Award, Most Influential Blogger, Photography, Thank you everyone, Tickled Pink, Wordpress

Just Tickled Pink

I have to say that it is with great delight and humble privilege that I now accept the award of “Most Influential Blogger” from lovely Dawny Hosking. She is a wonderful writer and fellow WordPress member who posts about yoga, poetry, and so much more. I have to admire Dawn as she does all this even though she suffers from much pain in her life. Do hop over and visit her blog at dawnyhosking.wordpress.com/

Pink

I’m sure you’ll find something there to interest you too.

I believe Dawny originally received this award to pay forward from Shaun over at his headquarters Looking for reasoning to a complicated world I’d recommend checking his stuff out well — very worthwhile, interesting and cool.

Here’s what the award looks like:

Now I’ve been lucky enough to receive it as well….Yeeehhhh!

Well here are the rules which I must take note off:

1. Display the Award on your Blog.
2. Announce your win with a post and thank the Blogger who awarded you.
3. Present 10 deserving Bloggers with the Award.
4. Link your awardees in the post and let them know of their being awarded with a comment.
5. Answer each of the 11 questions that your awarder asked, and then write 11 for your awardees (or use the same ones up to you !)

That’s fair enough, and on to the questions:

1) What makes you happiest? Relaxing with family and friends and taking photos.
2) Do you love the Oceans or Mountains more? Absolutely adore both and also love photographing them both along with everything else that’s in between.
3) What has been a special moment in 2013? Globe Trotting and River Cruising in Europe in Spring and now writing this blog Memoir….wonderful experience.
4) What’s your favourite quote? “Don’t worry, Be happy”.
5) Do you like yourself? Absolutely.
6) Do you stay up till midnight on New Year? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Love fireworks though.
7) Something you wish could be done ASAP? Peace for all and an end to suffering. (I’m with Dawn on this one.)
8) What was your favourite class when still at school? Dance.
9) What musical instrument have you tried to play? Piano –not well!!
10) Anything you had wished to have learned earlier? Well I guess photography of course but I sort of think that the doors open when you yourself are ready to learn!
11) Do you like to do Crafts, Drawing or Painting? Sorry but I have to say photography again. And I’d love to learn to use Photoshop if I can.

I’ll just stick with these same questions for my nominated bloggers as well — saves time and they are as good as any I could ask.

My new nominations for influential blogger awards are: Oh don’t make me choose, really — so many.

WordPress family creating a splash.

Well yes it’s official! I’m now part of the wonderful WordPress family and I couldn’t be happier!

A couple of weeks ago I received this welcome award from lovely Dawn Hosking and it means a lot to me. Please go over and check out her blog here: http://dawnyhosking.wordpress.com/2013/10/19/we-are-family/

I’ve only been blogging a few short months but I have to say I really enjoy the experience. Dawn has been a wonderful WordPress friend during this time. She is an inspiration. Please do visit her site and read her wonderful words.

WordPress Family Award

But you are all such a wonderful bunch of helpful, talented, positive and caring people. I’m finding more and more that I just can’t wait to sit down with a nice cup of coffee whenever I can and catch up with all of your latest posts and comments.

Now to be awarded the WordPress Family Award is a wonderful surprise. So thank you very much Dawn.

As you read this, you may be asking yourself where did the idea for this “Part of the WordPress Family Award” first originate. A fabulous man called Shaun created it and this was his rationale for doing so:

‘This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family” I started this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side as only WordPress can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award. Thank you,

Shaun @ http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/‘

What a warm and wonderful award to create and pass on to others we appreciate.

Well here are the award rules.

If you receive this award it means someone really values all the hard work you put into your blog and the kind and considerate thoughts and comments you share with others through the WordPress experience. It means you’ve been identified as someone who is part of the WordPress family.

In accepting the award you are asked to:

1. Display the award logo on your blog.

2. Link back to the person who nominated you.

3. Nominate 10 others you see as having a positive impact on your WordPress experience; people you feel are part of your own WordPress family.

4. Let your 10 new “Family” members know you have awarded them

5. That is it. Just please pick 10 people that have taken you as a friend, and spread the continue to spread the love.

My new Word Press Family Awards today go to:

I know that’s just a couple too many…..but I do love all of your blogs just so much and I’m very thankful you take the time to create such a wonderful WordPress experience for others. I find your posts fascinating, entertaining, interesting, uplifting and loveable. You all put a lovely positive spin on my days. Congratulations and thank you. Oh and please don’t think you have to rush to accept this award and no problem if it is too much at the present time – I can fully understand. Just know that you are appreciated, that’s all.

Oh and I’d like to add that there are just so many other bloggers out there that I love heaps as well. To everyone I am following. I love you all. You brighten my days. Many many thanks.
