      Thank you so, SO much for the awards! The love and support I have received from the blogging community is really overwhelming! Receiving an award really boosts up the blogger's morale and vindicates the effort s/he has put on creating his/her blog. It is an appreciation and recognition by the followers/readers. I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for you!!! Therefore, I thank you ALL!!!
      More specifically though, I need to thank my fabulous bloggy friends  http://heymommychocolatemilk.blogspot.gr/

  4. Hi Vicki! Congrats for all the awards! Thanks for the two nominations! Did you get my reply message on my Picture Perfect Party Linky? at http://abooksandmore.blogspot.com/2012/10/picture-perfect-party-linky-12.html

    I was wondering if you finally managed.

    I see the URL for my blog is different for you with the .gr instead of the .com

    I had heard that Blogger was introducing the country changes, but I hadn't see it happening. I wonder how that affects us international bloggers. It's confusing. What URL should I type?

  5. Thank you all!

    Christina, about the 'Picture Perfect Party Linky - no, I haven't been able to link to it. I was able for the #11 though, so I don't know why not for #12! I don't see why you should change from .com to .gr since I have no problem getting to your page. Of course, I don't know that much about computers so.... Let's see how it will go for other linkys and we'll figure it out!
