The Real Award




Millie, from over at the Laurel Hedge
has a blog that every time I go to visit, makes my heart beat faster.
Millie has a way to draw you in with whatever fun and interesting things she has to share with her readers.
In fact I hope that one day she will write a book and I will be in line to buy it.
Thank you for this Award and it means a lot to me, coming from you.

This is an Award for those who are brave enough to expose just enough to reach, touch and possibly help someone else to see something differently.
I am giving this award to only 3 blogs.
The only requirement is authenticity.
Use these awards wisely.
And do post on the Award telling why you wish to pass it on.
Please link the Award on your sidebar to this post.

* Then the meaning of this award will not get watered down or changed *
And believe me, when I see this award on a blog, I will stop, read and listen to the message and the messenger. Maybe others will too.

I would like to pass this on to the following three Ladies, because they have touched me with their special qualities they share. Go and pay them a visit and enjoy their lovely blogs too.

Rose ~ my-bella-rosa.blogspot.com
for her honesty, kindness, sweet caring nature and the joy she brings into my life.

Bella ~ bellasinclair.blogspot.com
Your friendship and support are a true gift to me. Your Artwork and fabulous way with words, never ceases to amaze me.

Marsha ~ sassyminidolls.blogspot.com
The stylish, talented and Queen of wonderful miniature treasures, always leaves a kind message for me.

And on the subject of Absolutely Fabulous .... just thought I would share a few photos from the show.
When we went into Harvey Nic's in London, couldn't help but think of the high jinks these two got up to!


Saffy, sweetie darling
Bubbles in Paris
Saffy is such a sweet girl
We have a long weekend here ~ Auckland Anniversary day!
So it has been great to have Monday off and to be able to sleep in and not really do very much.

It is February! ... does anyone else wonder where the month of January went?

Have a great February!
Hugs
Carolyn

  14. Congrats on the award and looks like a wonderful time! I can't think of one productive thing I did in January!!! I had big plans to clean out closets, but it didn't happen! Guess I'll try for Feb. and see how that goes. It's nice to have a day to do nothing. Hope you enjoyed it!

  21. Congratulations to you on your award and the ladies to whom you passed it! I can't believe how quickly January flew by either and February usually goes quickly since it's such a short month. Poor February, it was last in line when they were passing out days! Have a terrific week!

  32. Congrats on the award! You and your blog definitely deserve it! And Ab Fab has always been one of my favorite shows... I don't think I've ever seen a better cast and set of characters. Harvey Nics makes me think of them as well... as does Harrods, where I believe Edina did most of her grocery shopping ;-)

    Hope you're having a lovely week so far!
