I have been nominated once again for the Blog of the Year Award 2012, hooray! Thank you very much to E1ain for the honour. Check out her blog for lots of pretty beaded jewellery crafts, musings on her life experiences, and the occasional cheeky or pretty photograph. And here is my new badge, proudly displayed:

The idea of this award is to pay it forward and show appreciation for our fellow bloggers. We spend a lot of time practicing our craft, and our intention is always to provide something entertaining, informative and accessible to our readers. I will list my nominees below, but it doesn’t stop there.

You can collect stars! I have received 2 nominations and subsequently 2 stars. If I am nominated again by somebody else, I can collect more stars, to a grand total of 6. What a fun game! There is also a dedicated Facebook group for bloggers of the year, see here.
