I have received two new awards! I can’t thank Rolando and Tatiana enough. I always feel a lot of pride when I am granted such blogging honors. These awards make me feel like I am building a community here at Into the Inkpot. I feel a bit more confident that I am providing a safe place for all of you to visit.
I want you all to feel comfortable and safe here. This blog is my home. Every day, I put out tea and danish for all of you to enjoy. I offer you a lounge where you can each express yourselves. I look out for “anonymous” posters that may harass you. You are all friends to me. We may never see one another in person, but I hear your comments and I read your blogs. Every time I visit one of your homes, I am reminded of your unique voices and your great ideas. I’m so proud to have such intelligent, creative, and talented friends. You all have a voice. Remember that. You all have a voice and it is important.
As for the awards, the first is from Rolando at R Playground. It is called the Power of Schmooze Award. It was created by Mike at Ordinary Folk and Danielle at Pink Reviews. The award is intended to “…recognize those people that [are] exceptionally adept at creating relationships with other bloggers by making an effort to be part of a conversation, as opposed to monologue.”
According to the rules, if you are granted the Power of Schmooze Award, you should offer the award to up to five other bloggers. Then, the winners you announce should post a message that explains who gave them their award. The post should also include up to five new bloggers that they are giving the award to.
I have made my decision. The following bloggers are to receive this award:
Zunnur, Mikkers, Suzie, and Brown.
The second award is the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award. It was given to me by Tatiana of La Última Información Digital. The award was created by Roberta at Blogging Made Devilishly Simple. The award is simply to be given to female bloggers that you think rock.
And, I think the following women rock out loud. The women receiving this award are:
Suzie because she rocks on through excruciating pain.
Brown because she rocks her way onto bookshelves.
Joanne because she rocks her true emotions.
Lisa C because she rocks an awesome family.
And…
Mikkers because she rocks sudoku and knitting.
I hope you all enjoy your awards. Each and every one of you deserves the honor!
I’d like to welcome Tatiana and Thira! It is great to have you both as friends!

*pant*

So *gasp* sorry for coming in late to accept the *pant* award and say Thank you and congratulations back!!
I'm still on deadlines, so my bloggin is haphazard at best, but I apologize for taking so long to respond.
I shall pass on the accolades--right after I catch my breath!
Rolando, the tea will be even better now. My father gave me a Japanese tea service today :)
Nihal, thank you so much! I am so pleased that you like Into the Inkpot. Thank you for always supporting me.
Zunnur, thank you! I will always try to leave a candle burning in your hut. That is what friends do :)
I’m glad you like your award! It was a pleasure to give it to you.
Jesse, don’t worry about not putting up my link. I didn’t get around to a lot of my friends links for a while. Silly me, I would always just use my favorites list. It would have been far easier had I simply put the links up in the first place.
Brown, do you need a drink? Maybe some sleep? I’m sorry you have so many deadlines right now. I wish you the best with everything you do!
Congrats for receiving the award!
