I got this fun meme from Connexions! I couldn’t decide on 3, so you get 5!!! Please note - no cows were harmed in the making of this post ;-)!

If you’re not familiar with blogtipping, it works thus:

* Choose three or more bloggers you admire and link to them;
* List three reasons why you admire each one; and
* Add one tip for each blogger.

Brittany @ Bitter Amalgamations
1. Brittany is one of my favorite people ever - literally. We’re really good friends IRL.
2. She has one of the best senses of humor I know. I mean, honestly, who refers to their life as God’s sitcom?!
3. She’s an incredibly descriptive writer, and I LOVE to read her writing.

Tip: Brittany’s new to the blogosphere, and she hasn’t really gotten involved yet. She just needs a little encouragement ;-)! Won’t you go encourage her?

Lisa @ Just a Girl
1. Her site always has great design ;-)!
2. I can always find good links over here.
3. Lisa always has great photos displayed through her Flickr

Tip: She got all married and doesn’t post as often, LOL! However, that could be because she just got back from her gorgeous honeymoon in Bonaire :-)!

Leanne @ Intricate Art
1. Want to know what’s going on in the blogosphere? Stop by here!
2. IRL, Leanne is an artist, and she constantly showcases her awesome works and photographs on her site.
3. Who wouldn’t love the mama of the Thursday Thirteen?!

Tip: The rat in the glue trap freaked me out, LOL! No more pictures of rats!

Bug @ An Indian Summer
1. Sarcastic as all get out.
2. Bug speaks her mind and doesn’t care what people think - it’s refreshing.
3. I’ve known Bug since before she got big into blogging, and she hasn’t gotten too big for her britches. She’s still one of the nicest people I know online - love her to bits!

Tip: She’s so good with tech-y stuff, I always learn from those posts, but she hasn’t posted many lately.

Shannon @ Rocks In My Dryer
1. The mishaps at Shannon’s house are hilarious - I try not to read her blog when I’m in class!
2. She started Works-For-Me Wednesdays, and while I don’t participate, I love reading what other people post about!
3. She uses lots of pictures in her posts, so we always know just what she’s talking about!

Tip: More of a question than a tip . . . you’ve got some major comment-age goin’ on over there - do you respond to comments in your posts? I’m always curious to see the habits of bloggers.
