One-in-a-Million Award for Every One-in-a-Million Blogger

Yeah, It’s a One-in-a-Million Kind of Thing

One-in-a-Million by Trée George and Sandy Renshaw

My husband tells me that if someone on the planet is saying, “one in million” there’s a good chance that person is talking about me.

I know it’s not so. I know there are plenty of us who fit in that “one in a million” category. So I’ve decided to celebrate how unique we all are with an award!

I’m calling it the The One-in-a-Million Award for One-in-a-Million Bloggers. Everything about it is a one-of-a-kind thing. Read the rules and you’ll understand where I’m going. Then join on in, and we’ll get this party rolling. When it’s over, I’ll make a giant list of the One-in-a-Million Bloggers that we all know.

Here’s how to participate. It’s easy.

  1. Make up a one-in-a-million category — use lots of detail to name it.
  2. Choose a one-in-a-million blogger — the only one who fits that description.
  3. Collect the following information:
    your descriptive name of the category, a link to the blog and the blog author Your description probably explains every reason why you named it a one-in-a-million blog so that’s already covered. Do include a link to your own one-in-a-million blog and your own name — so that I can link back to you as the one-in-a-million nominator and cohort well..
  4. If you’d do me the favor to write One-in-a-Million in the subject line of an email and send all of the information to me at lizsun2@gmail.com, I sure would think you were one-in-a-million for helping me out that way.
  5. Go with the One-in-a-Million theme and only submit one please. I know you know two million people, but most of us don’t.
  6. The awards go on until December 31, 2006, 11:59 CST. (Chicago Time)
  7. And of course, be nice.

I’ll be the one-in-a-million judge. If I need help, I’ll ask few one-in-a-million friends I know for an opinion. Every day between now and the end of the year, I’ll be posting the links of both the one-in-a-million bloggers and the one-in-a-million benefactors who named them.

What An Award Posting Looks Like

Here are two one-in-a-million bloggers I already know. Just follow this handy-dandy One-in-a-Million format and you’ll do fine.

For the One-in-a-Million-Category of:

Sci-Fi storytelling and amazing art that moves people. This category requires talent that comes from a heart and soul mixed of cookies, tea, generosity, and filled up with listening, love and downright humanity. This award is bestowed with extra points for providing the art for the One-in-a-Million logo poster because all someone ever needs to do is ask.

Trée George at Decandent Tranquility



This award was submitted by: One-in-a-Million Cohort Liz Strauss

For the One-in-a-Million-Category of:

Being in love with people and graphics. This category requires always wanting to connect the two, laughing a lot, and having kind words for everyone, and somehow being able to spell customer service and help from the letters, Sandy. This award comes with special points for turning the art that Trée provided into the One-in-a-Million Logo poster, never stopping until it was a great example of her graphic abilities.

Sandy Renshaw at PurpleWren Workshop



This award was submitted by: One-in-a-Million Cohort Liz Strauss


So there you go . . . Haven’t you wanted to be a cohort just one time? Here’s your chance to do so in a big way. Who do you think is one-in-a-million? Take a minute. Make up a wild one-in-a-million category and let the world know.

Happy Holidays!

    Liz, I’m honored and humbled. You are, without doubt, one of a kind–the good kind. :-)

    Sandy did a wonderful job with the poster. It looks absolutely marvelous.

    What a wonderful way to close out the year. Brilliant!

    But to narrow my choice down to only one… Oooh, now that’s going to be a hard one. :???:

    Chris,
    It was all I could do not to gush this idea all over you. I had it yesterday and so wanted to make it happen them, but Sandy helped have patience until it was fully ready. :)

    Greetings,

    First of all, thank you Liz. It’s an honor to display this badge. You are one in a million for sure. You were very patient yesterday, even though you could hardly wait to implement this program.

    Trée, looking forward to talking more with you - maybe on a Tuesday call-in. Love your art! Thanks for the kind words. It was fun to work on the banner.

    Chris, thanks for the Klondike bar. I needed a dessert item right now. We’ll have to be careful so Liz doesn’t think we’re ganging up on her. :-)

    I’m off to ponder who to nominate…

    Sandy
