Blog Friends
I've promised to post but I've been so busy lately that there are a few drafts still waiting to be published, this is one of them... I have been awarded twice by Monica in the meantime so I had to slightly adjust this post *hehe*. I feel flattered that I've received these awards: Monica keeps inspiring me with her zest for life and her different perspective on things. She left an impression on me when we first met, she made me feel extremely welcome to visit her blog.
Something most bloggers don't and I have to admit I used to be like that too because I had no idea about blog etiquette. I started this blog for me so I wasn't expecting any readers at all, let alone commenters. These days if someone refuses to respond after my third visit then I can't be bothered and won't visit anymore. It's about interaction, it works two ways. So Monica being the generous Monica got me hooked and I've been reading her blog ever since.
Thank you Monica for the awards! I want to be honest with you because that's what I'm like: I've given it some thought and I won't pass them on to anyone in particular. Not because I don't want to but because it could create expectations and/or obligations, two words that I'm trying to avoid in life. So I'll compromise and pass it on to anyone who reads this blog and feels that he/she deserves it, that way I won't cause a stir in blogosphere etiquette...
Another blog friend: Ismoyo has opened her online shop where she sells her crafted cute goodies. I ran into Ismoyo's blog while searching for a specific illustration; the first thing that caught my eye besides her gorgeous illustrations, was her collection[s] of 70's design. I was amazed to see familiar [mostly Dutch] things from the past: packaging, toys, magazines etc. and had instant flashbacks. As with most creative people, Ismoyo is multi-talented as well and proof can be found on her blog and her online shop. Go check it out!
OH, I almost forgot again, I met up with Stuart two weeks ago another blog friend, while he and his girlfriend were here for a short break. It was great to see you again Stu and to meet S.!!! I had a wonderful time and will email soon!
Hi there! You are so incredibly sweet, thank you. I love having you over to my blog... :) Wouldn't be the same without ya!
Oh my GOSH her shop is wonderful! I love it! Great... now I'm hooked. LOL
She's very talented! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see her site! Well done!
Love and Light dear friend,
Monica
LOL, Blogging Friends Forever! That's a new one for BFF (Best Friends Forever).
I never really have time to write in depth blogs... one day I'll write something!
Monica: I love reading your blog! :) And those silly pictures of cats crack me up each time you post one *LOL* Sorry about getting you hooked *hehe* Yes her things are wonderful, I ordered some magnets, I have a fridge magnet weakness ;) Still have to get my own fridge though [as in own place] since I'm not 'allowed' to put them on the current one, but theyr'e patiently waiting for me in a plastic bag in a box... along with all my other treasures, bless the day I can start unpacking... ;)
Dalton: oh Dalton what a bad excuse *hehe* Of course you have time... but you wouldn't even need to write you are one of the talented as well. So just show more of the beautiful drawings :) Btw the print you sent me is one of many items that will be framed and put on the wall one day, I will take a picture or two that day but most likely 200 :-O
Congrats on the award :)
I visited Isomoyo's online shop. I liked her "felted friends" :)
Wen: hi Wen, thank you so much :) I saw you got the same one a few days after me *hehe* that's why I mentioned 'second one' in my comment on your blog ;)
I will pass on the compliment to Ismoyo, she will love it! Thank you for visiting her shop.
