This was quite a weekend for me! I found out that I am a recipient of the 1st ever Gargie Award! This award was created by Bruce the Gargoyle over at The Bookshelf Gargoyle http://thebookshelfgargoyle.wordpress.com/.
Bruce says that I deserve this award for my services to canine – fleshling literacy development. Whew! That’s some big words to live up to! But I thank you Bruce!! And I would like to thank all the kids that read to me for making this all possible!
There are some obligations attached to this award.
I need to display the award badge, which I will do proudly.
I need to publish a post to inform the world of my great achievement. I think that this post will serve that purpose.
I need to nominate some fellow bloggers who have been outstanding in their field — and to that end I would like to nominate:
Julie Rowan -Zoch http://julierowanzoch.wordpress.com/ for her outstanding talent and inspiration.
Cindy Kilpatrick at Going Beyond Survival in a School Library http://schoollibrarybeyondsurvival.wordpress.com/ for her uncanny ability to find the most incredible bits of literary news and trivia.
And to The Family at Creative Family Moments http://www.creativefamilymoments.com/
because they are lots of fun and I think the kids will like this!
And lastly I need to let my nominees know that they are receiving this award!
So I congratulate my nominees and pass the torch and the obligations attached to it on to you! (if you are inclined to accept) Thank you for your inspiring posts!
congratulations! A Gargie – I’m sure it will become a much-coveted award.
Thank you! I’m sure that it will!
CONGRATULATIONS! You old dog, you won the very first gargoyle award. I am assuming this is great news for the animal kingdom as well as for us book lovers of the children’s kind. What?! No party?
Thank you for the kind words! Party? Of course there is partying! It’s not every day that one wins an award such as this!
