Så trivelig! Og så fint tenkt! Er enig med deg jeg, det er så flott å få kontakt med mennesker rundt omkring i verden - bare fordi man har laget seg en blogg! Egentlig helt fantastisk at man sitter her og hakker i vei på tastaturet, klikker "send" - og så kan du i Finland lese det - eller en i California!
Alltid fint å besøke deg og bloggen din! Og for et flott nytt bilde du har lagt ut som "heading"!
Takk også til deg, for alle fine kommentarer og besøk hos meg! Klem fra Norge!

Valkyrien of Norway made me a hot blogger by this award
Thankyou dear friend. I must take care not to burn my fingers while writing :)
Oh please do not think I gave myself an award, even if I did start this one. There is a limit to my vanity. No, it was dear Pacey from Today's Blah that wanted to give this same award back to me as what I gave to her. So I made it as well as received it.
At leats that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
