HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and an AWARD!

HAPPY SECOND ANNIVERSARY!!
September 14th 2006 - September 14th 2008

Hurray! Today is the 2nd birthday of my blog. It's a big day for me and I'm so proud of this little success…the fact that I could continue blogging (almost) every day!

Since starting this blog I have had over 20,000 visitors and I have made 700 posts. I'm so thankful to have met many great friends from all over the globe, you and you and you.....

To keep up a good friendship means a lot for me and that's why I want to say thank you to all of my loyal visitors. Without your supportive comments I would not have come this far.

And now I'm also happy to announce an unexpected Birthday gift I got from a beautiful blogger friend of mine: Michele, the Rocky Mountain Girl. She gave me this wonderful award and I am grateful. She said to me: "I really do love your blog". Thank you so much Michele for this gift and your kind compliment. I'm honored to receive this from you and do you know what, I love your blog too and love to see all your beautiful and refreshing photos, even though sometimes they make a little bit homesick for the mountains. I'm a mountain girl too, but from a place far away over the ocean.

And I had a hard time deciding whom I will pass this award to, because there are so many great blogs that I love. I'm sure all of you, my friends, deserve this award!
I’m going to pass this on to:

- http://titaniastarlight.blogspot.com/
Finding Life's Enchantments; Her Blog is so enchanting with every visit I do!

Anna, she is now a proud mother of a beautiful new born baby son. I know that she will have not the time just now, to spread this award to other bloggers. I just want to let here know, how much I admire her refreshing style of blogging and her beautiful photography and how much I appreciate our virtual friendship together. Thank you Anna - I know you are a busy Mom now - but maybe later one day, when little M. is grown more, you will have the time to come back to the computer screen again on a regular base. We are missing you!
