but really would like to go there now that she has introduced me to it. Her pictures are lovely and her cabin is too.She has so many visitors to her blog that I often forget to leave a comment after reading all the others!

5- More pooches: Scruffy, Stanley's & Lacie's Place introduces us to holyterriers 3: a Wire Haired Terrier, an Airedale Terrier and a Lakeland Terrier. They all hail from Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh to be exact. Their escapades delight me. My Hootie loves Lacie the Lakeland but she thinks he might be a bit young. he he.

6- Daisy of Dancing With Daisy breaks the old stereotype of Marian the Librarian! She is one cool chick from Ohio, who not only sends us songs through blogville but reads her (own!!) poetry as well. Check her out.

7- And last, but not least, Maggie & Mitch of Maggie and Mitch the Airedales. These Dales from Connecticut are so much fun to follow. They have amassed a ton of awards for their blog and rightly so. These pups even give out prizes! Yippee!

Now, as far as 10 honest things about myself: I am exhausted right now so will save that for later on today. See you all soon I hope. Blessings to all who visit here. love, Cassie
