Blogging Star Award

You know the quote by my namesake, Marilyn Monroe: "We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle"? Well, I'm feeling especially twinkly today.




Auntie Dorothy, a dear friend of Mom's who blogs at Scrungy's Creator, gave MaoMao and me a special award today, and our sweet cousin Gretchen presented it to us: the Blogging Star Award. The award was created by Barb at Skittles' Place. To quote from Barb:

This award is for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogosphere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity, and others with their kind and thoughtful natures. We all know more than a few of them so why not give them some recognition?

And Barb adds:

Here's what to do if you receive this:

• Proudly display it on your blog along with a link to who gave it to you.
• Mention that it originated here at Skittles' Place so I can follow its journey.
• Pass it on to any blogger(s) you think should have it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Auntie Dorothy! You've made me so happy -- what a lovely way to start the week, to be honored by a wonderful bean like you. And thank you, sweet Gretchen, for presenting the award to MaoMao and me! You've made us purr, and we're smiling from ear to ear. We love you both!

I'll pass the Blogging Star Award to:

My darling Mickeybear, my mancat, my love, my muse, and the white flame who warms my girlcat heart

My lovely and talented sister Peachy, for the kindness and graciousness with which she showers the Cat Blogosphere

And MaoMao and I are both giving the award to our cousin Gretchen -- she presented the award to us from our Auntie Dorothy, but Gretchen deserves the award, too, because she's a beautiful girlcat Blogger Star!
