I have read the *What is Your sell By Date* and thoroughly recommend this but I haven't read any others yet. So I have got a lot of catching up to do!

I thank you my first ALL new POTW!
The atmosphere has changed, its different but still charged with enthusiasm ......
I'm off work today and have the time to laze back and ctach up, particularly with all those mentioned here..

Tabor said...

I am trying so hard to keep up with various blogs. There are many good ones, but I think I would spend my entire time at the PC if I did so. I have a list of bookmarks already and do not know when I will get to them...but then when I found you I was so glad...so who know what other gems are out there.

Nessa said...

So many wonderful offerings.

Thanks so much for finding these for us Hilary. I'm sure it must be very time consuming and dedication is necessary. I'm off to read, read, read!

Daryl said...

Wow! Thank you so much!! It is an honor, for sure. Now I'm off to read the others. :-)

blunoz said...

Wow, thanks for including me in the POTW, Hilary! I'm tremendously honored!

Meeko Fabulous said...

Just dropping over to say hello. I've seen you around on Nancy and Rain's blogs so I thought I'd say hi. :)

Rosaria Williams said...

Good job, Hilary, and a wonderful service you're continuing. It allows us to meet new folks and continue to improve our perspectives. Brava.

Jo said...

There are so many wonderful blogs out there, and the one of best ones is

http://paulasladeimho.blogspot.com/

and people have not discovered it yet.

I'm finding that blogging has become a social network and that seems to detract a bit from the essence of blogging.

I will be interested to see what some of your future choices will be. You are very astute. Your blog should be included in your POTW. :-)

Stacey J. Warner said...

I look forward to checking these out...

Congrats to everyone.

Jeni said...

Plenty of good reading there, I'm sure. Now -how to work them in? I'll figure out a way, somehow though.

Angie Ledbetter said...

Congrats to winners! (Soooo wish I had more reading time.) :(
