More awards for me!

Today's Annoyance: Having limited time and space to thank everyone
Mantra of the Day: I am a bona fide award-winning blogger.

Celebrate good times, come on! I must offer a huge THANK YOU to Andi of Misadventures with Andi who was kind enough and cool enough to send me two awards.

First up is the "Love ya" Award for blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award! So, here are my eight:

1. Billionaire Woman
2. Two Jet Set Divas
3. Cupcakes and Cashmere
4. My Melange
5. You Look Fab
6. That's Hideous
7. Because I Could Never Keep Up With a Diary
8. Polichicks

Secondly, Andi awarded me with the Sisterhood Award. The rules are: (1) Put the logo on your blog or post. (2) Nominate up to 10 blogs which show great attitude and/or gratitude! (3) Be sure to link your nominees within your post. (4) Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog. (5) Remember to link to the person from whom you received your award.

I have chosen to pass the award along to:

1. Operation Nice - Melissa's motto is "Encouraging Individuals to be Proactively Nice". Just the idea of her blog makes me feel good.

2. Billionaire Woman - Nathalie is one of the most positive people in the blogosphere (if not the world!).

3. 1,000 Things to be Happy About - As someone who keeps a gratitude journal, I totally love Gretchen's new blog.

4. 10,000 Things to be Happy About - Heather has been blogging since 2006 and still finds things to be grateful for. In my humble opinion, that's pretty inspirational.

5. Girlfriendology - Debba has quickly built an amazing community all about inspiring, appreciating and celebrating friendships. Cool!

More awards for me!

A Kreativ Blogger Award...Pour moi?!

(sniff, sniff) OMG! I am nearly without words (key word: nearly). How cool is it that my new blogger buddy , Andi of Misadventures with Andi, passed along this neat- o award?! This is my first award and I'm totally psyched. Thanks, Andi!

Aside from posting this cool award pic on my blog, there are a couple of tasks that come with it. I have to list seven things that I love and then, I have to pass the award on to seven of my favorite blogs. So, here goes.

Seven things that I love:

1. Travel (big surprise, eh?)
2. Food (if it's cooked, I'm there)
3. Life on the French Riviera (there's nothing like it)
4. Shoes, shoes and more shoes (Imelda will envy ME some day soon)
5. Reading (Jeffrey Archer's a fave fiction author...partly because there's always lots of travel involved)
6. Opportunity (I'm a serial entrepreneur!)
7. Chill time with my friends (a nice dinner, some wine and great conversation...simply awesome)

Seven blogs that I think are deserving of the Kreativ Blogger Award:

1. Billionaire Woman (Nathalie's posts inspire)
2. You Look Fab (whether you're stylish or not, Angie can help)
3. The Frisky (just too funny!)
4. Plush Junkie (because Jewels and Jane are all about indulging)
5. The Jet Set Girls (kindred spirits Hope and Anna really know how to jet set)
6. Girlfriendology ('cause Debba's all about getting the girls together)
7. Queen of Relationships (real and hysterical)

Hooray! Time to celebrate!!
