I received this wonderful piece of bling earlier last month from the ever-sweet, talented, lively and lovely, Finding My Wings In Life...
In spite of the fact that I kept on getting Findings muddled up with another blogger, for their writings were as wonderful, as magical, as heartfelt, she found it in her heart to offer me this wonderful recognition of being to blogging what Jerry Hall is to air-travel - An internationalista!
The International Blogging Community's Award - It's over there on the right... And it's gorgeous, right??! I love the international nature of our very great community here - I love checking out Statcounter's little map to see where you are all sitting, perched by an over-heating computer, or dozing in your armchair, trusty laptop at your side... Unless you're the one blogging from Starbucks on Rodeo Drive... but then I think that's Perez Hilton... He gets all his stylee tips from me, I'll have you know...
Seriously, I adore the fact that we can get to know one another, whereas in a life without our tippy-tappy we'd never have bumped luggage trolleys... Mine's the one piled high with Louis Vuitton luggage... Well, the Beckhams were having a garage sale when I last had my binox trailed on their Palace!
Painkillers make me woozy, so sorry for going off track...

If I think of my most International of Friends here in Blogland, I think of all of you, and this time particularly I would like to offer this spectacular award to my friends:
David McMahon at Authorblog If you've never been to see David, you're in for a rare treat - Writer, journalist, photographer, artist and poet - Go see him in Australia - It'll be fair dinkum, Mate!
Erin of A Woman In A Window and In Through The Back Door Wonderful, writerly, waving not drowning and winsome... Go visit, tell 'em Fhina sent yer, and don't look back...
Mad Aunt Bernard's Tortoise Poetry A very new bloggerista to me... And I want to award her international travels with a challenging bunch of tortoises, her mad, bad and dangerous to know, poetry, and her beautifully wrought writing and winning 'folie charmante'...
Dirty Socks and Pizza for her wonderful sense of humour and her tenacity and passion for bringing up her Teen Terrorists...
jet-setter and scientist... Plus, I love her art-ridden writings and her fabled Batcat!
Expat Mum for her famed transatlantic blogging, and for her wit and wisdom, and the fact that she has been brave enough to write a book, and clever enough to have it published, and because she is wonderful for finding us, and joining us HERE!
The amazing Sink, at A Bigger Cup, who is an incredibly patient and kind mother, and a gift to the world, although she's known to all and sundry as 'Sink!, and her cup invariably runneth over!'
I would be most grateful, mai dahlinks, if you would be so good as to kindly drop by their way and leave a comment or two for them...
Voila, a bientot, mes amis! Merci beaucoup! Je suis desolee, I am sorry if you do not see your colourful flag here... But it is fluttering away behind my eyelids, je vous assure...
Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!

OK can I just wiggle my nose like Samantha off Bewitched?? Cos all those rules? Oh, man....
Blimey Fhi - I don't know where you find the time or energy to not only do daily posts but also go through the rigmarole of the tagging and passing on. I just won't do it anymore. However, kudos on another well-deserved one
salut

Well my dear I don't think you're going mad (at least not yet anyway) But thank you for the kind words both on here and on my blog!
Merci Bien! I will have a go after I'm back from swanning around at the BlogHer conference.
What a fun, fun post. I get all silly when I think about the international connection we make through blogging. The viral community is so amazing. In my day we had pen pals, but this brings all the world so much closer.
Maybe we should start a humanitarian organization ...Bloggers for Peace.. . or Bloggers to Prevent Global Warming. Hmmm, gotta put more thought into that.
Thanks for visiting Prattle.
Thanks so much, dear Fhi! How sweet of you to think of me! I have been busy with summer kid stuff and not reading or writing much...thanks for reaching out to me. I have a couple of degrees -- I think I can figure out this award stuff...thanks again! xxoosink
congrats Fhina, the Internationalista :D
Congrats on the award, you worldly woman, you!!!! :)
Hey, I know I don't always comment, but always read!
Does that make me count - living in the USA with a French father and Greek mother?
Glad you are international!
My word, thank you for that amazing nomination. I am humbled by your choice, and even more so by the words you chose to describe my efforts.
My thanks, my thanks .....
Thank you s much beautiful Fhina; you are a true beauty inside and out.
I feel very honoured and I appreciate this nomination and your kind words more than I can express.;))
Have a wonderful Friday!
xoxo
Hello Fhina,
Still collecting the sparkly stuff I see. I think it is your energy what does it!
And when did you get that bicycle??
