Good on ya Danica. Your group initiative ‘Blog Dylan’ was one of the year’s highlights.
Though I don’t do awards, I’m sincerely gratified to appear twice in your list (though Lonely Keyboards is pretty lonely at present!).
Keep writing!

‘Blog Dylan’ was so much fun! Thanks again for helping make it happen.
Both of your blogs are deserving of this award, and I’m afraid I must be behind in my reading of VC and Lonely Keyboards. Soon to be remedied!
Thanks, I need to do that!

I’ve been thinking of you, hope your small break was a good one. It’s funny…I took my Awards Free sign down to accept this award from Robert. What a lovely surprise to get passed to me. I will take the challenge. Help me remember how to copy the badge again.
Hugs.

Thanks very much, M! My small break has been good but busy… which I guess is good? I’m thrilled that you’re accepting awards and not at all surprised you’ve received multiple nominations. Copy the badges by right-clicking each and then saving the file. To include in your post, add/upload the file to your media files.
Hugs. 🙂

I like that perspective on how to react when someone you like posts something you don’t like.
THough it doesn’t quite apply here, as I like both this blogger & this post!
Congrats on the award & thanks for the tip of the hat, enjoy the weekend!

Hi Danica
I can’t remember if I congratulated you on the well deserved award. Do you use Windows? I’m MAC and I can’t get the instructions to work for copying the badge. I’ll keep digging, it’s been done before.
Have a relaxing Sunday.

Thank you, M! I’m not sure how the copy or download process would be different on a mac. I’ll see what I can find out and we’ll figure it out.
