Can one just sort-of accept an award? Not really follow all the rules that go along with it? Change the rules even? Maybe invite Kanye up on the stage to shake things up a little? I hope so.
All this to say I am touched that so many people have nominated my little blog for various awards and I want to say a great big thank you while at the same time break all the rules as they have become unwieldy, mostly due to my procrastination…
I thought I’d do something different and share a favourite post from each of the kind people who nominated me for various Versatile , Leibster and Kreative Blogger awards.
Just click on the names to see where you will travel… you might end up back in time…
