Ok.
Barbara and I have awards to bestow…
Barbara has her lippy on, and I’ve shaved my legs especially.
I’ve been waiting a little while to hold this ceremony, but it’s back-fired as now I have four, yes four to pass along, so pull up a chair, grab a glass of complimentary champagne, (it’s not free, it just says nice things about your hair,) and relax.
Ok, first up we have this, given to me by the wonderful Walks Far Woman at Kissing the Dogwood. Check out todays post from her. It’s really beautiful.
The Totally Fabulous Award by Ann and Christy .
And I’m passing it on to:
RC at Confessions of a Rotten Correspondent
Jen at A Snowball’s Chance in…
Mya at Missing You Already
Leendaluu at Wits End
Cami At Mommified Me
All these ladies are fun, intelligent, witty, supportive and fabulous. I lurrrve them, but not in a rude way.
******************************************
Moving quickly on and award number two is from Rotten Correspondent who is cleverer than a cart load of monkeys (as my grandad would say), and gorgeous and witty to boot.
Hee hee. I love this. And how gorgeous is the picture?
So which of you stimulate my intellect?? Hmmmm. You all do in some way. That’s why we read each other right??
OK, here we go…
Walks Far Woman at Kissing the Dogwood who inspires with her beautiful posts and lovely kind words.
Belle at Running With Books who is a fantastic writer and an amazingly warm and vibrant person.
David Mcmahon at authorblog whose questions challenge me each week to come up with a post I might never have thought of.
Pari at Cre8buzz, who writes beautiful poetry here, writes about life in Kuwait here, and her return to India here, as well as posting the most beautiful pictures here. And, as well as all that she is warm and funny and made Barbara look gorgeous. 
Kimberly at Temporary? Insanity who is smart, funny, open and an incredibly good writer. I’ve only been reading her blog for a little while but I love it.
******************************************
And award number three, from the gorgeous and sassy Miss Cami, is the excellent bodacious blogger award,
Fab isn’t it??
I have two of these now so I must be double bodacious, ho yes. Hee hee.
And I’m passing this on to:
One of my bezzie mates in blog land and in the real word, Ingenious Rose
Gorgeous Brillig at ‘Twas Brillig
Avery at Avery Gray
and Corey at Living and Loving Every Minute of it
******************************************
and finally the Community Blogger Award. It was created by Cellobella at SultanaBlog.
Isn’t it cute?
It’s very new
Cellobela says,
The Community Blog Award celebrates people who reach out and makes the blogger community a better one.
I feel so lucky to be part of some fab blogging communities, and with that in mind I’m passing this award on to,
RC at Confessions of a Rotten Correspondent
Jen at A Snowball’s Chance in…
Mya at Missing You Already
Cami At Mommified Me
Ingenious Rose
Corey at Living and Loving Every Minute of it
Brillig at ‘Twas Brillig
Akelamalu at Everything and Nothing (Better late than never dear Akela.)
and Dumdad at The other side of Paris
I know it’ll reach everybody I read/love/admire/adore as our communities all overlap so much.
Thans so much everybody, and hooray
