Thank you very much !

One or two things about blogging

Most InfluentialA HUGE thank you to Mom Emily and the gang of kitties at Kitty Cat Chronicles for passing along the Most Influential Blogger Award to us !

The name of this award has a particular sense for us : since January, we tried to put into practice the advice of the BlogPaws community to improve our blog : publish several articles a week, be present on various social networks, find a line editorial, revise our design by means of the talented Glogirly, and finally take better photos.

We can now say that we publish on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, except particular event at a precise date. Wednesday’s “How to”looked like many to please you, and we are going to keep this theme for this day.
Our adventures and our products reviews find place on Mondays and Fridays. We would like we could make more products review, and share it with you !
Your visit and your comments are our reward, and we thank you for being part of our life.

Here are the rules for the Most Influential Blogger Award :

  • Display the award on your blog. – DONE
  • Announce your win with a blog post and thank the blogger who awarded you. – DONE
  • Present 10 deserving Bloggers with the Award. – DONE CHEATING SEE BELOW
  • Link your nominees in the post and let them know of their being awarded with a comment (or a ping back). – SEE BELOW
  • Include an embedded video of your current favourite song. If a video is not possible you can embed a SoundCloud track.

We begin not to know any more to whom we have already given a price, and it is difficult to choose among all the blogs which we know. We are thus going to cheat a little with the third rule : feel free to take this award if you don’t have it already !

Would you have remarks or proposals about our blog ?

We told you it has been a while since Stephanie had come make the paparazza at the beginning of June ; here is the access to her albums on Flickr :

Ses photos sont magnifiques : mille mercis Stephanie !

We also have to thank The Canadian Cats : we had the pleasant surprise to receive the Shine On Award from them last week ! Thank you very much to have thought to us buddies !

As we had also received it the week before on behalf of Carmine, Milita and Jewel, you will find rules to be followed and some anecdotes about us here.
All blogs which we follow deserve this award, then if you don’t still have it, feel free to take it.
