muchas gracias, ashley

Gigi Little said...

Congratulations! Totally deserved. (And I'm very curious about this raisinettes-in-the-popcorn thing.) Thanks to both of you for the similar blog nod. I'm honored - and will post, post haste. I love that this award is about versatility. Pocket Shrink definitely has one particular aim, but the posts and the subjects are so varied - one thing I love about your blog.

Congrats, you guys! I was glad to give you this award, and I love what Gigi said about the versatility of your posts. They're focused, so readers know what they'll find at your site, but they also cover a variety of topics.

Looking forward to checking out your list of links (and trying Raisinettes in hot popcorn).
