What a graet meme as it's always nice to know a good blog friend even better. Besides I know its perfectly safe to invite you for a visit now since you know how to drive a standard car (more than 990% are in Norway) and I know you like Chardonnay ;-)
What lovely collection of Awards and you really deserves every one of them!
Thanks a million for “I Love You This Much"! I've collected it on my Awards page of course!
hi Renny..
I will keep that in mind if I ever travel over your way....I can't remember whether you drive on the same side of the road as us Aussies
....that could be a worry :)
You are one busy gal!!!! You are the reason for so much blog luv at my end. I can't thank you enough!
Hi Smurfette Kim!
.(\_/)
.(O.o)
(")_(") Looks like you tagged and bagged me again!
Bare with me as I fall into the white rabbit hole to find my bag of tricks to do this Meme!
Thanks Kim!
Great to read your responses!
Thank you so much for my award you are the best!
I'm sorry that your shoulder is still playing up though...no pogo sticking for you :)
Hello Kim,
Congratulations again for your 200th post. And for all those people who hold you in high regard by the awards you receive. It's the generous and genuine friendship that you give, and the immense talent that you unselfishly share, that is returned to you by those you've touched - in perhaps unequal, but sincere, gratitude.
I was happy with what I knew about you, but little details you revealed are added benefits.
Take care of the arm and your entire self too.(An arm wouldn't function the same way without the person directing it) :-)
Thanks for excluding me from your tag list. :-) --Durano, done!
you're welcome Kim...
have a great day :)
hello Smurfette Debbie...
sorry for bagging and tagging you again...you can blame Mimi..the queen of the dungeons...though I don't think she would lock up any dolphins or Smurfettes...they're too cute...
I'm glad you have the white rabbit to help...when he's finished could you ask him to drop by my way ...please ??
no pogo sticks for a while Diane...
I think Barbie Dolls might be more up my alley :)
thank you Durano...
I think that this was the month for awards and tags and maybe the dust may settle...so I can get on with my painting...
after I update my artists' list for this month ... :)
You Cannot Tag Everyone... LOL!
Yes I can...
now you will have to do it again Speedy....or I will tell Mimi :P
wow, kim, congrats on all your awards!
i wish i had time to do more of this awards and memes stuff, as it helps us get to know each other.
speaking of which, do you know where i can find out how to put my awards on a separate page? can i just start another blogger page and link it to my present blog?
no pogo sticking for you, lady, and no tennis or flinging pizza dough in the air! hope you are overall getting better. :)
Thanks for the tags Kim. This will be fun. Wow I have a lot of work to do. :)
