Is this a test, do you think?
Please read this to the end, if you don’t want to see a sad beetle doodle.
I received an award last week and decided not to pass it on. I had passed a few on previously and felt it might be overkill to do it again. A certain person, who shall NOT be nameless **IT WAS IVANHOE** politely pointed out my error. “Oh no, we don’t mind. Keep it all to yourself” was what she actually said. I was cut to the quick, I tell you. Mortified!
I just received this ‘Butterfly Award’, and who do you think passed it on to me? Ivanhoe! Now I don’t think I’d be wrong in thinking that she may be testing me, to see if I take note of what my readers say.
Please notice that I do take your comments on board, even when mortified.
The rules: Link back to the person that gave it to you **IVANHOE** and pass it on (a link is good) to ten, I said TEN other blogs.
Here goes…….
I..VAN….HOOOOE! – she now has to find another ten blogs. I am now feeling un-mortified. Yes, I made that word up ;O)
Kathy @ The Junk Drawer
JD @ I Do Things
Jay @ The Depp Effect
Maureen @ I’d Rather Be Blogging
Natural @ Thinking Out Loud
Drowsey @ Drowsey Pics
Sandee @ Comedy Plus
Ruth @ sinch-ro-ni-zing
The Teach @ Work of the Poet
You may thank me and leave the award where it is, or you can put it on your blog. Whichever you want to do is fine by me, but please thank me or I may become mortified again!

I’ll say thank you and leave the award where it is. It looks much nicer here.
It’s been a pleasure reading your blog and looking at your photos.
Oh wait, on second thought, I do have a place for my awards. I keep them in one of my flickr albums.
natural takes award and runs away… O

Oh, another award for me!!! Thanks, Babs!
I want to know how ten people can all be the coolest blog you know! LOL!
Let me see… to take or not to take. Not sure I have ten people to pass this onto right now, but I’ll have a think and see what I can come up with. Might not be ten, but I’ll do my best!
Oh yeah, and I’m going to check out the other winners too! That’s one of the good things about awards!

Please, no sad Beetle doodles! You’ve got some great blogs there that I follow as well. Congratulations, my dear. Your award mantle must be sagging!

Natural: Flick is as good a place as any to keep your awards!
Jay: Sometimes finding new people to give awards to is difficult! But once the error of my ways was pointed out me what could I do?
Kathy: No sad Beetle doodle, I promise

Congrats
Lots of times I don’t pass them on either especially when you have to pick 10, that’s a lot!
Thanks

Looks like your site is very popular, lol. I am here to give you an award myself, lol. You may come get it from my site, and feel free to combine it with any award you see fit. They should be easier to pass on that way, lol. I do love your blog and I enjoy reading it very much.

As I’m not a native english speaker, I learned a new word today – mortify

Thank you for thinking of me, Babs! I appreciate the award.

Haha, it’s hard to pass on awards all the time
I also just pass them on if I receive them for the first time. I have received one maybe 10 times… ten times times makes…. huh, that’s a lot of blogs which I’d need to nominate 
However congrats Babs! Awards are so wonderful to get, aren’t they?

Aw! You know we’re all gonna thank you! No one wants a mortified Babs! Congrats on yet ANOTHER award, and, like Natural, I think I’ll grab mine and run. I think I’ll also steal her idea of putting my awards on a Flickr page.
Let’s see . . . who else can I copy?

Crystal Tackett: Welcome, and thank you so much. I’ll be over to collect it :O)

Oh Babs, this was so funny. Now I’m mortified

No testing, I just really like reading your blog and think it’s a pretty cool one ;o)

Is: Welcome, and I’m glad I helped add another word to your English vocabulary
Ruth: You are welcome. I love the creativity shown on your blog.

Ana: You should know that, with the amount of awards you receive regularly ;O) Very well deserved, I might add! I do enjoy receiving them.
JD: Ha ha! Grab it and run is good. Nothing is ever 100% original anyway! New ideas evolve from old. You copy girl!

Ivanhoe: :O) I had a laugh at your original comment too! That’s funny, I think your blog is pretty warm!

Boy, I’m feeling pretty left out, and dejected – just as I was getting over my insecurity issues :{
If you get “morified again”, wouldn’t that be “re -mortified” :-}

OregonArtGuy: ‘Re-mortified’ may be right. It goes with ‘un-mortified’ quite well

Aw, Babs, THANK YOU SO MUCH! What a nice award. I must admit I am terrible with awards. I find it so difficult to choose recipients without the fear of hurting someone else’s feelings…
But I shall add this to my Bling Page.
Thank you. You may End Mortification now.
