I was over the moon to hear from Catherine at http://caiteile.com/ that she has included me in her nominations for the “Blog of the Year 2012 Award” - http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/ Recognition is a great motivator, so a big Thank You to everyone for finding and reading my blog.
This has been a good blogging year for me, largely because of two prompts which I discovered - A-Z Challenge and Sepia Saturday - both very stimulating to follow and great fun to compose. It has been amazing to read how fellow contributors have interpreted each letter or each photo prompt so differently.
Now I have a new tricky challenge of nominating others for this award from the many blogs on my reading list. Here they are:

ReplyDeleteA well deserved recognition of your very engaging blog Susan! Thank you so much for nominating my blog for the award -it is such a privilege that people make time to read it and make comments, let alone receive an award.
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone for their kind comments. I appreciate them very much,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeleteYou can collect another star, you deserve it! I nominated you for blog of the year award!
ReplyDeleteThankyou SO much Susan for your nomination. Can't begin to tell you how delighted I am. Sorry for being so slow to respond but it's all been go go go :-)... Have almost completed my nominee's list and will send you the link very soon. I've decided to no longer include the link back to the originator of the Award because it's serves no useful purpose and is not a requirement for a huge number of other Awards.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another Star. It's so very well deserved and I love that people pass them on with an open heart...Enjoy!!! Cheerio for now, Catherine
