Who's a lucky girl..........

memememe.... I rarely get nice surprises in the post, its usually junk mail or bills so when this arrived yesterday I knew just what it was.... A while back Karisma offered a little prize for writing a poem. I entered tongue in cheek because poetry is not one of my strong points. So imagine my surprise when I was chosen by her family as the runner up! I now know how to speak Aussie!!!!
Thank you Karisma, this is a lot of fun and will be added to my collection :)

Now the other thing I got this week is this.....
from my buddy Alison..... who is very good at sharing the love with me as I have been lucky enough to get five awards from her. This makes me feel very special and I do hope we get to meet up one day so that I can thank her in person! This has already gone into my gallery.

Now I'm passing it on to:

Karisma who made my day yesterday :)

Asha who has been a constant friend from the time I started blogging.

Tiggerlambgirl whom I met recently and whose company I hope to enjoy again :)

Marmite Toasty to make you smile :)

Daffy because I see a (younger) kindred spirit!

Misslionheart who has just completed the Flora Marathon.

John who groans at my jokes and says he is going to find me some good ones!!!

Beccy who also completed the Flora Marathon on Monday.

Sam this is really for Friday xx

New Awards for moi!

Last week two of my blogbuds bestowed awards on me.

Terri over at My4kids has given me this 'you make me smile award'...

and this is what 'she says "Chrisb makes me smile especially every Wednesday with her Whitty Wednesday posts she started awhile back. Sometimes the fun is in her comments though when Beccy and her and her other daughter Sam getting into it together!"
Isn't Terri just the kindest person and I'm lapping it up:)

I think I've said before that I always find it difficult to choose recipient as many of you make me smile and this means I love your blogs.

However I think the smile award needs to go to ten bloggers:

Merle over at Third Try is a lovely lady who can be guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face and I think she is Embee's favourite blogger.

John who can often be found in the Pub keeps me supplied with jokes and I need to keep on the right side of him I love his sense of humour.

Willowtree doesn't really want awards but how can I help it when his is one of the first blogs I read everyday because of it's crappy brilliant content ensures I start the day smiling; well that is until I do his trivia quiz and get frustrated because it often takes several attempts to submit my answers which clocks up my time. I must remember it's just for fun!!

Sally of Sally Writes is a long time blogging friend whose battles with a certain bank are so well written and hilarious. I also love hearing about her family.

Grannymar I started reading recently after she joined Fun Monday. You'll need to read some of her posts to see why I enjoy her blog.

Alix from DC Days has just put the biggest grin on my face because she was passing on a book and guess whose name was pulled out of the hat! So thank you Alix :) :)

Misslionheart who has...'A Place for Everything' and keeps me laughing as she has joined in with 'Witty Wednesdays'.

Beckie at Give it a try because I enjoy her posts and she grows beautiful lemons.

Karmyn from Dreaming What Ifs' is always so entertaining and I just think she is a fun person. Have you seen her profile photo!!

My last award goes to both my daughters. I know Terri already gave it to Beccy but I still wanted to give it to her and to Sam who writes a food blog very cleverly in my opinion.
*********************************************
Katy over at Her Indoors only gave out two of these awards and she says "chrisb gives us something new every day, amazing woman, with a great blog"
(blush) Well the amazing woman bit isn't true but I do try and scribble something albeit boring drivel everyday!


I'm giving this one to Mushu the Bichon Frise who resides with Joy as I love the posts written by this incredibly clever little dog. I'm sure Mushu will be sharing it with mom!
