awards and the carnival of cities
By Grace on Jan 16, 2008 in blog carnivals, blogging perks
Sorry this has taken a little bit long but I am not going to postpone it like the Golden Globes so…
Thanks to my friend Zen for giving me this award:
Zen and I had been friends for more than 15 years and have seen the best and worst of each other. I have spent one Christmas and New Year with her together when both of us were far away from home and with her company, that holiday became one of the holidays filled with the fondest memories I ever had.
Now, I am passing this award to Jennifer, Christine, Donetta, Lucelle, Charlotte, Shiera, Florence, Idel and Rose.

Next, thanks to Michelle of Bleeding Espresso.com (Congrats on the big move! Fantastico!). From her I got a kiss from Italy.
The Mwah award has this explanation behind it:
“So, the point (and I do have one) to this post is motivated by my desire to hand some of that love and kindness back around to those who have been so very, very, very good to me in this bloggy world. My hope is that those who receive this award will pass it on to those who have been very, very, very good to them as well. It’s a big kiss, of the chaste platonic kind, from me to you with the underlying ‘thanks’ message implied. I really do appreciate your support and your friendship and yes, your comments…. Mwah!”
Michelle has a great blog, you should check it out if you haven’t done so. She blogs from beautiful Italy and writes great, well thought-of posts that makes her readers stick. The random kindness I got from her? She linked to my first blog contest without me asking her to do so! Non porlo Italiano but, grazie mille, Michelle.
I am passing this to Kailani, Robin, Maribeth, Sandra, Melany, Sabine, Stacey and back to Michelle, of course.

Next week, I am hosting The Carnival of Cities. If you have some interesting goings-on in your city, please submit your post here.
The Carnival of Cities is always looking for bloggers to host the carnival on Mondays so if you are interested to navigate through the posts from all over the world and compile them in your blog, visit the carnival homepage for guidelines.
Last week’s edition was at Mexican Pop Shot.
*The first Carnival of Cities at Sandier Pastures was last September 2007.*
Lol, it took me a long time to figure out what “Mwah” meant! I just thought it was a funny sound, for Halloween! But now I know, its supposed to be a kiss sound. Who could guess?!
Thanks for the award, Muah!

Well I *could* send another Mwah! back your way but I have a feeling that then we’d just be kissing our lives away. Hah!
Anyway, so pleased to have met your acquaintance and thank you *so much* for your kind words. You truly make the blogosphere an even more special place

Now, my city is quite a boring little town - would you still accept a post?! What’s the deadline? It sounds like fun!
Congratulations on your awards, too! The “Mwah” award is so cute! You definitely deserve these!
