Best Friend Bloggy Awards

So those who have read this blog for awhile will know two things about me (okay, a LOT more but two specific):
1.) I love to play with my photoshop
2.) I love to read McMommy's blog

McMommy said she was best bloggy friends with certain people she had met through the blogosphere and even made a casual reference to wishing to have an award to give out to her BBF.

So what did I do? Yup, I created some for her.

For one thing, you know I gotta challenge myself to see if it can be done. (I have a few more I'll show you later this week). For another, I have "met" some really cool people on this blog of mine and would like to recognize them. Now this is not the Best Blogs of the Universe game that I will be running soon. (Still working on that graphic.)) And for a third, I love McMommy's color scheme (insert Frank Egglehoffer's voice -ala Martin Short- from Father of the Bride "I ahm tinking ov da tame and cohlour of dee wedding")...the colors of her blog are fun to work with and will have to figure out how to change Ave's colors to something more like them.

So on to My Best Bloggy Friend award acceptance speech that McMommy asked for:

Oh, McMommy, thank you thank you for this glorious honor. I do feel that I received because I made it, and I should feel shame, guilt, or remorse. But I don't! I love that I have "met" you and your friends and love love love reading all about your shenanigans. I shall display this award proudly.

Now on to giving my Be Frie jewelry (and McMommy is right, the Be Frie is the best half and I know many of best friends dissolve over who would get the BE FRIE and who would get the ST NDS...I am a grown up now and can give the better half to my true blue bloggity friends):

Of course, Erin gets a BE FRIE cause she was one of my first blog friends who I really didn't know in real life. I'm obsessed with her blogroll and her blog in general. As I have spouted off her virtues here, here, and here to name a few. But she is a loyal commenter and is just plain cool.

Next is Leigh, who not only shares a name (her first, my middle-spelled the way it ought to be spelled thankuverimuch!) but also shares my love of Marlee Matlin, shaking her groove thang, taking awesome pictures, and loving all things southern!

While I can't really give Pea a bloggy best friend award cause she is one of my real life bestie's, I do want to take this time to say how glad I am that she blogs so I can keep updated on her and her family.

So there you go, I have bloggy best friends and we have the jewelry to prove it. But I'm sure I have room in my blogging heart for more! (PST! be my friend!! she cries in desperation)
