Paige picked me as a Flashlight Follower which means my mug is at the top of her blog. So go over to Paige's blog, see my picture and then look at her gruesome funeral pictures. Did I say that Paige is a riot? Very funny girl!
Julie Musil might have given me an award, or maybe not. But if not she should, because I never miss her posts! She is
Ellie at Ella's Edge is another one who might have given me the versatile blogger award, or maybe not, but it doesn't matter because she's a really versatile blogger herself who writes on all kinds of things, and shows enticing pictures of the bees in her yard, and flowers, food-- whatever it's always fascinating!
Carol Kilgore gave me something. A cupcake, or a teddy bear, or maybe it was the vesatile blogger, I've been getting that one a lot lately. Never mind, go to Under the Tiki Hut, especially on Friday's because her ten for Friday is HILARIOUS. I never miss it.
Michelle Gregory at Beautiful Chaos gets my award for being super-nice, because she gave me an award plus the BEST compliment EVER. And how can you not want to follow a blog called beautiful chaos, with two giraffes at the top??!!
Mason Canyon the awesomest book reviewer ever, gave me the Literacy Award! You should all be following Mason (not her real name LOL) at Thoughts in Progress, because she is super-advocate for books and authors. Who gives away new books! And on that subject my 18 year old son is ashamed of me for using LOL. He said, "Mom, you say you are for literacy then you are LOLing all over your blog. That isn't literacy. Why don't you take the time to think of better ways to express yourself?" Haha, chastised by my son LOL.....ooops.
Okay, if I missed anyone please forgive me. I'm not posting awards on my sidebar anymore because they add to the loading time, but really I do love to get them!

Congrats to all! Hope you're having a great weekend, Karen!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Karen, to you and all the awardees. About Blogger, I asked the Geek, also a blogger, the same question. He said, "Hard to say." He then went on to talk about how upgrades from Blogger and so on create 'talking issues'. Have you run the manager cleaner? Go to start or to blank to left when you hit start and type in cleanmgr and run. Good luck!
ReplyDeletecongrats on all the awards, Karen :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, you crack me up! Thanks for the mention. You totally deserve ALL these awards.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd when I read about your son chastising you. Hilarious!
Congrats on all those awards, you certainly deserve every single one of them.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to checking out some new blogs from the links you posted.
LOL! You are too funny, my friend. :o) Thank you so much for passing an award on to me. I may or may not deserve it (like you of course do!) but it made my day. Thanks again!
