In Which I Pick A Winner And Say "Thank You"

Bringing an end to the saga and e-mail exchanges (loooong story--you know who you are!) about my Edens Fantasys giveaway, I have chosen a winner. Using a handy-dandy random number integer I came up with #25. #25 turned out to be Nadine, who wasn't interested (maybe she's tired from caring for her adorable little ones). So I spun again and . . . #4. #4--my real-life friend and super-blogging buddy, renowned around the blogosphere for love and promotion of hawt green beans--Cheri of Blog This Mom!. Congratulations to you (and Tom or Kate or Bossy or your iPhone lover or your laptop lover--you have the most complicated love life!).

And now for some awards . . .

I opened up my awards folder (I save them by name of blog and date awarded) and I am so embarrassed to realize that there are awards from back in April that I still haven't recognized. Sorry and mea culpa.

This lovely award was given to me back in April (again, so sorry) by A Mom Two Boys.

I'm passing this on to Teepee's Weblog, Fond of Snape and The Smitten Image, whose photography thrills me daily.

I got this smashing and stylish award from the fabulous Fannie at This Isn't What I Ordered

This one goes to the ever-stylish and fabulous bloggers: Blognut, The Girl Next Door, Suzy at Hollywood: Where Hot Comes To Die, Kristin, Southern Belle and Baby Favorite (who has a hot new 'do) .

This award--useful in these tough economic times was given to me by Memarie Lane, my soulmate in practicality.

This one has to go to my posse--all the Bitches--you know who you are.

Clucks From The Henhouse loves my blog and I love hers.

I also love Smalltown Mom, iMom, Gladys, Professor J., Kcinnova, Shelley and Jen Rants and Raves and Jen on the Edge.

Don Mills Diva (truly a blogging Diva and the mother of one cute kid) passed this on one to me.

For all they do to make us smarter and more thoughtful I bestow the Blog of Distinction award upon CC, Green Girl, MS-Teacher, PhD in Yogurty and Minnesota Matron.

 

This one is from Julie at MomTaxi--we definitely have the teenager/taxi thing in common.

Who could be sweeter than Debbie and Suz and Mandy and Manic Mommy and MJ and Kellan and Angela?

And last, but certainly not least and definitely most recent is from Blognut, whose rambling is not mindless, no matter what she says.

For my friends from the beginning of blogging and the ones whose friendship has moved beyond the blogging world, JCK, Sheila, Kalynne, Mary Alice and Angie (who I will always believe in.

Boy, when you wait and do them all at once it makes a girl a little verklempt! Thanks everyone. Go forth and spread award love into the blogosphere!
