Dear Esme, I have been remiss in not letting you know that I have nominated you for a Blogger Recognition Award. I apologize, and here is the link https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.com/2016/10/10/an-award-a-tag-a-soup/.
You are not in any way obligated to accept, and I fully understand that not everyone has the time and inclination to participate in these self-and-others-promoting exercises. Therefore, I will truly appreciate if you accept the nomination, as I sincerely think you deserve it, but I won’t get offended if you don’t. Nominating each one of you is my way of giving credit to some exceptional bloggers and perhaps attracting attention to your work.
All my love,
Dolly
Thank you Dolly my friend. WOW I am blown away. 😊❤️ I will work on this as soon as possible.
It is my pleasure and privilege! You are performing a great service for the community!
Thanks Dolly – I am not accepting more posts on that program. The original idea I had was to have one per week, now I ended up with a scheduled post every day to mid December.
I will release a new ‘exchange’ hopefully mid November, once I have all my ducks in a row on this one. Still working on it. Thanks for all your participation.
Wow! It really spread like wildfire, and it is truly great! If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks dear – just keep visiting and check for the new “exchange” by mid November – new format and something totally different. I have some ideas, but do not wish to let the cat out of the bag as yet…..
Cats are curious, you know! Now that you’ve got me intrigued, I can’t wait!
Sorry dear, you will have to hang in there till mid November.
I am hanging, I am hanging, like my cat on the window curtains…
Hihi. 😺
