AWARDS SEASON IS HERE! BLOG OF THE YEAR AWARD 2013

Awards are like buses evidently…and the driver of this particular bus is Karen Oberlaender. If you want to find out more about Karen (and why wouldn’t you) head on over http://okiewashere.wordpress.com/. It’s a gateway to further awesomeness at http://mytrainofthoughtson.wordpress.com/ and http://inasmallcompass.wordpress.com/. Talented eh!

She has nominated me TWICE in the last few days for this handsome looking award…

You get one star for each nomination, thus my award now looks more like THIS:

In order to accept this award, I also need to nominate some fellow bloggers as well. There are a handful of bloggers who I have made sure I get email notifications when they post. They write stuff I like, and are funny, witty and talented. And if I actually ever met them, I reckon we would be friends. These people are (drum roll please)…

http://blackiswhiteblog.wordpress.com/ is put together by Davide Perretta, a film lover of the Swiss persuasion. His blog has recently had a nice make over as well, and should be checked out.

http://lovefromtara.com/ is by, yes, Tara. She is from Australia (land of BBQ’s, heavy drinking and swearing) and she has plenty to say about almost everything, although she refrains from swearing. Can’t say the same about the heavy drinking though.

http://dtmmr.com – This is a popular site for us Movie bloggers, because quite simply Dan is the Man. He sure gets through some movie watching, always has a wicked sense of humour about the films he has watched, and always finds time to read and comment on other posts. Stand up guy!

http://literaryvittles.wordpress.com/ Alina has a nice little blog about various things, including some movie review, of which she is very adept at. She is another follower who always takes the time to comment, which means a lot. Cheers Alina.

http://carabensonphotography.wordpress.com I think Cara and myself started blogging around the same time so I’m always keen to guide people to her site to see her great photography work. Check it out.

I also need to point out the originator of the Blog of the Year award. Alyson Sheldrake is not only a blog award originator, but clearly a talented artist as well. She can be found at this link http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/blog-awards-2/blog-of-the-year-2013-award/ and it is well worth checking out.

Three cheers for Karen for nominating me, and three cheers for my own nominees!

Here’s to you.

  I’m worried about you, do you need help? Should ‘Wine Enthusiast’ read ‘Alcoholic’? haha

    “I’ve only got a drinking problem when I haven’t got a drink” I can’t remember who said that quote, but I believe it applies here 😊👍

Wow thanks!! I’m honored to be included in this roundup – there are some fabulous blogs in that list. Already made a few discoveries. I’m working to put together a permanent Blogroll Tab and I will let you know when that goes live… It always takes me longer to get stuff up than I anticipate. 😀

  I want to do that as well, I’m not sure how to do it though! I need to sit down and have a look in depth!
