Another Award, yippee?

This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day.

Yippee!

Another Award!

My second one.

This one is bestowed on me by 'A Woman Of No Importance', who is really quite important for she knows many things about many things, and she certainly knows a lot of English and some French and two or three Dutch words, and she spices up all those words with very nice images, and her blog is very entertaining, and very worthwile reading! And if that isn't an incentive to pay her a visit, I don't know what will be.

I'm happy.

Does anyone know what it says next to the award? I'm sure it's something positive, but I haven't a clue. Talking about reading the fine print: this award entails that I have to honour fifteen (yes! 15!) other bloggers with the same award.

Fifteen! (Coincidentally that is also the name of Jamie Oliver's restaurants. See, I know something too!)

So, who will we burden, I mean honour, with this beautiful award?

I know:

Jinksy (she doesn't display it, and I don't have to worry about burdening her with having to honour 15 others with it, because she won't, but it will take a special place in her heart. I'm sure!) for being a very sweet person indeed and for her great ability to paint pictures with words!

Andrea & Sophie Andrea for her wise words and her beautiful photos of her lovely dog Sophie. Sophie, for being a very sweet and entertaining dog.

T T has the rare ability to almost always make me cry. She writes such lovely stories about her cats and dogs I'm often quite choked up, even if it's a happy story. And she is a lovely person!

Jewels Another lovely person (did you ever win that lottery?) with a great sense of humour and a lovely way of writing.

Nigel, Sola & Co Well, what can I say. They make me cry too, but they are tears of laughter. A hilarious blog about dogs and weird neighbours. Always good for a chuckle at least.

Mel The lovely Mel! I love the way she writes. She has a great sense of humour and a very warm and kind personality. She warms your heart!

rhymeswithplague This man and his alter ego Billy Ray Barnwell, if that is his alter ego that is, have two very entertaining blogs (so this award is for Billy Ray Barnwell too). Billy Ray has written a book that maybe isn't a book, I'm not quite sure and neither is he I believe, but he and rhymeswithplague always manage to confuse me even more than I usually am!

Barb Also known as Skittles. Makes me laugh. I admire the way she handles the difficult things in her life she has to cope with. She is probably the sanest insane person I know (sorry Barb, I hope honouring you with this award will 'cut me some slack')

Suldog I would like to honour Suldog with this award, but I'm scared of how he might react, so I won't. Just to remind you all: This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day. Suldog transmits cultural (he makes something that some people would call 'music'), ethical (he is the King of Burpyland and the inventor of Fartball), literary (he is a highly recommended writer) and personal values (see: ethical) in a way that only he can. And he has the bést job in the world! And he lóves awards! But I won't give him this one. If I had the courage I would, but I love life too much.

Oskar and Mimi, for being very creative, very funny and very modest (especially Oskar).

Jay Jay and I have something (or someone) in common. We just found that out and it almost made me wet myself from laughing. And it isn't the love for Johnny Depp! And I just love the way she writes and her sense of humour.

------------------

Well, that's the list of bloggers I'm going to honour with the award. Maybe it isn't quite 15, but what's in a number?

I will proudly display the award with the fine writing (does anyone have a magnifying glass?) in the sidebar of my blog.

  1. Well done you - and those are very worthy awardees, all!

    I can't blow up the image to work out what the words are - Some of the awards out and about are Italian, or all sorts of exotic places, so I can't be certain, sorry C x

  4. Me again. All I can make out of the writing is "Your Blog.." That leaves a lot open for interpretation. ;)

  7. Carolina, I have already picked up your kind award, and am indeed, cradling it within my heart. I shall soon have enough copies of this particular award to string them into a matching bead necklace to dangle on my chest. Not sure whether I've been awarded them all 'cos people think I fit the criteria. or whether they are hoping to weigh me down to the point of sinking in the quagmire that is Blogland! Many thanks, anyway! x

  8. Me again - if you go to my profile and send me an email from there, I have a little something I'd like to send you. No, not and award, as such, but a little something I think you might enjoy, nevertheless! And I don't seem to have your email in my address book - bummer. xxx

  11. Oooh, thank you! How sweet you are!

    Pop over to my place. I found out some stuff about this award, and I think you may get a smile from the title. ;)

  12. Ok... so I'm the newbie blogger and have never gotten an award... how do I post it like you did? Did you just do a print screen and copy it to a gadget? I know, I'm hopeless.

  13. I'm back to collect my award. :)

  14. Wow, how nice of you, thanks! This is a new one for us :) I'll try to come up with my list by the weekend, I'm in meetings for the next two days :(

    Hugs!

  15. My reputation has saved me!

    Actually, I already received this award a short time back. I thoroughly excoriated (now there's a word worth throwing around to get people to think you're smarter than you are) the person who gave it to me. So, you have shown great intelligence via your action of not awarding it to me again.

    I do thank you for the thought, though!

  16. Awwwwwww!!!! And I can't even read it with my bifocals! :D

    You are so precious to me...one might even say you are my Best Bloggin' Buddy! Perhaps I should design an award for that...

    Thank you from the bottom of my dark, whinging soul. I'm just tickled to death that you find my ramblings somewhat readable! I'm also thrilled that Jay spent untold hours locating the origin of this award so now we all know what it says!

  17. Hehe, Mel, stay cool! I'm so proud, you're my BBB too. Who found who? Do you remember? I don't, but I already said that I'm getting old.
    Anyway, I think this is a lovely award, even if almost everyone in blogland already has it (I mean: if everybody passes it on to 15 others.....)
    Big smile my dear,
    hugs xx
