Caring Bloggers Rose Day, May 10th!

More than two years with blogging, moving fast on my way to 200 000 page viewers, more than 500 posts written and about 5000 comments recieved. Little did I know in January 2005 how blogging would change my world. Blogging has been an eye opener, and more so because of all the friendly feedback you give me, because of all the lovely and caring blogs I read, because of the bloggers I have met, in real and over the world wide web, because of all the friendships I've developed during these years.

The blogging world is a place where love and caring is shared, and as a thank you from the deepest of my heart, I want to send out a bouquet of roses to all caring bloggers and blog viewers. 

My idea is to make May 10th the Caring Blogger's Rose Day. Let's pay forward that day some of what blogging has given us. Use a rose as a symbol and show the world that we are bloggers who care.    

I've made a series of cards using a few of the photos I've perviously used in my blog, and will send a collection to one of you.

All you have to do is write a comment to this post with a link to your blog (or your e-mail address). And please invite your blogger friends over. The winner will be announced on May 10th, the Caring Blogger's Rose Day!

I've got the idea to this from several places. Some time ago I was the lucky winner of the most beautiful lilac cards over at Beachys Cape Cod,and the winner of an Apple Blossom kit at ULLA's, Teresa is having a Pay it Forward giveaway these days, and Corey gave away the most wonderful roses to her blogging friends the other day. And last, but not least I will not forget the sweet taste of Ilva's roses!

You are incredible, congratulations! I didn't know that there were such high numbers of visitors around anywhere. No wonder, you always offer something more than worthwhile to drop in and sit down and read and look! Thank you for all the time and effort you are gifting to us.

This is a beautiful idea. I'd love to be entered in your drawing. Roses are in bloom everywhere in May - if we all post about them, what a visual treat it will be!

[tut-tut]

A wonderful idea; I can think of many bloggers who deserve a bouquet.

[cruststation]

You deserve a caring blogger rose just for suggesting this! Thank you for your words.x

[lauren Mumford]

A wonderful idea! I wish I had saved my "ugly roses" post for that day! But, I will play and off to get my button.

Roses, are a girl's best friend!

[Tracy]

What a lovely, super idea, Britt-Arnhild! It is us who ought to be sending you roses! You who creates this beautiful, thoughtful and mind-expanding place that we come to each day for a good dose of life medicine--thank you! I am only just beginning to feel the magic of the blogging community through my own blog too--it is truly amazing the amount of caring & sharing out there, it is wonderful. Oh, and do count me in! :o) Happy Days!

[Gill]

Hello Britt Arnhild, I would love to be in your lottery please!

The rose post that you wrote that inspired me most was the one in which you told about the three roses you keep in the bathroom as a prayer. I think that is a beautiful thought.
I have some of the lovely rosa rugosa in my garden too, and for the first time this year I have some climbing roses that have survived the winter. We planted them last year in memory of our Dalmation Jack, who died the Christmas before. Happily we have just got a new Dalmation puppy, called Bella! Happy Rose day on the 10th. Gill.

[Star]

Just making sure I'm in the running for your beautiful cards and to let you know that I have written my post for tomorrow. See you then!

[denise]

This really is a creative idea.I love flowers and roses are so beautiful.
This is such a happy blog, I love it.

[Connie (Spinning Grandma)]

What beautiful flowers! May 10th is half over but I will plead ... I would love the cards! I am going to put you in my favorites just because of the roses (well, not JUST because!) .... and will mention you today on my blog. My email is cpthegreat@federatedwildblue.com

[Mrs.Staggs]

Thank you Britt-Arnhild for your many kind gestures of friendship. I've picked a bouquet of roses for you too!

[Gumbo Lily]

It's May 10. Perhaps I'm too late, but this is a wonderful idea. Thank you.
