Award Season

It's Award Season. You knew that, right? Well guess what? Jenn (amazing writer) over at Something Clever 2.0 gave me The Liebster Award. I have to confess a  dark secret...I've been given this award before. *gasp*
 
It seems like only yesterday...or last year.

I remember the tweet that said I was "nominated" for the award. My first thought was, "Well, if it's a contest I'm screwed." Then I read the post and found out that the nomination WAS the award. Ok. I was feeling a little better. Since then, I've received a few other blog awards. 

The thing about these awards though, is that there are usually several tasks the recipients must complete. I know some bloggers sort of dis the award scene and think of them as just another obligation. But I think the purpose of these awards is completely awesome AND it's a great way to meet new bloggers. Plus, it's really nice when people say, "Hey Lucy, I think your blog doesn't suck." And that makes me happy.

The purpose of blog awards is to acknowledge other bloggers we respect and get to know new bloggers better. I think. I do love to check out the other blogs that were given the awards. That's probably how I met YOU.

It's nice, don't you think?

 

 

 

So I say thank you to Jenn at Something Clever 2.0 and congratulations to the award winners to come.
