I'm so excited!! I WON - and I never win anything!
I came home from church, and like the good wife and mother that I am (eyes modestly cast down to the floor as applause and fanfare is graciously accepted),I did not rush to my computer to see who had won, but I made lunch, then I made a mad dash for the computer. Lo and behold if I didn't have congratulatory tidings from the venerable (and I thought deceased) popular soap actress, who also never won anything, Susan Lucci.
What I won, is a blog makeover from Edie, at Rich Gifts (sorry, one day I'll ask somebody how to link to other blogs). Please click on the Big Red Button on my sidebar that says Blog Makeover Contest and go visit Edie.
I kind of hate to write this sentence, because you'll be sure to wonder how I ended up winning, but be sure to stop by Chatty Kelly, who hosted the contest for Edie, and read all the wonderful poems that were submitted. There are some seriously talented bloggers out there. And remember, that same talent and energy is reflected daily in each of their blogs.
My entry:
"My blog is needy and I am greedy
It’s true and I’ll tell you why
I want the fluff .... YES ! all the stuff
That you said could be mine
A better header with awesome art
A blogskin that looks just ‘so’
Tabs and buttons and sidebar graphics
And pretty columns in a row
A place of my own, to share my thoughts
Where friends can come and visit
And share what God’s doing in their lives, too
Now, that’s not too much to ask, is it?"
THANK YOU SO MUCH EDIE AND ALL THE JUDGES!!
Woo HOO! Congratulations aad I am happy to meet you! It will be fun to watch your makeover.
ReplyDeleteIf this is my second comment, forgive me. My first seems to have disappeared. I have a sister who forbids me to call her Barb. May I really call you Barb? Perfect.
PS I love cats, books, movies with happy endings and praise & worship. (Not in that order!) I think we are friends now.
Congrats!!! And I'm so impressed with your poem!!! It's GREAT!! I'll be checking back to see the new design!!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog on Joyfully Living Blogroll!! I'm so excited to find other Christian bloggers to share with!!
Off to read more of your blog...

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI'm coming by from Chatty Kelly's blog. Congratulations! Here's the confetti: *#@!***(($#@ Did you catch any?
It probably would have been better if I had thrown out bird seed. Live and learn?! :)
Nice to meet you, looking forward to the blog makeover. This is better than watching Ty any day!

Congrats on winning the blog makeover. I took the news that I didn't win well : ) I went to Classervices in 2005, I think that was the year. She Speaks is different although they are both for speakers and writers and now bloggers! I am looking forward to your new blogskin. Will ck back later.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I have confetti all over me! Looks like you're having quite a celebration. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're excited about the makeover. I am too. This is why I love doing things like this, because it brings so much joy to others. Let me know when you have some ideas together. I'll even teach you how to link. LOL.
Chatty Kelly and I helped ADHD Jo learn to link and she became a linking fool. You can read it in several of her posts. Look on her sidebar too, you will see an award for linking.
Talk to ya soon!
BARB! How awesome is that!?! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see what it's going to look like...i wish I was that clever...
ReplyDeleteAwesome Barb! Well deserved! Did you get my message on MySpace?
Love ya,
Steph
Hey Barb,
ReplyDeleteIt was in Knoxville, TN. Where was yours held? I enjoyed CLASS. Florence was an incredible speaker. I have been thinking about listening to her cds again. Maybe you are confirming this to me. I am going to post this week the final part of my mirrored series this week. (I got discouraged in my blog for awhile.) God reminded me that He asked me to do it. Hopefully, I will get better at writing. I will feature the mirror from God's view. Stop by if you can. I think the picture will speak to you.
Wow!! congratulations! I am happy for you:D
