<p style="text-align:left;">Along with the accolades, this award comes with some rules.  Unfortunately it does NOT come with a gift bag.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>The rules for receiving this award are:<br />
1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.<br />
2. Link to the person you received your award from.<br />
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.<br />
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.<br />
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the people you’ve nominated.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I may have mentioned to my husband that I received an award and that I had to pass it along.  He said, &#8220;You should just keep giving it to yourself, 7 times!&#8221;  There was mockery in his tone and he is perfect for me.</p>
