Blogging Friends Forever!

I don't know what to say.... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm feeling all kind of warm and pleased inside. I've been given a 'Blogging Friends award', from Marie of Dreaming of Wild Roses Can you see it in my side bar..... (puffs out chest in pleasure and maybe the teenisest little bit of pride.)

I've not been blogging for that long as you may already know and this is my very first award .... it's made me smile. Thank you Marie. I love the idea of online friends. It's surprising how much online friends get to mean to you and how concerned you can become when they haven't 'blogged' for a while. Are they O.K? Is something wrong .... ? Should you email.... just as you would for friends you meet in your other, everyday life.

What I have to do now is pass it on (they all work that way don't they?). The rules are fairly simple. You need to share this award with four dedicated followers of your blog and with one nominee who lives in a different part of the world.

Therefore, without further ado, I would like to share this award with Dottycookie, whose 'geeky' tendancies regularly make me smile. I love the idea of a Hadron Collider built from toilet roll inner tubes - brilliant!

I'd like to share it with Indigo Blue where there's always some lovely things being made and 'stuff' going on.

To Ragged Roses who spreads a little vintage calm and prettiness in the world and whose 'blogging' friendship I enjoy. And to Sew love to sew, who 'loves' to sew quilts and bags and whose 'chats' I enjoy.

My nominee from another part of the world is Tamara from 1/4 of an inch. Her blog is a new discovery for me (I've probably been lurking there for longer than she realises!) and I admire her quilting and 'crafty' works. Best wishes to you all, and long may we remain 'blogging friends'.

Congratulations on your award, it is very well deserved! Thanks for passing it on to me that is so kind, I never thought of myself as being able to spread any kind of calm (if only you could see the muddle of a room I am sitting in!), so thank you very much!

Hi. Thanks for all your comments on my blog over the last few months! I'm afriad your mails come up as "noreply" so I can never reply with a relevant answer. Yes they are chards in my allotment and i had some last night ... I prefer the normal coloured chard!! It was the sunshine which made them look so gloriously vibrant. Congratulations on your award! x

How lovely - your first award is always pretty special. I love your blog.

You are most welcome Julia. The award looks great!

I feel the same way about blogging friends. Just because we don't necessarily get to meet in person doesn't make these friendships any less important.

Wow, thanks very much, I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw my "name" on your list of nominees for the award. I'll have to have a think about who to pass it onto.

OOOOO! Thank you very much! Isn't it lovely and shiny! You have said lovely things here and I am going to have a look at the other blogs I agree about the blogging friends and worrying if you do not heard from them for a while.
Best wishes to you
