...Well, actually I received several and although I feel honored to have received these awards, I find that it is very time-consuming to do all that is necessary and comes with the acceptance of the awards.
But, I'm going to have a go at it here. I must say again, that I do feel very grateful for each one and the love in which they were given. I have met so many kind and loving people here in blogland that are very inspirational and accepting of me, my art and the things I believe are important in life.
Thank you to all of you who come to visit here and for all the lovely comments and kind words that you have offered me. I truly appreciate each one.
This post on awards will be my last...on awards that is... and if I am to receive others, I will kindly accept them and post them on my sidebar but I will not be able to participate in the challenge of posting each one and all that goes with doing this. 
So, here goes...

I love my life

Nice awards, thanks for mentioning my blog. I don't know how to add a logo to my blog. I am not to swift that adding things because they all seem to have to be cut and pasted. ????
Hugs ~~~~~
Congratulations Leslie! That new photo is gorgeous...are you sunning your toes on a tropical island today?
hugs from chilly texas...!
Dear Leslie, as you know, I wrote to you personally when I got word of your gracious award gift - and your post hadn't made it up when trying to explain why I wasn't sure if you wanted to give it to me, since I knew I wouldn't follow the rules :) that I no longer participate in awards 'cause the work it takes to pass these things along...
well, then your post went up and you have said it all beautifully!! I SO appreciate being included, and thought of, thank you.
much gratitude and love,
Karin
I wish I was sunning myself on a tropical island today-nope I'm here in Virginia-in the cold, but I'll get to an island sometime this year.
The photo is from my last trip to Jamaica!

Congrats on the awards! Thanks for nominating me too:)) They are lovely to receive but as you say, can be time consuming and hard to do because you don't want to leave anyone out. Have a great week:))
Wow...Congratulations on all the awards Leslie...and Thank You so much for my one...Much Appreciated. I can understand how you feel about them...I have just before coming over here posted up another award and invited others to receive if they wished...I'll see how that goes. I find it too hard to choose...Love to you, Dzintra
Thank you so much Leslie. Coming from you, this award means a lot to me. I agree that it takes a lot of work to pass it on etc, but I decided that putting in the extra effort was well worth it if it makes someone else feel as worthwhile as it makes me feel. So I will do the necessary and pass it on.
thanks - I am honored - I will go now and proudly display my award :)
Thank you Leslie for such a sweet award and including me.
Whew!
You did have quite a job to do.
Congrats to have it finished.
And thanks again so much,
Leanne
Leslie, you are an award. How do I know this? By the list of 6 things you love. I'm glad it was limited to 6, I have a feeling that if it were not, you would still be writing about the things you love.
Hello Leslie, thank you very much for award! I'm very happy!!!
Hugs and kisses!
Cinzia
Hi Leslie,
Sorry I'm late. Congratulations on all the beautiful awards, and thank you for passing the Lovely Blog award on to me as well. How sweet of you. I have 3 awards to acknowledge and limited time, so will do it one day this week. I have a hard time choosing just a few people to pass it on to, as I love all the blogs I visit, so we will see.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Renie
Thank you for thinking of me Leslie and for the award. You are so sweet.
God Bless
April
