Weekly Winners Dec30 – Jan5
HEY, Everybody! Here’s the first Weekly Winners Edition of 2008!
A bit of begging news to start off with. Mr. Lady went and did something extremely insane sweet, and nominated me for a Blogger’s Choice Award for Best Photography! Thing is, I’m afraid I’m going to get stomped into the ground, guys.
Could you, maybe, help me out and go vote for me? You will have to sign up in order to vote, and I know that’s kind of a hassle… but, um, PLEASE? Please with a cherry? That I don’t even have? Uh….
I’ll give you a spongebath and shampoo your carpet every Sunday. I will also feed your pet Walrus, Bubba, and shave the bark on all your trees. I have NO idea what that means. I just felt compelled to say it.
So, do we have a deal?
If you are a freaking AWESOME person, click the following lovely Blogger’s Choice Awards icon, sign up, and vote for me!
After you vote, drop me a line in my inbox at thelotuscarroll@hotmail.com letting me know you voted. Include your preferred “display name” and URL in the e-mail, and BLAM, I throw you some love on the sidebar. Lookie over there! Weee!!!
May your Karma (and your fondness for sponge baths and link love) be your guide. Don’t end up with a list, like Earl.
And now on to business!

December 30th – January 5th

Love the snow photo and those bubbles! Beautiful shots
Joel’s last blog post..All about me(even I didn’t know it)
Secret Agent Mama
I really can’t tell if Braden Cherub looks like you or John. Every picture of him I see one of the other, and sometimes both. Like a holograph!
Lovely pictures. Unfettered is my favorite.

First, missy. There’s no need for linkage because of a vote. I’d vote regardless of the link (but it *is* good Karma and I appreciate that the way I appreciate the heated leather seats that came with our minivan. It wasn’t something I ordered, it just was a feature on that car. And damn, that’s nice in the middle of a bitter cold Michigan winter.
So thank you for the love, girlie. Your photos are amazing. You *should* win that award hands down. You look so cute in your unfettered photo. I am absolutely positive I would not have the guts to take, print or post a photo of myself period. Fettered or Un.
But you look so scrubbed clean, so purely human and so genuine. I like that picture.
cardiogirl’s last blog post..Stuff I Don’t Understand
Simon J. James
I like the idea of tiny little packages of happiness, I’m gong in search of them on this cold, cold morning in London. I hope you find many of them to in Americaland.
mountainmama
You DO scrub up rather well…catch me giving you lot a close-up like that…I think not!
I love ‘em all, as ever, and I’ll have my Braden dipped in chocolate, please – but I’m especially enamoured of “The Magic of Snow”.
Reminds me of my first view of falling snow, at night in England when I was 21.
I promise I’ll come back and vote, but I must away to bed. I’ve posted and linked and must rest my weary head…

Judith Shakespeare
Wow… I envy your confidence in taking your camera into the bathroom. I’m a terrible klutz- and a paranoid one at that. LOL. Like everyone else, I love “unfettered”. You’re so darn cute and clean and rather naked, aren’t you?
Great set, as always, love!

Ok, I’m seriously outdone with the talent here, but I decided to play, anyway.
Of yours, the bubble pic is my favorite. Tiny packages of happy…you are SO right!

Lou
Anyone with the chutzpah to take (and publish) pictures of Kevin or Leroy ( Just which one was that? ) certainly has my vote.
Besides, it isn’t really a fair competition – you have the two cutest subjects going – Braden and you.
Lou’s last blog post..Sunday morning, comin’ down ….
Mr Lady
First:
Yes, I am totally aware that there are photobloggers with a bigger following who think they take better pictures than you. One: They are wrong. Two: None of the came up with the world’s best weekly meme. Really, it rocks. You should win.
Second: My pictures are up. They are all crap (guess who LOST her good camera batteries and had to use dollar store ones instead? Blondy McStupidpants, that’s who.) They are up regardless.
Mr Lady’s last blog post..You’re a better mom than me.
Samuel John Klein
This time’s from me is a place I lived in when I was as old as the Carroll scion is now. A little place – a little town, a little creek, a gray Oregon day.
I’ll get over to that place and vote for you …

Aw man I’m such a ‘tard! I meant to come here right after posting which is OVER NINE HOURS AGO. Right. Sorry about the shouting but how stupid is that exactly. Not like I’m far from ‘puter, I’m there ALL THE FRICKIN’ TIME! So yeah. Good grief Charlie Brown. They’re all posted. Have been for a while. No you know about it. yippee!
And I will most definitely go vote for you. Now. Before I forget, since I forget just about everything these days. Ugh.

I am a slug. (Pour salt on me.)
Lovely snow picture. I wish it would snow here. Stick boy is hilarious. And great definition on the eye close-up! You are braver than I am. I wouldn’t dare post a picture like that because then you would see the forest of my eyebrow (singular). Did you use auto-focus or get lucky with manual focus?
Mine are up, and even before midnight. Go me.
Stephen
Wow, those are great photos. I wish mine could turn out better. :’(

Stick boy is a great shot. And such a boy child thing — I do not know why boys love sticks so much, but when my boys were younger we always had a pile of sticks outside the back door.
All really great photos!

Love the snow picture. I am embarrassed that it took me this long to revise your address in my feed, but, um, I’ve been busy copying you and moving my site over to wordpress. Yay, wordpress! Except, um, how do you load in pictures from your computer and not from a flickr url?

I voted! You are awesome, Cracker!
And I got my WW up – tho I had to cheat on the post date. That’s allowed for tired mommies, right?
