Awards.... something to smile about

I've been a teensy bit slow in acknowledging these awards; mostly because I've been struggling, just a bit, to work out how to 'grab' the images. But, I'm beginning to get used to this Apple Mac creature ......

Pretty isn't it? I've put it in the side bar 'cos it's all bright and cheerful.

This 'Friends' Award has been passed onto me by; Kitty , by Marie and by Julia. So, thank you all. It's a nice feeling linking into a 'web' of friendship via the 'computery', 'webby', internet thingy'. I love the e-mails we swap from time to time and your blogs which are usually where these conversations begin. It worries me sometimes that I have 'friends', from blogs and forums whose friendship and conversations I value and yet I'd walk straight past them out in the wide world because I've little idea what they look like.

Then there is this award ....

.... which has also been given to me by Marie. The rules for passing this on are;

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these kind writers. When you pass the award along please include these guidelines. I am to choose eight friends to share this with.

This makes me smile a little - because I feel that acknolwedging the award is 'aggrandizing' isn't it?.... Never mind, it's a lovely sentiment. So, I'm to pass this on to eight other blogs and hopefully you'll be able to pass it on to other bloggy friends of yours and we'll all be linked together in a cosy web of our own. So, I'd like to pass this award to; Indigo Blue, Lace Hearts, IncyWincy, Two Hippos, At Home with MelMel, Maximum Rabbit Designs, Ragged Roses (Please don't curse me, Kim. I know you're trying to get loads done at the moment), and Cloudhopping. Wow! What a lot of tagging that was - enjoy your awards and speak again soon.

I'm glad to see that so many others agree with me that your blog is deserving of these awards.

You will have to post a photo of yourself ~ then I'll know who to look out for when I'm walking down that street!

Not one curse has passed my lips!!!!!! THANK YOU! That really is very kind of you - I'm chuffed (honestly!). Congrats too on your very well deserved awards. I didn't realise that you had a Mac, I love 'em, the problem is I spend far too much time playing with them ....

Thank you very much for the award. I have as yet to work out so much on our Mac and rely on my 12 year old to teach me so much. But I do love the look of said computer which I think is important in a William Morris kind of way (Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful).
