Blog Award party
September 10, 2007 – 6:22 pmI have been remiss in my thank you’s. My mother would be so disappointed. She DID teach me better.
So…
Thank you to Pediascribe and Temporarily me for the I heart your blog award. And a long overdue thank you to Canape, What works for us, Twist & Skewer, and the Zen of Motherhood for the Nice Matters award. To Running with Books for the Inspirational Blogger Award, to Meanwhile… for the Creative Blogger Award, and Like a Star for Rockin’ Girl Blogger award.
I hope hope HOPE I didn’t miss anyone. If I did, I most humbly apologize.
NOW… all these awards got me thinking.
First, there’s a whole lot of really nice people out there reading my blog. But I already knew that.
The thing is, I’m supposed to pass along these awards to other deserving blogs.
BUT rule-breaker extraordinaire and Photoshop junky that I am, I decided to do things a little bit differently.
I decided to create my OWN awards. So… here they come… I hope you like ‘em…

I was wondering if you would be willing to loan the code for your awards? There are a number of blogs I visit that I would love to ‘honor’ but I don’t want to steal at the same time!
Best wishes
By Bananas on Sep 16, 2007 | Reply
Oh yeah, DO feel free to pass on the lovin’ goodness to other deserving recipients!
By mcewen on Sep 22, 2007 | Reply
As you may recall, you were generous enough to loan me your donkey award to share with my pals.
I was wondering whether you might bestow the same favour with reference to the big fat kiss too?
Or is that asking too much? [take, take, take....]
Cheers
