Blog of the Year Award for 2012

Dear Reader,
I am very humbled at the moment, as my blog posts have been nominated by my peers (what could possibly be better) for Blog of the Year Award.  I was blessed with six stars before I even had a chance to accept the second one.  I want to thank Sharla Shults (for two of them from two different blogs of hers), Micki Peluso, Pat Garcia, Rosemary Adkins, and Raani York for this special award.
So, without further adieu, let's get to the next award...one that requires very little demand and keeps on giving.

Believe it or not…

Yes, an actual “current” Blog Award!

Thank you Sharla Shults,catnipoflife for my first nomination of the “Blog of the Year 2012” award, and Awakenings for my second http://awakenings2012.blogspot.com/. Thank you Raani York http://raaniyork.wordpress.com/tag/raani-york/for my third, Rosemary Adkins http://www.extraordinaryireland.com/ for my fourth, Micki Peluso http://mallie1025.blogspot.com/ has honored me with the fifth, and Pat Garcia  http://garciaandwalkon.me with the sixth.

Do you know a blog that deserves an award?

Do you have special blogs that you love to read?

Which blogs do you bookmark and follow?

Would you like to give them an award this year?

Then the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award is for you!

The ‘rules’ for this award are simple:

1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award.

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

3 Please include a link back to this page Blog of the Year 2012 Award and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)

4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them

5 You can now also join The Facebook group – click ‘like’ on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience

6 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…

Yes – that’s right – there are stars to collect!

Unlike other awards which you can only add to your blog once – this award is different!

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 6 stars!

‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Badges

There are six badges for you to collect – you can either ‘swap’ your badge for the next one each time you are given the award – or even proudly display all six badges if you are lucky enough to be presented with the award six times!
