Winners and friends

Did I ever mention how lucky I feel to have you on board here at the Bush Babe blog?

However you got here – through other bloggers, through friends, through googling something about Australia or The Bush, or through knowing me In Real Life – I appreciate having your presence here (whether chatting in my comments section or lurking – I know you are there!).

And I adore having all those wonderful avatars of yours in my sidebar.  Makes me feel like there is a fabulous party going on at all times!

So I am celebrating today by drawing the winner of this little giveaway (and I shall treasure the comments left there for a VERY long time)…

*drum roll *

You each get an 8″ x 12″ metallic print (of your choice) from this blog.  Contact me via email with mailing details and your choice of image.

I am also giving away a bonus print to TARA (blogger from South Africa) – for her fantastic support in the tweeting department! Thanks so much to everyone for entering.

I love my sidebar posse.  I love seeing when new faces/avatars pop up there – like someone just walked in my virtual door for a cuppa. I love seeing faces I have had there for over three years.  Familiar, kind, happy, quirky, wonderful faces. Love, love, love.

I hate two things about losing GFC.

1. Those subscribed could well be suddenly UNsubscribed to my blog.  (That’s almost 200 of you).  And that would be tragic (for me, and hopefully it’d make you a little sad too!).

2. My sidebar party will vanish. *sob*

I cannot see any tool that replaces GFC properly.  Google is encouraging its users to send subscribers through to Google Plus pages.  I am in Google + but rarely use it – I don’t just have the time!  And I cannot see it as a direct replacement – just ANOTHER thing to expect you all subscribe to… and without the avatar-party benefit – unfair!

If anyone knows of another blog tool that shares avatars like this (besides Facebook, which I am ALL OVER) please let me know. In the meantime, can I gently encourage you to subscribe here.

Thanks (in hope).
