Giveaway and Awards

My good friend Cari at Beauty and the Little Beast (A.K.A. Two Under Two Whew!) is having a great giveaway for a basket full of goodies all made in Seattle. It has a value of over $70 but she keeps adding to it as she finds things so who knows what its worth now.



Cari has been a very faithful friend of The Fort and I am happy to share her blog with you. Please stop in and visit her and let her know that you are also a friend of The Fort.

I also wanted to thank Carey @ Life in the Carpool Lane for this awesome award she gave me for her Earth week that she recently did. Its a Mother Earth award for doing things to help keep our planet green. Thanks so much Carey, I love your blog as well as all you are doing for our planet.



Then I also received the Queen of all things Awe-Summ award. This award was given to me from my friend Melissa @ The Erickson Looney Bin. Now I am for sure no Queen, but I will take an Awesome award any day. So I'm just going to visualize it as a King of all things Awesome. Ok? You don't mind right?



Anyway so I'm suppose to list 7 reasons why I'm Awesome. I'm opting to skip that part just as Mimi did. Then I am suppose to give this award to 7 people whom I think are also awesome. Weeeeell that's impossible since I know WAAAAY more than 7 people who are awesome. So here is how its gonna go. If you are a follower of The Fort then you are FOR SURE very Awesome! So anyone listed in our followers at the top consider this YOUR award. You are SO awesome and we are so honored to call you our friends. Please accept this award and display it proudly.

Reminders:

Make sure you join in the fun with Vlogemotions again this Thursday. The first week was a HUGE success and it is only going to become more fun as more people play!

If you would like your blog to be seen here, just add a link to The Fort on your blog and add yourself as a follower on the Blog Frog widget in the right sidebar. This will give you exposure here at The Fort, as well as give us the oppotunity to get to know you better.


Love and Prayers,

Love Cari's giveaway. Way to go on the awards. Is the vlog giveaway closed for last week?

By the way you have a awesome heart, there is your reason number one.

Have a blessed day,

A vlog carnival? Now that is an inspired idea, Tim. You've been busy here at the Fort. You're also going to make one lucky participant very happy with that Flip camera.

Awesome prize for your kick-off!

Hey Tim,

Were you aware that Mr. Linky has caused a problem with your blog.

He is missing, and everything below him is not accessible either.

I see the MckMama is having the same trouble, as is Rachel at Once Upon a Miracle.

Just an FYI,
~Julie
