Friends AwardNow I'm not very good at dealing with awards, I find them a bit worrying, confusing and time consuming. My apologies to anyone who has sent me one and I haven't done anything with it.
I've met so many lovely people it seems ungracious to limit who you send it to. I keep forgetting what to do and it takes me so long to check out the instructions, who to give it to, whether they've had it sent to them before and the more people you have to pass it on to the longer it takes. Then I worry in case people may think it's like a chain letter (Catholic guilt), so eventually I give up.
Anyway despite these worries and misgivings I'm posting The Friends Award.
I received The Friend Award from two lovely people in the last two days, Brenda and Gramma Ann and this time I'm acting on it quickly, no procrastinating!
I'm not limiting the number of people I'm including here and if you've already received this award, then you don't need to do anything. These are some of the lovely people I've "met" that I'm passing it to:
Bennie and Patsy
Brenda at Rinkly Rimes
Gill at That British Woman
Granny Annie
Hippo Chick at Pam's Ponderings
Jeanette at Jen's Chronicles
Kori at Between a Whisper and a Roar
Kris at Quilted SImple
Maggie Ann at Knitting Kat
Marjorie at Cappuccino Thyme
Marla at Life's a Chair of Bowlies
Merle at Merle's Third Try
Patty and Abe at Old Lady Lincoln
Poetikat
Sarah at Brit Gal in the USA
Strawberry Jam Anne
I'd better stop now, it's getting out of hand!
If you haven't visited these blogs, pop in and see them. They'll be pleased to meet you.
The following explanatory paragraph is to be included when you post about this award, it's very nice!
"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.
Deliver this award to eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Thank you Winifred - what a lovely award, I feel honoured to be in such company. Like you I feel little awkward about receiving awards and worry a little about who I should pass them to. However I gladly accept this and thank you again.

ReplyDeleteWell Winifred, I am afraid you have been tagged at my place for a game. Come visit me when you have time, and play if you'd like. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Winifred! I thought I'd commented on this, but I think it was Gramma Ann who gave me one too. They are nice to receive, but you are so right about them being work.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving you another one though, so I apologize in advance. Don't worry about when you post it, just know that I love your blog!
