Winners of the Lovely Blog Award!

So, darlings, guess what? My blog has won the Lovely Blog Award!! Aren't you totally excited? Because I know I am :) My thanks go to Mel from Journey with Words for stopping by and nominating me in this category!

The award was created with the purpose of not only recognizing really fantastic, spectacular blogs, but also a way to check out other blogs in the community. The award comes with a set of rules to follow, which includes me choosing which blogs I think deserve this award.

For those of you who I have picked, please follow the instructions below to pass along these awards to other bloggers you think have great blogs. Pretty please? I'll love you forever… :)

The award received by Sparkles and Lightning is....






The rules are simple. They are so, so simple. They are unbelievably simple, so take a moment to read them and be amazed at their simplicity. ;) Participation is optional, but smiled upon greatly. :D
1. Link back to the person that bestowed the award upon you.
2. Follow the person that bestowed the award upon you.
3. Pass along to 15 Lovely Bloggers!



See? I told you they were simple.


Now, without further ado, my chosen winners for the Lovely Blog Award! They are in alphabetical order by blogger name, for two reasons: 1) I'm an OCD freak who likes things organized, and 2) this way you can't actually tell which blogs I like the best. Of course, there are ways to find out… ;)
