I have only received a couple of "tagged" e-mails and I deleted them because I don't do chain letters via snail mail so why would I do it via e-mail. I love blogging and am happy to see a comment because feedback is always nice. As long as even a few people read my blog that's all I need. I have wanted to do a blog for so long and just glad I finally got up the courage and jumped into the Blog Pond!!Sandi Linn Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275591320281892830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-55113977495260884942008-08-14T23:03:00.000+10:002008-08-14T23:03:00.000+10:00I couldn't have said it better than either you or ...I couldn't have said it better than either you or Eloise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-1267039865964420762008-08-14T14:33:00.000+10:002008-08-14T14:33:00.000+10:00I haven't gotten any of these awards because I've ...I haven't gotten any of these awards because I've only been blogging since June 2nd, but I'm glad because I Don't want to have too much personal stuff on my sewing blog. I do, however, have a link to my personal family blog on my "About Me" page if anyone really wants to know about my personal life. I also agree with not forcing people to post a link on their blog just so they can enter a contest, or giveaway. my blog is mostly all about what I make, and helpful information that (hopefully) will keep people coming back and someday buy my stuff. I'd say it's OK to say you got the award and leave it at that!<BR/><BR/>MissyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-79039029297832068812008-08-13T06:33:00.000+10:002008-08-13T06:33:00.000+10:00If all these blog awards didn't come with the inst...If all these blog awards didn't come with the instructions of nominating 6 others then they might mean something....if you get one does the person dishing it out really want you to have it or are you just making up numbers? <BR/>I don't respond to them for those reasons but I do think it is a nice idea to occasionally writing a post dedicated to a blog that you really enjoy or perhaps a post about a blogger who has done you a good turn.<BR/><BR/>Lovely pussy cat by the way:)Gigibirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171021812450232039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-23307434023978865722008-08-13T01:57:00.000+10:002008-08-13T01:57:00.000+10:00I really agree with you .....I really agree with you .....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060734981147545844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-10322288352594033952008-08-12T21:28:00.000+10:002008-08-12T21:28:00.000+10:00Jodie I passed on the tree of happiness to you, ho...Jodie I passed on the tree of happiness to you, hope that was ok.Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744924677426095431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-73224071460768548412008-08-12T15:38:00.000+10:002008-08-12T15:38:00.000+10:00Well said.

Secondly, I think sometimes you worry too much. Thirdly, I am always amazed at the responses to this topic, then they all keep coming around. No-one really bothers me with them, as they probably realise that I just don't really take much notice of them. I will read etc, but to play, is just all "too hard" and like others, I would prefer to be sewing. I like finding out about people, but I don't feel compelled in any way to say or do anything in this forum that I don't want to.

I passed an award to someone and they sent a lovely email saying they appreciated it but they didn't participate. I didn't feel slighted in the least.
