I agree - BBAW is about celebrating everyone's blogs! I hope everyone was mentioned somewhere this week because most people work hard on their blogs. Great post!

What a nice thing to say. My husband asks me, 'Does anyone care about your pictures of vegetables anymore?' I do get lots of positive feedback from them, but for me it is a great reference to look back and see what I've been buying and cooking. Aww, thanks Natasha! What a nice thing to say.

It's just impossible, basically. I sometimes skip doing these kinds of tasks (because they're so hard, because I'm doomed to leave someone/many people out), but I decided that didn't really live up to the spirit of praise intended.

Aaahhh! I added so many blogs to my blogger reader yesterday that it wouldn't even hold all the posts from LAST NIGHT! Now I'm off to check out yours! I think I’ve only seen one or two of these.

I seriously considered not mentioning individual blogs. For me it was simply because I didn't want anyone to feel left out. In the end though, I decided, much like you, that more would be gained by featuring a few blogs I visit. I've had a blast today "collecting" URL's of new blogs to check out (my internet time is limited) and visiting them as I can. I wouldn't have known about many of these blogs had someone not featured them. It's been a great experience so far. I admit though I'm most excited about the interviews. That's my favorite part of BBAW. :-) What a wonderful post, Natasha, and great list. I seriously considered not mentioning individual blogs.

I think I need to re-edit it a bit. Amy – I just reread how that sentence sounds about a pat on the back and it just doesn’t sound right! I think I need to re-edit it a bit.

BBAW is about both the exposure and the affirmation. :) I understand the sticky politics involved in trying to list favorite blogs and even why people don't like awards. :) But we can't have a million best friends either. Anyway you've got a great list there! Some shortlisted some not some guest posting for BBAW. ;) Exactly Natasha though I think we all need pats on the back as well.
