Encouragement and Awards.

I find inspiration from my fellow bloggers. I have some awards to acknowledge and share:

Because I love themes, I'm going to pass these awards onto my newest followers - thanks for joining!:
Paul & Karen from MuseItUp Publishing

I'm going to work on making an award too. I'd like to do one up for young bloggers. There's a lot of great blogs out there by kids!

Speaking of encouraging young bloggers, Paper Dolls posted a review of the book Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror by Chris Priestly, and the author left a comment on their blog. You'd have thought Elvis had stopped by, the way Miss 12 jumped up and down with excitement. She has since told all her friends and is singlehandedly working the sales for Priestly's books in our country town here in Australia. It's great to see marketing work on a personal level and not just at the masses :-). So, in return I suggest a visit to the author's blog: http://chrispriestley.blogspot.com/ (his new book cover design is awesome!).

  3. Congratulations on winning those awards! I loved all your recent posts--and how you manage to find time to keep three of them going is beyond me--countless energy, I suppose.

  7. Congratulations on the well-deserved awards! And it is fantastic when someone you admire comments on your blog. I wrote a song review on 'Angie Baby' (sang by Helen Reddy) and the song-writer, Alan O'Day, came by my blog to say he enjoyed my thoughts on his song, and he even said Angie would have enjoyed my review. I was on cloud 9! How wonderful and sweet of him. So I completely understand Paper Dolls happiness!
