Robin at PENSIEVE
When Karmyn asked me to step in as a guest blogger, I was a bit intimidated, knowing that she’d have some fantastic OTHER bloggers filling in while she’s doing California with her family. Not that it’s a competition or anything, but I know bluddies in her circle who are funnier, smarter, and better writers than me, but daggum it, she’s MY bluddy, too, so CERTAINLY I’m a natural to step in while she’s gone.
So…what to do…what to write? And, then, magically…I stumbled across this post My Splatter Painted Life: Awards and I knew I had it!
I’m awarding Karmyn “Blogging Princess”.
This is a creation by Lindsay at My Splattered Painted Life and it seemed PERFECT for Karmyn, especially when you consider where she is right now…according to her own Buttercup, the Land of REAL Princesses.
Karmyn has all the necessary qualifications for “Blogging Princess”—she’s kind and generous and thoughtful and interesting and for heaven’s sake, she’s an Oil Baroness. Not only has Karmyn encouraged me in blogging, she’s been an encourager in l.i.f.e….the REAL kind.
She’s just the kind of princess I’d like to meet—down to earth, friendly, humble and aware of the world around her. And, I’m pretty sure a tiara would look really nice on her now-graying hair ;). Maybe she’ll even get a picture of herself wearing one while she’s at Disneyland (hint, hint)…and she’ll post it for us to show the entire world, that yes, she really IS a Blogging Princess.
But, then again, I knew it all along
Yay, Pensieve! Way to suck up in a guest blogger post - give the host an award! LOL
Seriously, though - good choice. Karmyn totally deserves it.

No one deserves this more than Princess Karmyn. Great post, my trashy friend.

Oh, and Karmyn, I visited and read all the guests posts in one sitting. My cornpooter decided to give be a nervous breakdown. Love all the writers and what they shared. Excellent choices.

Greetings, dear friends of Princess Karmyn. Yes, she has been crowned in diamonds and has joined the ranks of Disney princesses, along with her daughter Princess Buttercup. They are frolicking about the Land of Mouse and don't miss you a bit...not one, teensy-weensy bit!

Hi Robin,
What fun it is to find you here at Karmyn's place. You are right Karmyn is the perfect candidate for Bloggin' Princess. Long live Princess Karmyn.

All hail, Princess Karmyn!
Looking forward to your return with the royal family (although your guest bloggers are doing a bang up job, they aren't you!)

Hello to all Karmyn's little friends in Bloggity-Land. Yes, Karmyn IS a lovely princess and fits in BEAUTIFULLY with the rest of "our kind". We might not let the real world have her back!

Congrats Karmyn! LOL Snow White! ! ! You sound more like the Evil Queen if you aren't going to let us have her back! :)
Way to go Robin!

Not another damn award!!

Salutations, to Bloggers, one and all! I've stepped in to let you know Princess Karmyn has had a FULL day of fun and frivolity. Executing the role of "princess" is tiring, you know. Please send her all manner of chocolate and sweet smelling things for her to enjoy on her arrival home.
Thank you, back to sleep now!

And Prince Charming, I've spoken to you about that language...Oh, the shame and public humiliation........!
Posted by: Sleeping Beauty | July 17, 2007 at 05:10 PM

I can't get over all the blogging awards out there. Congrats on the Princess award!

Hey guest bloggers, let's divide up her readers between us...it sounds like she won't be coming back. (And I've got dibs on the Vonnegut quote!)
