My Seven Cents.. I mean Links

I was invited by blog family members Raymund (who owns the incredible blog Ang Sarap) and Just Ramblin’ (who owns the adorable blog Just Ramblin’) to do this Seven Links challenge (Thank you guys ). The purpose of this challenge is to unite bloggers, and for blog owners to share their old and forgotten posts that deserve recognition. So here are the rules.. if you so choose to participate:
1) If a blogger is nominated, if they want, they can publish his/her 7 links, from the blog they own, that fit the categories below (1 link for each category).
2) That blogger can then nominate up to 5 more bloggers to take part in this challenge.
Of course I had to wait till Creative Week was over.. but here I am and here are my picks .

1. The Most Beautiful Post: Chocolate Concept Shop.. Roadtrip Anyone?
2. The Most Popular Post: Awards come in Big Packages
The day I gave out those Awards to such deserving blogs, was the happiest day I had in April and the most popular post (based on hits) till this day

3. The most controversial post: Sleeping Single..
4. The most helpful post: Thor Movie Review

5. The post that was surprisingly successful: Home Decor and Me
6. The post that did not get the attention it deserved: Travel plans.. I wish I could visit..

7. The post I am most proud of: Gratitude & Gratitude Part Deux

So here are the people I choose to participate in this 7 Links Challenge (if you’ve been chosen before or if you choose not to complete this.. no one will be mad. Real Life can be brutal at times ). Better yet, ALL of my blog family (who comments, subscribes, visits) should be recognized because they are amazing blogs.. you can find their web links in the comment section of each post.
Charles (Five Euro Food) | Kim (For Your Amusement) | Lisa (Smart Food and Fit)
Mental Xpress (Mental Xpress) | Spiderpaw (Spiderpaw’s Blog) | Tanvi (Sinfully Spicy)

I know I always say this, but I truly appreciate everyone who visits, subscribes, supports, or comments on this blog. This blog is special to me and so are all of you. You’ve become my online family and I will always support my blog family. Enjoy your Sunday

Thank you so much for the nomination Kay, and for thinking of me! It’s fun to “go back in time” on posts and so I’m looking forward to doing that. Nice revisiting (and visiting for the first time) some of your older posts too! Hope you’re having a good day!

  Hey Charles . No problem . You have amazing post so I can’t wait to see what your links are. It is fun to go back and read some of your old stuff.. I know I was reminded of plenty of my post. I’m glad you enjoyed my older post and i hope you’re having a great day

Great roundup BabyGirl. I hadn’t read the sleeping single one, reminds me of my honeymoon. We went to Venice and had a double bed, except when you pulled back the comforter it was two twin beds pushed together. Hmm, well anyway, that chocolate shoppe was yummy too. Felt the need for a subject change!

  Hey Greg . Thanks.. as always its an honor coming from you . And how did I know you were going to have a funny story to go along with this comment.. lol. And two twin beds pushed together is better than having one twin bed lol. Subject changer lol. I hope you and Katherine are enjoying the day today

  Hey Kim . No problem girl. I know you’re busy and you’re in no way obligated to do this.. but you know I love your blog and going back to see your amazing post would be fun. But your sanity comes first.. and I know you work hard and need to have some fun every now and again . I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well

Just went back to read your places you’d like to visit. All great choices! I’d love to see Columbus Circle in NYC. I missed that when I was there. And Spain and Greece are on my list too. I second Greg – great round-up!

- #10 by Kay aka Babygirl on August 22, 2011 - 4:06 PM
  
  Hey Kristy . Kristy I think you and the family would love Columbus circle. It’s so much to do in that area. I think the kids would have the best time and you and Chefdad may get a little romantic in the city lol. I’m glad you enjoyed the round up because I definitely enjoyed your picks as well . I hope you and the family are enjoying the day today

What a fun 7 links post though I don’t know how you narrowed it down… in the short time that I have been following your blog, I have found humour, tenderness, art, imagination and inspiration. Just love reading you!

- #12 by Kay aka Babygirl on August 22, 2011 - 4:10 PM
  
  Hey Kelly . It was VERY HARD to narrow it down girl lol. Seriously.. I was racking my brain and finally had to come up with a system in order to choose. I choose based off of comments and stats. I had no other choice lol. And thank you soooo much for that comment. I really try to bring art in everyone’s lives to brighten their day. I;m glad you visit this blog and I absolutely adore visiting yours . I hope you’re having a great day today

Some of it I already had read but not that chocolate concept shop, how did I missed that beautiful post. Thanks for sharing those links I am sure some people would not have read some of those great posts of yours.

- #14 by Kay aka Babygirl on August 22, 2011 - 4:11 PM
  
  Hey Raymund . You missed the chocolate concept store? Ahhhh isn’t it wonderful? lol. I think that’s one of my favorite post and I definitely plan on visiting this place lol. And thank you for nominating me.. I enjoy your blog immensely and to be nominated by you meant a lot to me . I hope you’re enjoying the day today

Hey Kay,

Fantastic idea and it’s always great for all bloggers to recognise and appreciate each others work, whether it’s a one liner or something bigger, each thought is creative in it’s own right.

Congratulations to all those bloggers nominated, good stuff.

Regards
D.

  Hey D . I couldn’t agree with you more.. each blog has it own creative identity and I always enjoy reading other blogs and seeing the creative side of others. You always end up learning something new and I try to learn something new each day. I wanted to nominate you but I know you’re probably busy with those beautiful kiddies . I appreciate you visiting this blog.. and I appreciate you being one of my good blogging friends
