Favourite things begins… Bloggers
I am planning a new section here called Favourite Things…
I know it’s not a totally unique concept, but it will give me a great chance to do something a bit more succinct, with a nice photo or two.
…
I’m going to start off with reminding everyone that the Bloggies Award nominations are now open – I have just spent 15 minutes frantically typing in a few of my favourite bloggers to the horizontal form (which works surprisingly well – once you get the hang of it!). Main issue: not enough space to nominate everyone!
…
Among those I have noted (and there were many more) were:
.
(my slightly neurotic but totally talented & beautiful sister who was born to write)
.
(the wonderful Deb, wielding the written word to take us all on the rollercoaster of her life. I just love her and never miss a post!)
.
(who inspired so many of us to have fun & be positive… and feel shockingly lazy with the number of posts she maintains with four homeschooled children!)
.
(shocking, heart-breaking, funny, amazing)
(Leslie’s amazing scrapbooking takes my breath away… and makes me want to travel again!)
…
And the fabulous Bossy
(dry wit and Great Danes – what a combination!)
…
As I said, there were many more (actually, quite a few from the other favourite thing mentioned below) …I encourage you all to get on over here (Bloggies site) and nominate your favourite reads.
…
I so wish I had more time to check out more blogs, but that would mean I would have no life to blog about. And my family would go hungry. And the yards would be overgrown and my zucchinis would start climbing in the windows.
You know how it is!
…
I leave you all today with a photo of another of my favourite things:
Of course one of my NOT SO FAVOURITE things is that I can’t show all 39 of you… anyone know how to fix that yet??
…
Hope your 2009 is going great guns so far…
Hugs

Thank you, dear sister.
The blog favourites thing has annoyed many at the help site also – I wonder if anyone from Blogger actually reads there?

Gosh, BB. Thanks. I feel a little bit like Sally Fields accepting an Oscar.

Jeanie, Deb and Leslie – you are most welcome ladies. Deb, you are quite silly. Sally Field indeed. Leslie – thanks, you didn’t need to nominate me! (It wasn’t a hint to return the favour, but I DO appreciate it nonetheless!).
I am constantly blown away by the talent out there in the blogosphere… and count myself quite blessed to have readers from so many corners of the globe check in to see what we have been up to. Never fails to tickle me!

I voted you as best Australian blog – your site makes me smile and giggle at the same time! Had to vote for my daughter as best new blog, though – Loessismore –
Nancy in Atlanta
Redneck Mommy
AW, doll, thanks.
You just totally made my night.
