Thank you, Beth and Masha. I am honored.
In receiving this award, I must choose to follow the rules, which are:
1) Link back to the person who gave me the award.
2) Share seven random things about myself
3) Award 5 to 15 new or recently discovered bloggers and notify them.
#1 - I've linked above (and here) to PlantPostings and A Rose is A Rose... blogs. They are both great blogs and I know you will enjoy reading them, if you haven't found them already.
#2 : about me
1) My favorite movie is "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". It always puts me in a good mood.
2) My closet is always in a horrible state of disarray.
3) I rarely spend money on anything, except the garden.
4) I can not resist ice cream if it is in the freezer. I will eat it until it is all gone.
5) Plants in the ground outside are pampered; plants inside are barely kept alive; plants in outdoor containers are always forgotten. I'm going to try to work on that this year. But I say that every year.
6) Midnight, the cat, exercises with me. I exercise to DVDs; she stretches. When I start the DVD, she always comes running.
7) I'm growing my hair out, but don't know what length I want it to be.
I've been thinking about this award. Since no one seems to know how it got started (I checked wikipedia), I was wondering about its merits. I feel like this was probably started for a couple of reasons. First, so other bloggers could find out a little bit more about the new bloggers. And second, and most importantly for the new bloggers, to have new bloggers reach out to other bloggers, in a sense of community. And help expedite their success. I hope the bloggers I award this to will accept this award and appreciate its merits.
And now, without further ado,
#3: The envelope please.
In no particular order, I am awarding the following 10 blogs The Stylish Blogger Award.

Handlebar Gardens
Sunray Gardening

Congratulations.
I loved learning a bit about you, HolleyGarden. You are my kindred soul, my closet is a mess too, and I love ice cream, and my money mostly goes to the garden too (our water bills alone are sky high). I will go check out the blogs you listed...
ReplyDeleteI too liked learning about you. I am growing my hair longer too. But summer will come and off it will go. And like you, on number 3, I don't spend much money either. I hate shopping for girl things, like clothing, shoes and no jewelry, ever. But get me in an Apple store and watch out. Lucky for me Apple computers last forever.
ReplyDeleteHa! I felt the same way when I received the award. You certainly deserve it! I can "smell" the lovely roses in your garden. Can't wait to see and read your next post!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for awarding me the 'Stylish Blogger Award', very much appreciated. I like your write up about the award and your things about you (I can relate); I too was wondering where the award originated. All the best, Kelli.
ReplyDeleteMasha - glad we have so much in common! I've enjoyed learning about you, too.
ReplyDeleteGWGT - Apple stores! I try not to learn too much tech stuff. It all seems to change so frequently I can't keep up. But I agree - Macs are the best.
Beth - I can hardly wait for the roses to start blooming so I can write about them! Thanks again for the recognition.
Kelli - Your beautiful garden deserves to be seen. Have you fixed the feed on blotanical yet? It's an easy fix - even I did it! About the award, yes, it's just a mystery, but a fun one.
