Nominated ~ Thank You!

I would like to say a great big thank you to all who nominated me for Duchess Of The Blog.  It is a nice feeling to know that your journal is appreciated and that people like it enough to vote for it.

I have no idea when the final voting is, no doubt it will be announced in due time.  You are going to have a hard time deciding.  The other nominees in the same category all have excellent journals and I know that I am going to find it extremely difficult to chose one over another.

However, I am happy to be nominated. That is an achievement in itself when you consider just how many journals there are.

Not much news on the home front. Becky had a really enjoyable Birthday.  Dean took her out to dinner last night and she had a lovely time. He gave her a beautiful gold locket with a picture of Nathan and Daniel inside and today he is taking her out to buy some new clothes.  I was not able to look after the boys because I felt a bit under the weather but there will be lots more opportunities.  The fish are doing really well in the new tank, so well that we already have babies!

Once again a big thank you to all who voted for me. I was up most of the night. I just could not sleep (I can assure you it was nothing to do with the awards). Like I said, I was feeling under the weather  - so this signature is very appropriate.  Also because I am often on the computer until the early hours.  It was made by the lovely Jessica.  I have put a link to her journal under Favourite Sites so that you can all see her beautiful work.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

There are now 131 on the Journals/Friendship map.  I am astounded. For anyone who still wants to add themselves, please click on the little logo at the bottom of All About Me.

I'm excited for you...It was fun to go down that list and see you and Sandra on there.  It's kind of like when they announce the contenders for the Academy Awards and you've actually seen some of the movies that are nominated.

Congratulation on your nomination Jeannette.  You certainly are among the finest journals.  I do not know where to vote, but if you can let me know I will vote.   I am not on the computer very much, but will make time.   Very nice sentiment of Dean giving Becky the locket.  The trees and leaves are wonderful.  Hope you are feeling better.     mark
