Roll out the red carpet!

I have been given a couple of awards lately, and I need to get the 2nd one up here.  I apologize because it's taking so long.  My boys just have other plans for me ;)  I'm working on getting the other bloggers to send those off to.  However, I've been wanting to create something I haven't seen yet.  An award for bloggers who help others.  A mentor award!  I have a bloggy-turned-Facebook friend who was my very first follower, and she's really helped me out with how to do things, and how this community works.  Let's face it, you guys are complicated (and kinda intimidating)! Learning how to get followers, how to make a button, how to play along in the Monday Made It linky, etc. all became so much easier because I was able to ask her how to do something or what something is.  Not to mention the TpT advice!  So, I decided to make an award with my limited graphics design abilities. ha.  I wanted it to be cute and wanted the "mentor" stick girl to have a heart with an apple leaf, but it didn't fit, so it's on her skirt.  This was born (if it's too big to go on the side of the blog, I will resize.  I was just stabbing in the dark at sizes haha:

 And this award goes to... 

Dana Lester!   She's over at  Fun in 1st Grade and she's just awesome.  Go check her out!  Thank you, Dana, for being such a great mentor... even if you didn't ask to be ;)

PS... I just got an email... she's having a 300 follower giveaway!  It was literally just a few weeks ago she had a 100 follower giveaway!  I'll link it up once I have the link.  I will be donating something to this giveaway.  Gotta decide what you all would like!  I promise, no stick figures :P
