Two more stars

I have given me two more stars for my blog of the year award – !  Thank you to The Retiring Sort – she has started an interesting series on Future Challenge which is worth checking out.  And more thanks, again, to Arnel at All Things Boys – I’m never sure what I’m going to find over at her site – she offers a wonderful eclectic mix of excellent photography, humour and insight.

Now I am to:
1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award, andwrite a post about them  – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.

These are the newest additions to my own blog roll –

JJ at JunsJazz Images and Inspiration who, along with excellent photographs, hosts “an online portal” for learning the many aspects of photography, following a path I am interested in of the photographer’s vision and the art of seeing.

Walter Smith’s header alone at New Digital Scapes is enough reason to click over and visit – I love that header, Walter.

Maya at Grey Wolf Photo offers stunning photographs on all subjects – and does amazing photo restorations as well.

Bella Remy over at Hoofbeats and Footprints his showing her world both on foot and by horseback

2 Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’   Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/   and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)

3 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them

4 You can now also join our Facebook group – click ‘like’ on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience

5 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…

Yes – that’s right – there are stars to collect!

Unlike other awards which you can only add to your blog once – this award is different!

When you begin you will receive the ‘1 star’ award – and every time you are given the award by another blog – you can add another star! – available at the link in bullet #3.

There are a total of 6 stars to collect.

Which means that you can check out your favourite blogs – and even if they have already been given the award by someone else – you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!
