What is the Sunshine Blogger Award?

The Sunshine Blogger Award is a way for bloggers to get to know each other and also get other bloggers to link to their website. It's a chance for me to choose some of my friends who brighten my day with their blogs.
First of all, I'd like to thank Deanie Humphrys-Dunne for honoring me with this award. Deanie is a prolific children's author. Stop by her wonderful blog to learn more about her.
