Pauline at Cursuum Perfidio has given me a Rockin' Girl Blogger award - my second! Of course I'm absolutely thrilled, a girl can't have too many awards, 'cos you know what awards mean don't you - a new outfit for the ceremony! The great thing is I got to choose a different colour award too.
I now have to choose five people to pass it on to - whilst I love passing on awards it is the hardest thing to do because I'd love to give all the blogs I visit an award. Please don't be offended if I don't choose you, I will try to pass them on to people who haven't already got one.
Flowerpot Days is a recently discovered blog for me, but already a favourite. Flowerpot is, in her own words, "a writer/landlady who lives in Cornwall with a sailor/jazz musician who plays the trumpet to the delight of Buster, the cat, and the disgust of Mollie, the dog." and she used to live on a boat with her sailor. I bet that boat rocked!
Lettuce at Lettuce-Eating is a great writer. After seeing a fantastic Rebus post she had put together I just knew I had to have a go and Lettuce very kindly told me how to do it. Isn't that a 'rockin' thing to do.
Sally Writes is another recent discovery. I'm not sure Sally likes this sort of thing but I'm choosing her anyway! She is a mother to five children, has a husband, a cat, a dog, a theatre school business and a part time broadcasting job with a community radio station. As if that weren't enough Sally and her husband have just started the long process of becoming Foster Parents. You can't get much more 'rockin' than that can you?
Drunk Mummy says of herself "Delving into the Heart of Darkness that is raising small children, Drunk Mummy finds a few glimmers of light in the altered perspective that a couple of glasses of wine can bring..." Her writing is nothing short of brilliant as are her inevitable wine recommendations! She has some 'rockin' good times, mostly drinking wine!
Headless Chicken at Having A Word With Myself has only been blogging since May this year. I don't know how she finds the time, being a mother of 5 who's ages range from 17 to 8 months! After reading her powerful post Damage, an extremely frank post about her life, I came to the conclusion that she has true grit. A true rockin'girl blogger!
I hope you will all pop across and visit the five blogs I've mentioned (if you don't already) and agree as to why I've passed the award on to them.
The rules are if you receive the award you get to display the spiffy badge after you've done a post about it, and you have to pass it on to five other girlies who you think rock! The award originated with Roberta Ferguson.
You can choose any of the following colours........
