An Award and A Giveaway Win !!

Talk about making you feel special !!

Karyn at French Charming received the

first ever BFF (Blogger Favorite Friend) Award

from Julie Marie at Idyllhours


Julie created this award for Karyn

who passed it along to 10 of her BFF's.

I am honored to be chosen as one of them.

Look at this pretty award!!

The rules of this little ditty are

that we must list our 10 favorite things about blogging.

This is easier than it sounds as

you do not want to duplicate an existing list.

Well, here goes:

1. The freedom to express yourself with all of your hidden
girliness or not....
your choice, that's what makes it so great
...it is your choice.

2. Makes you feel like you are chatting with your best friend
whenever you write a post and then receive a comment
as though you are in the same room.

3. Post all of the fabulous things that inspire you
and find out that they inspire others around the world as well.

4. Doing something for yourself that makes you happy.

5. Opening your email and finding a note from
a blogging buddy that makes you smile from ear to ear.

6. Realizing that this world is not so big after all and we are all connected.

7. Lovin all of the support and admiration that is heaped upon you
and you feel as though you can conquer the world....
who knew that the blogging community could have such a powerful influence on you.

8. Participating in all kinds of generous giveaways, swaps and just blog love

9. Evolving with this whole techie process of running your blog
and discovering all kinds of awesome ways to share.

10. I am happy....over the moon...to have discovered
such delightful, generous, kind, not to mention humourous
and supportive Blogging Favorite Friends.

Raise a glass and an arm pump to all of you !!
