Yes, you can still give an award. Here’s how:
One-in-a-Million Award for Every One-in-a-Million Blogger
Liz,
Wow, thank you for this!!
The one-in-million also goes to the Sharing Foundation’s founder, Dr. Nancy Hendrie, (one of the little old ladies in tennis shoes) as well as every member of our board, volunteers, and supporters who rallied behind the campaign and made it a success!
Hey Beth,
The whole thing is spectacular!
You be sure to tell them I said so! 🙂
Congratulations Beth!
(and the little old ladies in tennis shoes)
Love the picture in my mind.
That’s an amazing amount of money you raised.
You deserve the one in a million award.
Sandy
Yeah, Sandy.
Isn’t that amazing!
I still have a hard time believing it!
What blog software are you using that allows for threaded comments like this?
Hi Beth!
I bet you’re just so in a dream to have accomplished such a something!!
This is WordPress and a paged comment plugin. We’re not really threaded . . . we’re just used to talking a lot in the comment box. Hang around for a while it’s fun! 🙂
You’re not stranger here, anymore!
