Hi Kitty,
Congratulations on the awards. And thanks again for awarding me with two blog awards?
My new blog site changed in September. I now have a self-hosted site at http://www.tracycampbell.net/blog. Perhaps I forgot to tell you.
Have a lovely day!
Tracy
Hi Tracy, nice to see you again. I didn’t know about the change. I’ll go fix that.
Thanks. I’m blown away by the awards.
As you should be–blown away that is.
And I hope you’ll sign up again.
Count on it.
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Hi Kitty: You deserve those awards! Your blog is super!
Hi Jackie, thanks.
Congrats Kitty. Your role as Black Dragon Style Kung Fu instructor sounds amazing.
Hi Emma. Thank you.
Being an instructor is fun. I get to help other avoid becoming victims. XD
Working with handicapped is challenging, but also enlightening for the instructor. Some of what they’ve taught me is amazing.
In my opinion, learning self defense is a necessity for everyone.
Thanks, Kitty! I’ve got a lot of new blogs to check out, and I look forward to exploring
Congrats on the award!
Thank you, Dana. You’re awesome and I’m looking forward to the Bucket List launch.
You deserve the awards.
Aw, what a great shout out! And I am a Caramel Over Chocolate girl too! This drives my hubby nuts when we go to pick out a dessert to share at a restaurant or something, lol.
Hi Angela.
Awesome. Hubby likes caramel over chocolate any day, so it’s usually not a problem.
Well deserved awards, Kitty. You have a great blog. And thanks for nominating the Third Sunday Blog Carnival.. Each issue benefits from your inclusion on it!
Thanks, Adriene. I’m happy to be a part of it.
Woot! Thank you for the wonderful award! We so appreciate your support, Kitty!
