Congrats Randy, so proud of you.
Hey Randall, congratulations on being awarded. Also, thanks so much for again putting me on the top of a list. Hey come check out y blog, I have updated it with Infographics.
Many thanks. I just checked out your blog and well done with the Infographics.
By the way, I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. So congratulations to you, too. Now all you need to do is follow the guideline and create a post similar to mine.
Ok. I did not know about the follow up activity. Thanks, I shall do the needful.
No problem. I didn’t either until I returned to one of the blogs and saw their write-up.
What an honor! Thank you Randall, for the nomination! Seven things you might not know about me: I play guitar and used to sing semi-professionally, political and military biographies are my favorite genre of books to read, I was pretty adept at home improvement construction projects and now have a 2,250 sq ft house that has unfinished projects in every room (I never expected to so suddenly lose my ability to do physical labor), winter is my favorite season, my dogs are more precious than life to me, my greatest fear is failure, and I am notoriously guilty of over-analyzing, over-detailing, and over-doing everything!
Bless you again for this honor and thrill – you’ve made me so happy!
No problem at all:) Don’t forget to put a post on your blog. Congrats!
Congratulations.
Thanks for nominating me for the award. I started blogging exactly a month and half back, so I am not sure if I am versatile yet or not. By the way, crossed a milestone today, 100 followers:). Is that a requirement to be versatile?
Many thanks. And congrats on the number of followers!
Calls for a celebration with a cup of coffee:)
I’ll drink to that:) Just poured a cup.
