I Don’t Get Awards
No fooling. I don’t mind not getting them because in the blogger world most awards mean doing some kind of work, and I am lazy. Still, I say that I don’t mind not getting them, but secretly I want them. I want them all. So it was with great joy that I found that Just One More Book had given me an I Love Your Blog Award.
So here are the rules as I see them:
-
Add the logo of the award to your blog – Check
-
Add a link to the person who awarded it to you – Check and check
-
Nominate at least 7 other blogs – Ah. The rub. Well, with the knowledge that these people aren’t obligated or anything (particularly this close to our conference) check.
-
Add links to those blogs on your blog – Easy peasy. Check.
-
Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs – Um… Nah. I mean, isn’t it nicer if they find out randomly on their own? >shuffles feet<
Seven. Seven seven seven.
Okay, I will now do seven blogs that are the oddest mix that stay within kidlit parameters that I could think of:
See, that’s nice. A good random sampling of blogs I enjoy reading. Hey, have you ever followed this kind of thing backwards from the nominators? I got as far as No Title Necessary with its cool banner of blue teeth and then had to stop.

Great nominations! I thought I was getting over my blog habit, reducing the number I follow. But alas, a whole new set. Tiny is very funny and Drawn delightfully visual. Like them all.

Oh, don’t be tempted to trace it! I spent way too many hours beyond kidlit into horse-rearing, primitive arts, and card crafts blogs, only to find nothing but the end of the internet.
