I would like to thank everybody that has given me awards over the last year. I am truly grateful. The fact that some people find my blog worthy of awards is simply wonderful.
However … I have very little time on my hands any more, so I would like to say that although I appreciate the awards, I cannot accept them  as I do not have the time to write the posts or pick other blogs to post them to.
I hope you all understand this, and I hope you don’t see me as being rude. I’ll be putting the image that I have on my other blog on here as a reminder. Thank you all for thinking of me and my blog. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks for understanding.
Alastair, totally understood and nothing at all rude about your post. While the awards are wonderful gestures, they are definitely very time consuming! Too often lateness in acceptance is commonplace because of time.
Thanks Sharla
well, I think we all know how I feel about them. Enjoy writing what you want!! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Hey, that’s a great picture and not rude at all. It’s the very reason I no longer participate. I just appreciate people visiting my site, just like you!!! Hugs Paula xxx
Thank you Paula 🙂 People visiting my blog is award enough for me as well
Mwaah! x
🙂
Gosh – I know the feeling. It can be quite overwhelming. I might do the same. I need to create one of those signs to post. Again – for sanity sake! 😯
Take my one if you wish Rosy.
Thanks Alastair! 🙂
Although I haven’t officially made the statement, I’ve been passing on awards myself. I completely understand. Just know your blog is award-worthy, in any case. 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I appreciate that
I certainly understand as I have passed on the awards myself. Having said that, your blog is worthy of most every award. Hope all is well with you Alastair. 🙂
Thank you LuAnn
Understandable, Alastair. You are still a great blogger and person and we can give you compliments. So take them and enjoy them! Hugs *
Well, I blog … thank you Ute
I find that I’m feeling the same way Alastair…it’s such a wonderful honor to have someone think you’re worthy of recognition so I understand what you’re trying to say 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I just don’t have time any more. I have so much that I want to, and need to do
exactly 🙂
We understand my dear friend, Alastair. You deserve the awards for being a fab human being and super awesome writer-blogger:)
😆 I wouldn’t go that far, but thank you anyway
