Dear readers, I am participating in Jenny Matlock’s Alphabe-Thursday where ‘L’
is for both The Lola & Superior Scribbler Awards!
is for both The Lola & Superior Scribbler Awards!
Firstly, I’ve got a little confession to make! I received most of the awards hanging in the sidebar over a year ago and, er, forgot about them - until now! The reason? The site’s had a spot of spring cleaning! And not just a coat or two of cooler, paler colours, polishing the pics and rearranging the text furniture. But hanging up winter’s woolly words and dusting down all those wonderful awards hanging over there, the most recent the Superior Scribbler Award from the wonderful Bhavesh Chhatbar which I’m passing on today together with the most famous and prestigious of all, my very own Lola Award for Services to Blogging!
But now, back to our awards today! Now I’m aware some of you don’t "do" awards and I’ve tried to bear that in mind with the nominations below. However, mistakes do happen dear readers and if, inadvertently, your blog’s been included ~ or excluded for that very reason ~ please blame it all on that useless P.A. of mine, Nora...!
Now, my Lola Award is for recently discovered blogs and, like all similar blog awards, is useful because it introduces wonderful new blogs to a wider readership. This means, regrettably, I have to EXCLUDE those esteemed fellow bloggers I’ve known now for a little while (most of whom have already been garlanded with well-deserved awards). In fact, all those listed on the sidebar deserve award after award but I’m restricted to just 20. (Stop gushing and get on with it. Your P.A., Nora.) So, ripping open the shiny, sealed envelope on the blogosphere podium, I momentarily pause (for drumroll and swig of whisky from artfully concealed hipflask) before reading out the nominations for both the Lola and Superior Scribbler Awards (in no particular order):
Finally, thank you all my dear readers and also new followers who visited or left comments this past week! Have a great Alphabe-Thursday! And do check out other great Alphabe-Thursday posts! btw I’ll be MIA for a few days cos’ my P.A.’s away on a brief business trip again! But she’s promised to type up and post my latest YOUR LOLA LIFELINE! next THURSDAY, 15 APRIL! Make a note in your diary! Don’t miss this historic, earth-shattering event!!
XOXO LOLA:)
PS Be good while I'm away!!

Congrats and thank you for passing it on to me. I stopped doing awards on my blog because it became overwhelming but I appreciate the thought so much!!!
I'm honored, Lola! Not sure why I have received this prestigious award but honored, just the same. At 5 o'clok (or neaby then) I will dig out my swig of whisky and say 'Cheers' to you, too. Life is too short not to celebrate!
Well, thank you so much for visiting my blog, and for honoring me with the lovely Lola award. Bhavesh Chhatbar gave me a Scribbler award so I am slowly collecting some honors for my blog which is encouraging. I read so many wonderful blogs, I feel mine is never up to par!

Awesome! Thank you so very much for honoring my blog with a very special LOLA Award!! I am truly grateful and you now have a new follower!! XOXO from Chloe and LadyBug, the NY BichonsFrises
What a delightful post! ...and I can't wait to check pot all of those blogs 'cause the few that I'm familiar with are soooooo award deserving! I hopped over from Alphabe-Thursday and am so happy that I did! I am the new kid in class, and learning my way around. Please accept my invitation to drop in at my place one day this week when you get a moment. I have become a follower and hope you'll do the same. until later...
PS fun blog post! :)
Thanks so much for thinking of me for this prestigious award. :) I love the way you write and feel special to be included in such an amazing group. Sorry it took a while for me to get back to you. While most of you are getting in to the swing of your Thursday morning, I am going to bed (it's Thursday night on our side of the world). I truly am I new blogger and don't really know anything about how awards work. So you'll have to fill me in. I'm thinking I get to display it on my sidebar and link back to you. Is that right. Hope you have a great day (or night) as it may be! Stepheny
Thank you for the blog love!
And thanks for making me smile on my fun journey through Alphabe-Thursday's letter "L"!
Gone until April 15th????
Whaaaaaatttttt?
Happy Thursday!

Oh my gosh...Somebody besides my kids read my blog! And you liked it! I appreciate the compliment, which came on a day when I really needed some kind of pat on the back. Thank you so much!
