1st Award for 2009 :)

I've only been blogging consistently for approximately six months, although it could be longer as time so quickly flies past, firstly on blogger then on another site and back again to blogger (where I will stay!!) but during that time I have made some exceptional friends who I have been able to chat to, via our blogs, daily.

This evening I popped in to see Sandi at Rose Chintz Inspirations and discovered that 1. it is her birthday today (Happy Birthday) and 2. she has very kindly honoured me with an award. To accept this award, I must mention who I received the award from and link back to her/him. Then I am to write the following in my post:

"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are extremely charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award."

'Thank you' Sandi for thinking of me and 'Thank you' for kind and encouraging comments which you leave on my site.

I nominate the following bloggers for this award:-

1. Elaine Dale

2. Buskitten

3. Cheryl

4. Valerie

5. Ali

6. Janet

7. Riet

8. Charli and Me
