A Special Award to All My Bloggy Friends

"The Snowflake Award"

Good Morning and Blessings from me to you~

When I started my blog in October, I had no idea how many wonderful bloggy friends would come by to visit.
You have been so kind, and encouraged me in so many ways that I wanted to express my appreciation to each one of you.
I wanted something unique to share with you and so I created this award for this very special occasion~ my 99th post!
The "You're one-of-a-kind" Snowflake Award came about like this:
One time I was in a church group where we played a game and we were to give each other a gift that would speak of our feelings toward one another. My gift was from a long time friend.... It was a snowflake!
My friend went on to tell me why I was being given the snowflake, and I was so touched by the sentiment~
A snowflake is exquisite, and there is only one like it. It is one of God's most beautiful creations; just like you!
So, I thought a snowflake would symbolize how I feel about each one of you.
If you are one of my followers, or you are on my list of Favourite Bloggers, or if you have been by to visit and you really enjoyed my blog, please take this Snowflake Award and post it on your blog. All I ask is that you let me know you have received my gift.
Thank you for making me feel welcome and my blogging experience so enjoyable!
God bless each and every one of you!
Big Hugs~ Sandi

  2. Hi Millie,
    The way I do it is, I right click on the picture and then save it into "My Pictures" on my computer. From there, I can post it anywhere I want. I'm happy you like the award! Have a lovely day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  8. Hi Sandi,

    I dropped over from Charlotte's link to you today. When I saw you were from PE, Canada I just had to say "hello" and meet you. My husband and I visited PE Island in 2000. I thought it was one of the most beautiful places I'd ever seen. I felt like we were in a Fairy Land!

  9. Good morning and thank you for visiting me. I love snowflakes and I have a snow-globe that makes my heart happy everytime I turn it upside down. I love the first fall of snow and how it reminds me of the purity of Christ. HE wants to give that gift to us if we just come to the cross.

    Have a great day and Love, peace and blessings to you and your blog!
