First-ever Blog Award!

Blogs are one of those things that have become part of everyday life for many people nowadays. But blogging is a lot more work than most would realize. It’s also a lot scarier than you would think, because it involves you putting yourself out there and being vulnerable to criticism and being judged. But all the negatives aside, the blogging community is filled with lovely people and is a grand place for support and connecting with people.

And there are plenty of great people indeed! Like Chelsea of Aphrodite Perception who nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award! Thank you for the love, Chelsea. I so appreciate it! I started this blog to share my creative adventures, and it has since slowly evolved into a place where I share DIYs, recipes, my annual list, thoughts on life, and things I love. There are millions of blogs out there. And I’m so grateful that out of all of them, there are people who actually like/enjoy/appreciate what I write and what I do.

So in the spirit of the award, I’m nominating fifteen more people to receive the Versatile Blogger Award. Because everyone deserves a little love and encouragement (:

If you’re one of the fifteen FUN bloggers that I nominated, here’s what you have to do:

1. Display the Award Certificate on your blog.
2. Announce your win with a post (like this one!). Make sure you post a link back to whoever nominated you as a ‘thank you’ for the nomination.
3. Present the award to your own fifteen deserving bloggers.
4. Leave each of the nominees a comment to let them know you’ve nominated them after you have linked them to your post.
5. Post seven interesting things about yourself.

These nominees are listed in no particular order. Some of them are budding writers, others have been blogging for awhile. But either way they love what they do so go and check out them out!

4. I started running after being influenced by the rest of the runners in my family.
