Thanks so much to Jill at http://jrule.wordpress.com for nominating my blog for its first ever award!!! Please check out her blog for some quirky and original posts which make for great reading.
As part of the conditions I, hereby, will display the award logo on my blog and link it back to my nominator. And I will gladly nominate 15 other bloggers and notify them of their nomination and of the award requirements.
The following have made me smile, think more deeply, spurred on my own writing or made me laugh out loud; and so, apart from Jill’s blog above, I would like to nominate the following deserving blogs:
