Thank You For Your Recognition

Significant Blogger AwardMany thanks to Kim of Laketrees for giving me the Significant Blogger Award especially because of the wonderfully flattering reasons she passed it on.

"These special friends have a sense of community and are wholeheartedly committed to spreading their message and friendship generously…

these Bloggers excel in many different areas and all of them make a significant difference to my world…".

Around the time I was in the process of moving this blog over to WordPress, late last year, I was very lucky to win a sketch drawn by Kim in a competition. Here is a minuscule version of the portrait. Isn’t she so talented! I could only give her a small portrait image to work from too.

Be the blog awardMeg of Dipping into the Blogpond had kindly passed on this Be the Blog Award. Thanks Meg. It does not matter that I have received this before, it is the thought that counts not the image. Anyway this is a pink one, the other gray :-)

 



To The Coven

Motivation for blogging has been lacking today and I have just realized why. My daughter has been visiting from Perth, along with a Canadian friend of hers who is doing a long world tour. It was the first time I have seen my daughter since she was transferred with her job to WA 3 months ago and her week long visit was wonderful. Now that she has gone back I am feeling flat. I am relieved now I have come to this realization, I have not gone off blogging after all :-)

I have been catching up on some pingbacks and which has cheered me up no end.

Be the Blog Award Dipping into the Blogpond Meg of Dipping into the Blogpond has awarded me the “Be the Blog Award”. Thanks Meg. :smile:

I would like to recognize some new blogs which have provided me with much interested reading already. I encourage you to go and visit them and give them support in their forays into our world of blogging.

These ravishing ladies are two of the three members of “The Coven” and although the third is not a new blogger I do not want to miss her out here. Anyone that can convince others of the rewards of blogging is worthy of it :razz: Therefore my third awardee is:

I think it is wonderful that you three have developed such a supportive community.

If you do not want to accessorize your blog with pink you can choose one of the alternative badges provided by the award originator, Mark of Me and My Drum

Blogging Mentor Award

I have gained so much more knowledge of blogging than I could possibly have learned just by researching the subject. This is all due to the help, support and encouragement I have received from other bloggers. I have therefore created the Blogging Mentor Award to recognize and thank those who help us on our path to blogging, be it encouraging and helping us to start blogging or helping us to be the best we can, once we have started.

Unlike most awards, it is not necessary to have received it yourself to be able to pass it on to others. It is free for anyone to use; anyone who wishes to say thank you to their own blog mentors. All that I ask is that you include a mention and link to my Blog Mentor Page. This way I can compile lists of those who have been generous enough to give the award and those who have received it, giving them recognition myself by some backlinks

There are two formats to choose from – the graphic or the button:

Sueblimely's Blogging Mentor Award

Sueblimely's Blogging Mentor Award

What prompted me to create the award was reading that January is National Mentoring Month.in the USA. This is an initiative spearheaded by the Harvard Mentoring Project of the Harvard School of Public Health, with the aim of recruiting volunteer mentors to help young people achieve their full potential. The US ‘Thank Your Mentor Day™’ is dedicated to thanking or honoring individuals who have guided us and had a lasting impact on our lives.

Although the Blogging Mentor award is not restricted for use in January’s Mentoring Month, ‘Thank your Mentor Day‘ may be a particularly good time to use it. The date for 2008 is 24th January.

There are so many ways I have been helped – people have offered advice and guidance, taught me how to do all sorts of blogging things, provided very welcome comments, replied to my comments on their blogs.

I would like to thank the following kind hearted people who have offered me help, support, praise and encouragement in my blogging venture. Thank you too for making me feel part of the blogging world, which was so important to me especially when I first started out. Please accept this Blogging Mentor Award – you can choose either of the above graphics
