I’ll tell you a secret? I’m a dunce with the BLOG awards. I’m just lame at replying. I get a bit embarrassed, ya know? But DayDreamLily – a very longstanding craft buddy of mine – has given me one. And Jess has too.. and probably other people too. Whom I have shyly ignored. Sorry.
The thing is, I feel the need to point the finger (nicely toward a few people). Some people are really doing good, enduring, inspiring stuff out there. So I may need to do a few of these posts! I read lots of blogs – and I see lots of stuff going on in people’s lives – real stuff – and I think it’s important to notice the real stuff.
I’m making my own award. It’s called the ‘Mikes Everyday Superstar’ award. I don’t have the button or the html code. I just want to give it to a couple of people, though. Because I reckon blogging and crafting is about a few things.
- being dignified and not making spelling mistakes
- nice manners
- trying to live as creatively and consciously as possible
- making crafty plans
- rising to the challenge
- always trying to improve your life
- maintaining your sense of humour at all times
- not being a bitchy cow
- not being a wa*&ker
- being nice to other girls
I’m nominating a few Everyday Superstars –
Curlypops – for soldiering on with enviable dignity and niceness in tricky times
Steph – for constantly under-estimating her own abilities and being not only tenacious, but clever, cute and funny too
Big Cat – for showing everyone how brave it is to go out on a limb. Really good. Really brave. Good on you.
Good on you girls. I feel really lucky to be sharing in what goes on with you. And it’s nice of you to let us all in on some of it.
