A Word or A Ward or Award

I have some serious catching up to do with my awards, so I am not going to follow any of the rules. I have told far too much about myself already, there is no more I really want to share about myself at this time. So I am just going show the awards and who I am nominating them to.

The Wonderful Team Member Readership Award I received from Nightlake at Call2Read and Patricia Drury at patriciaddrury in November last year.

For this I nominate:

Land Of Fun
Duncan
Livia Michaela Firinca
Gys
Oasien

From Morrighan at The Enchanted Solitaire, Maina at Frankfurt Malin, Rarasaur at Rarasaur  and Ute at Utesmile I received the Very Inspiring Blogger Award in November and from Addy at My Journey With Depression, Sharla at Catnip of Life, LyannV  at My Latter Half, Antonia at I Quit My Job And Moved to Guam and Sweet Purity at Nature’s Walk Photography in December. I also received it in January from everyone’s favourite half alien/half terminator at Ripley Connor, Tammy E Honey at My Blog (Layed Back Life), Ajay at AjayTao 2010. Again from Ajay in February along with Mischievous Eyez at My Thoughts, My Life and finally from Gys at The Day Rises On.  So I would like to say a HUGE thank you for the fifteen (15) Very Inspiring Blogger Awards.

For this one, I nominate … well, there isn’t the space as it would go on for weeks. Every one of you inspires me one way or another. The same as you all inspire other people. So this award goes to each and every one of you. Please take the award and display it even if you don’t follow it on. Know that you have inspired somebody with what you have written, what you have painted, what you have photographed, what you have found on the net, what you have given as information. You have all inspired someone, somewhere, somehow.

It’s Award Season

I am a long way behind with my awards. I mean a looong way.

That’s a few readers

Thank you to everybody who has decided to read my blog. In March 2012, I had four people who read my blog. They were all people who I knew. As I have said before, I was getting ready to close it down. I am glad I didn’t. I want to thank Steph Coombes and Idealistic Rebel one became reader 499, and the other became reader …

Thank you so much to everybody who reads my blog. Without you giving me the inspiration, I would have closed this down.

Thank you all. Help yourself to a cupcake
