Community Blogger Award

October 24th, 2007 Comments(5)

Thankyou kin for passing this award on to me.

This award was created by Cellobella who states:

The Community Blog Award celebrates people who reach out and makes the blogger community a better one.
For those of you who have a blog, you’ll understand how wonderful it is to interact with readers and build up friendships with them. I feel so thankful for those I have had the opportunity to know through my blog and other blogs.

I would like to pass this award on to Rhonda Jean. I really love the way that even though she is busy and gets lots of comments, she takes the time to respond to those comments. The whole discussion within the comments section of her blog really contributes to the atmosphere of community created by her blog. :-)

You Make Me Smile! :-)

You all make me smile! So I’m not sure why I’m the one receiving a “you make me smile” award. :-) Nevertheless, here it is:

Thanks very much Kelley for passing this award on to me. You girl, make me smile (and laugh) a LOT!!!! :-) Sorry it’ s taken me a while to post this!

I was thinking today about the whole world of blogging and the amazing way in which friendships form through sharing on blogs. It made me wonder what prompted me to blog in the first place. I had to go and read my own first post in order to find out! LOL.

Here’s a couple of excerpts from my first post :

“I never thought I’d be one to begin a blog - and yet here I am. (It might take me a while to get used to this whole process so please bear with me.) I have been reading other people’s blogs and finding it so wonderful to share in a small part of their journey in life…

…Laughter is such a gift - I think it does us all good to be able to laugh at ourselves. No one can know everything after all…

…I think we could all do with a little more “light” in our day at times. A smile from a stranger. An encouraging word. A hug from someone we love. Life can weigh us down some days can’t it? How easy is it to get so busy in the day to day tasks of life, that we forget to live it and enjoy it as we go? Barely holding it together ourselves, let along having the time or energy to reach out and improve someone else’s day.

Each day I want to ask myself. What can I do today to shine a little “light” into someone else’s life? “

I really want to give this award to everyone who has ever commented on my blog. You all make me smile. Thank you so much for taking the time to do so. So if you’ve ever left a comment and would like to post this award on your own blog - please feel free to do so. I know this is kind of “cheating” but at the same time, my readers are truly those who make me smile.

I will mention one specific blog as she’s fairly new to blogging and I’d love to direct some traffic her way. The way she views the world and expresses it makes me smile.

So, if you have time. Please go and visit Lisa and leave her a little comment. I think she’s due back from her trip soon and I’m sure she’d be very excited to come home to lots of wonderful comments. After all, we bloggers live for our comments, don’t we? :-)

I hope you all have a reason to smile today!

Nice Matters Award

Thank you to both Kez and Kin for nominating me for this award. :-) What a beautiful award - I REALLY like pink!!!!

The award was started by Bella-Enchanted

“This award will be awarded to those that are just nice people, good blog friends and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration! Those that care about others that are there to lend support or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world!”

There are so many nice bloggers out there - it’s naturally hard to select just a few to pass this award on to. I’ll try and pick a few that haven’t already received it yet. :-)

Firstly, Penny who’s adorable little boys never cease to bring a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing a little part of your world with us Penny. I find this blog a great place to go when I’m feeling a little down and need a boost. :-) She has such a great sense of humour too!

Also, Christine who’s beautiful smile from her photo always makes me feel good when I visit her blog.

And, Rhonda Gay . Okay, Rhonda Gay has actually just received this award from someone else but I really wanted to mention her anyway as she has been so wonderful lately helping me get started with my knitting needles. Thanks Rhonda! I love all her animal tales too.

Things continue to be draining in this house. DD has come down with a urinary tract infection so we’ve been up and down through the night for a few nights now and the poor little mite needs moral support from mum every time she goes to the toilet (which is often due to the infection). :-( So we now have 2 kids on antibiotics.

I’m feeling exhausted and sick of visiting the doctor and the chemist (3 days in a row this week). Hopefully we’re past the worst of it now. I just need to take some time to rest and recover (didn’t get up today until after midday!!!).

Power of Schmooze Award

The lovely Ali at Our Patch has nominated me for this award. Thanks Ali. :-)

This award was created by Danielle at Pink Reviews with the help of Mike at Things by Mike.
The award was created to
“recognize those people that were exceptionally adept at creating relationships with other bloggers by making an effort to be part of a conversation, as opposed to a monologue”.

I wish to pass this award onto the following bloggers:

Kez at http://kezs-blog.blogspot.com/

Kin at http://kinshome.blogspot.com/

I’ll also take this opportunity to thank all of you who read my blog and a special thank you to those who comment - it’s so wonderful to have that 2-way feedback and to build such valuable friendships. :-)
