Hello everyone!
When I started blogging, I didn’t expect anything of it at all. (well, I didn’t know what to expect either) 🙂 And I certainly would never have thought that I would make some great friends along the way too! Ever since I started to receive your lovely comments and your appreciation in the form of awards, I wanted to do something back for the WordPress community. So, I made an award myself! To show you all how grateful I am and to share a little love. Hope you all like it! (Yes, yes I know. Yet another award to consume your time, but you can’t say it ain’t special, though!) 😉
The Semper Fidelis Award

I created this award because I wanted to do something special for my friends on WordPress.
Semper Fidelis is Latin and means Always Loyal. Loyalty means the world to me. I am very loyal myself, but I’ve got major trust issues as well. And I think trust is very important if you are sharing so much of yourself with people you meet through the internet. So I am working on that! 🙂
Why the wolves? Because wolves have very strong ties with their pack. Like a family or a great group of friends. And I just love them!
This award stands for the loyalty and love between friends.
The Rules:
- Add the Semper Fidelis Award logo somewhere on your blog.
- Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.
- Nominate 5 bloggers who’s loyalty and friendship you value and you consider being part of your ‘pack of wolves’ on WordPress.
- Post something special for each one of your nominees and dedicate it to them. This can be a quote, saying, poem, picture, anything you think that would fit that person.
- Let the nominees know that you’ve nominated them.
My loyal nominees (yes, I know I said 5. This is to get things started!) 🙂
