Awards and Things



This is the first time I have ever posted an award on my blog. (I have had other ones - boast , boast - but was too dim to know how to post them).

Jennifer of Art Words Life both gave me this one.
THANK YOU!.....and told me how you post it! (Drag onto desktop and then post same as you do a photo.)
It's incredibly hard to single out people to give awards to since I go to lots of blogs for all sorts of reasons and enjoy all of them, as one does one's friends - for their quirks and individual views of the world.



One of the fun things about the blogosphere is that it allows us to have friends round the world.
So I'm handing this award on to:
M.Kate in Malaya whose blog La Vie Est Belle takes us to very exotic places indeed.
Louise of This is My Patch in England who know everything about gardening.
Tracey of Hey Harriet in Australia who thinks as I do on many things and organizes the very excellent "Shadow Shot Sundays".
Maryam in Morocco who has about a zillion awards already but deserves them since she has a super blog.
Britt-Arnhild in Norway who is a loyal blogging friend and uplifting spirit.
Maria in Austria of Let the Good Times Roll who walks through the hills outside Vienna whose lovely dog recovered from a viper bite.
And finally, Marja of Dutch Corner in New Zealand who writes lovely inspiring stories.
Now you have to chose 7 of your blogging chums to hand it on to and tell them.



This is a picture I took in the spring in the downstairs cafe at the Neue Galerie. I think it has a dab of the Hoppers about it.

  1. A big Congrats on your award! That's funny that you didn't know how to post awards on your blog..hehe...you're so cute!

    Gosh, thanks so much for passing that award along to me. It means a great deal to me Elizabeth. I'm going to celebrate by singing happy silly songs into my hairbrush (any excuse ;) & hopefully you'll join in. It doesn't even matter if we get the lyrics wrong. We'll just make up our own words. It's more fun that way! Ok, you ready? Here we go...a one, & a two, & a one two three

    ...are you singing? I don't hear you? You have to sing louder! I'm on the other side of the world remember! :D xo

  11. Absolutely. You have these rather non-descript characters in the background and one wonders what they're talking about. Old friends? New friends? The art upstairs?
