Award Time! :) :) :)

I am flabbergasted once again that I got these great awards from a couple of amazing people!

If you could see me now, I’m blushing  like crazy! 🙂

I have been nominated for The Blog of the Year Award 2013 by

Emma –> http://emma1951.wordpress.com/

And

Dear Kitty –> http://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/

Thank you both so much! I am really honored to receive this award from these two amazing bloggers!

Yes!!! I got 6 stars now! Lol! My collection is complete and now I may put this wonderful banner on my blog:

 

I am so lucky! 🙂

 Anyway, on with the show!

This is a very special award because there are in fact stars to collect!

When you begin you will receive the ’1 star’ award- and every time you are given the award by another blog- you can add another star!

There are a total of 6 stars to collect.

Which means that you can check out your favorite blogs- and even if they have already been given the award by someone else- you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum of 6 stars! You can just ‘swop’ your badge for the next one each time you are given the award!

You can find all the badges and banners and information you need via this link: ‘Blog of The Year 2013′ Award Badges.

The rules for this Award are

1-Select the blog(s) you think deserve the Blog Of The Year 2013 Award.

2-Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen- there are no minimum or maximum number of blogs required- and ‘present’ the blog(s) with their award.

3-Let the blog(s) that you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the instructions with them- (please don’t alter the instructions or the badges!)

4-Come over and say hello to the originator of the Blog Of The Year 2013 Award via this link:http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/blog-awards-2-/blog-of-the-year-2013-award/

5-You can now also join the Blog Of The Year Award Facebook Page. Click the link here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BlogoftheYear

Share your blog posts with  an even wider audience.

6-And as a winner of the award- please add a link back to the blog that presented you with this award-and then proudly display the award on your blog- and start collecting stars!
