N33ma of Recipe Swap tagged me for a 7 Things MEME as well as handed out a myriad of awards. I wanted to pass out these awards to a few of the bloggers that I visit whenever I can. It is always a chore to choose only a few bloggers to receive these awards as I always feel like there are so many more of you who deserve them. The friendships created are what make blogging rewarding and these awards are just a small token of my appreciation. It is a busy time of year but you may choose to forward these awards on or cherish them for yourselves. I won't be offended either way. So here we go.........

Rosa
Fun! I liked reading your list!
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all the cool things you've done! Cliff diving and handgliding! What is polewalking? I love the short but meaningful saying: "Okay then ...". I usually say that really drawing out the word Ooookaaay. :-) Look at all your wonderful awards! Thank you for passing one onto me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the awards! Fun list too!
ReplyDeleteoh, wow, an award!

ReplyDeleteThanks Val, this is quite a mouthful. I take these award seriously and hope I will not disappoint on the kreativ side.
ReplyDeleteI have to say you more than deserve all this accolade and these awards! Also,thanks so much for passing this lovely award on to me. I'm not sure I deserve it, but I'll take it anyways. I love that picture of the cat on the steps! It reminds me of the south of France! I loved these seven things meme about you as well! I am also loving the look of that cheddar bread down below, especially if it is no knead. I am a hopeless bread baker!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the award...I feel so bad..I am so terribly behind in accepting and giving them out...
Hi Valli! :-)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I've missed so much during my blogging break (which lasted way too long!). Your blog is just as inviting and fun to visit as ever. I enjoyed reading your lists...and now I think some chocolate covered almonds are definitely calling my name! :-) By the way, I'm also craving your Cheddar Cheese English Muffin Loaves...remember when I made them way back when?! I'm so glad to be back in touch with blogging friends.
COngrats on all of those wonderful awards. Thanks so much for passing one onto me!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Thanks a lot for the award Valli ,but let me tel you something , you are a truly inspiration...and you well deserved this and the others awards
ReplyDeleteThanks again
Val, not only do you get a whole slew of awards but you work really hard to pass them on. I bet you even read all of these bloggers regularly. I would like to say that you are just so organised because all you do is blog, but HANGLIDING!! POLEWALKING (that's not like pole-dancing is it? ALthough I hear that keeps you superfit!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Valli, I will try and keep up the Kreativity (that really means a lot to me) and pass it along as soon as I can. Bless you and all who sit at your table. xxx and have a bellini for me. Inge
P.S. Love the new view

ReplyDeleteOh, how I love Spanakopita. There's a Greek couple who makes it at our farmers' market and I'm addicted. And thank you so much for the Kreativ Blogger award. Can you see me smiling right now? :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awards!
ReplyDeleteThese MEMEs are always so revealing :)
That was really an interesting MEME - the thing I love about these kinds of meme's is how much alike we find out we all are.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the award...so nice.
Can I come along when you rent that villa in Italy?!
