The Paw

I was visiting Drowsey Monkey when I saw that she had an idea that I’ve been toying with for a while. Because she’s had 5000+ visitors she made a “Blogging Buddy Badge”.

At first I thought I wanted to create some kind of award, but soon realised that what I really wanted to do was simply to thank my regular readers/commenters and present them with some sort of “bling”. (I’m a girl who does like shinny, sparkly things!)

So, for those courageous, opinionated lurkers who, throughout the last twenty months became blog friends (also known as “blends”), I would like to bestow upon you “The Paw”, my way of Thanking You for Being a ‘Blend’.


“The Paw” is intended to be a sign that says: this blogger is a good ‘blend’ of Stinkypaw and is not afraid to admit it. He/She is not easily offended and has a good sense of humour and most importantly doesn’t take him/herself too seriously. - Stinkypaw =^..^=

In order to end the year 2007 in style, I present you, the first recipients of “The Paw”:

  • Ananke
  • Attila The Mom
  • Christina The Wench
  • Don’t Call Me Ma’am (even if she’s been MIA lately)
  • Hasarder
  • Jason67 (also MIA, from here, anyway)
  • Kim
  • Lizgwiz
  • Marius
  • Meow (also MIA)
  • Monkey
  • Mousse (not really a blogger, but sure is a reader!)
  • Mr. Social
  • Paisley
  • Preppygirl (also MIA)
  • Princess Slea
  • Purple Pigeon
  • Robert
  • Simplypink (a.k.a. Shopper)
  • SkippyMom
  • Trueself
  • Wreckless

  • I will let each recipient know that they were awarded "The Paw", and can only hope that they will accept this little token of appreciation. Recipients, please place this banner on your site with pride and feel free to link it back to this post.

    I hope to do this regularly (at least once a year) . My way of thanking you for being a friend.

    Don't be shy to comment, come around regularly and let's get to know each other. I'm always amaze to realise the friendships that are being created here, how from simply sharring life experiences and comments we got to know each other, care about each other and hopefully, if the opportunity presents itself, maybe one day get to "really" meet each other. One can only hope...

    Hello Funny Lady! I just arrived home from a [short] New Year vacation and found a wonderful treat from you! Thank you so much!

    You may not realize that - no matter how good/bad a week I have - your blog makes me laugh out loud and for that I am so grateful and my MIL thinks I am brilliant for finding you and sending her such great jokes!

    If I can figure out how to get the cool, fancy image on my site I will definitely post it.

    Thanks again! Happy New Year [and I would send a petrol card if I knew where....giggle!]

    stinkypaw said...
