Sharing the Rose Award

That's right. It's time to give our award to a couple of wonderful bloggers. The award is a little different - not the design. We've changed the rules when you receive the award. Of course, don't feel obligated to do all of them. We want to make it easy and fun for everyone! 

What does the Rose Award mean? The award has to do with growing - like a flower. That's why we're giving our award to blogs who are growing  (not by followers or popularity). The ones who share what they've learned from life. It will be awesome to see what they've gained across the weeks, months, and years of writing. It's the main requirement of accepting the award. And the best part of all... handing it to others to share with.

Picking just a handful of them from many fantastic blogs is always difficult. But we're truly happy that it'll keep spreading from blog to blog. We'll get it out there! Here's who we've selected: MaryLu from Cross and Cutlass, Casey from Writing For Christ, Carman from Sequence of Continuous Delights, and Amanda from The Price of Trust.

Rules for accepting:

1. Share what you've learned from blogging, writing, life, or anything you'd like.
2. Add the award to a post or somewhere on your blog.
3. Hand the award to three or more bloggers/writers.
4. Leave an encouraging comment on a couple of blogs.

God bless!

Giving The Rose Award To Three Fellow Bloggers!

We're giving our blog award away to three bloggers! I designed this award using Photoshop and one of my photographs. As you can see, I incorporated a rose in the image. Fittingly, it's called the Rose Award. This award is presented to people who encourage new and growing bloggers. It is these people who bring a smile to my face and push me to keep going. *Thanks* ^_^

I present the Rose Award to:

Cathy Bryant: WordVessel
Diane Estrella: That's What I'm Here For...
Lynn Simpson: Place To Create

The rules for accepting this award:

1. Put the Rose Award either on a post or your blog.
2. Pass this award on to 3 or more bloggers.
3. Link to the winners of this award in a post.
4. Leave an encouraging comment on three or more blogs.
5. Add a link to the award from whom you were given it.

God bless!

Additions & Changes

The Christian Scroll has new additions! I don't know if you've noticed or not, but there's now a review policy page (located at the top). It's not the most exciting but it's just another step closer to completing my blog.

In case you're wondering what happened to the blog list page, it has been removed. Don't worry! There's still a list of author sites/blogs. I edited the links page and added a list of authors - they're in alphabetical order. It's not finished yet but hopefully it will be soon.

There's a new poll up! - Where Do You Buy Books? Days left to vote: 12.

I got to thinking... Wouldn't it be cool if The Christian Scroll had an award to give out to people? Well, I decided to design one to give out to bloggers (specifically bookworms). Here's what it looks like so far:

I like the look of it but I'm still not sure it's what I want. I would love to hear what you think! Do you like the name of the award?

I'm sure there will be many more changes in the future for this blog! So excited! =)

God bless!
