How Lucky am I!

Got the picture at last! (without the animation am determined to work this out)

I have received the Heartfelt award from Desert Rose and when I read what the award means it really made my day (which is saying a lot because I’m stuck in bed feeling miserable on the verge of the flu).
This is what the award means..

Do you reach for a cup of cocoa or tea when you’re relaxing, seeking comfort, sharing a plate of cookies with family & friends?You know that feeling you get when you drink a yummy cup of cocoa, tea ~ or a hot toddy?That is what the Heartfelt award is all about, feeling warm inside : ].I wanted to create something to express that toasty feeling.

The Rules:
1) Put the logo on your blog/post.
2) Nominate up to 9 blogs which make you feel comfy or warm inside.
3) Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4) Let them know that they have been nominated by commenting on their blog.
5) Remember to link to the person from whom you received your award.

So I’m sending this award off to the following five only (I’m sick remember). These are Blogs I visit regularly, that never fail to make me smile, sometimes make me laugh out loud – and let’s face it everyone needs more laughter.

Becca @ Just One More Page (the queen of fuzzy)
Marcia @ The Printed Page
MizB @ Should Be Reading
Gautami @ Everything Distils into Reading
Caite @ ALovely Shore Breeze

An Award - Yippee!

The Guru said I'd love blogging and she was right to a point becasue I LOVE blogging (I can be so subtle when I want to be). I've said it before but how nice is it to meet other book-lovers, reading fanatics, list-makers, opinion holders! and then you get an award for sharing in this great community!

Thanks Wanda, this award means a lot to me and thanks to all the wonderful people who visit WeRead and inspire me with your comments and your own awesome blogs.

Viva la blogging!

I'm ridiculously excited about this

An award, for me, for talking! Take that! all you teachers who said I'd never get anywhere if I didn't shut up as they were sending me out of the room!

To this day I'm convinced that my lack of aptitude for maths is due to the ratio (see nice maths word there!) of time I spent in the classroom to the time I spent in the hallway, about 20 (in)/80(out). I could tell you every detail of the lockers in that hallway (which is also where I did a lot of reading for English). One year I had a teacher who didn't even let me into the room at all. We had to line up outside our room, I could never master the two, straight, QUIET, lines thing so she just used to send me out of the room before I even got into the room (shortcutting I called it).

So I am extra specially pleased and honoured to get this award. A bit gushy I know but it's my first so I think I can have a bit of emotional latitude for this one, I'll be acting my age again soon I promise.

Thanks very much to Becca of Just One More Page (you might know her by her secret identity - The Guru).
