You Make My Day

Hello!

Wow, a post that isn't for Illustration Friday! I just might be making progress on this blog!

Well, Linda from Sketched Out just totally made my day (not to mention my week, my month, my year) by giving me the 'You Make My Day Award'.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to pass the award back to the person who passed it on to you, but if we were I'd totally pass it back to Linda cos' her comments on my blog, her writing, her wonderful sense of humour and her illustrations on her blog make my day on a daily basis. Thank you so much Linda!

According to the rules, I now have to,
1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make me think and/or make my day.
2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3. Display the “You Make my Day Award” logo with a link to the post that I wrote. (Optional)
4. Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news.

Well, here goes.

I hereby pass on this wonderful award to the following 5 wonderful people/bloggers:

1. Colleen a.k.a. Ms. Froggie at The Frog Blog
Like Linda, she makes me laugh and I've truly come to look forward to her comments and feedback on my blog. Love her art, and she and Linda both inspire me to draw, experiment, post/share and well, just DO MORE . Love you guys!

2. Scott Cuzzo a.k.a Digital Scott at myillustrationblog, 3. Michael Dailey at Fuzhen3
They've been visitors to my humble blog almost since the beginning and never fail to take the time to simply say 'hi' or leave me an encouraging pat on the back by way of a comment. Guys, your comments always make my day :). (I would include Marc Favriau in this list, but it looks like he does'nt have a blog anymore. But in case you're reading this, Marc, your comments make my day too :))

4. Danielle McDonald at Red Dog & Jude
I've been hooked onto her art and blog ever since I first stumbled upon it and just love her energy and willingness to share so much of her life and work/experience with others.

5. Penelope Dullaghan at Penelope Illustration
What can I say? Illustration Friday changed my life (well, in a fairly undramatic yet incredibly significant way :)) and visits to her blog always make my day. And again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, she inspires to me to expand my horizons and do more all the time. Thank you Penelope!


So that's my list and though I wish I could've included more than 5 people on it, I'm glad I got the chance to do this.

Once again, thank you Linda!

Cheers,
Radha
