A few days ago, Journeyman1977 awarded me my second star for the Blogger Award 2012.
Journeyman1977 Blogs from Sri Lanka, and is making his way through a painful and horrifying predicament. His struggles are full of insight into human nature, and I absolutely know without a doubt his story is the stuff movies are made from. Honest and raw, you should have a look at his website.
The ‘rules’ for this award are simple:
1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award
2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.
3 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!)
4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them
5 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
6 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…
I’m going to break with the rules just a tiny bit here. I’m going to list many blogs, so I’m not going to tell about them. Your christmas gift is opening them to discover the delights inside. Each one is unique and worthy. Happy reading!

Sorry, I forgot to thanks you for the nomination. So kind of you to think of me, But I have 11 stars already, so won’t be greedy. 😀
I just didn’t want to leave any of these fine blogs out. 🙂 I think there should be a way to forward them to the 2013, don’t you? 🙂
Maybe there’ll be another award for 2013. 🙂
I read they will continue in 2013!
Thank you that’s makes three stars for me! Congratulations!

🙂 [I’ll be feeling guilty now!]
🙂
Don’t! You have a fantastic website, and your art it amazing! Do you ever get artists’ block? 🙂
….I don’t think so but there is a reason: if a stop seeing [painting], I start hearing [writing music]… so I cheat a little!!!!
I am so so flattered my dear!
…blushing!
🙂
So you write music as well? I’m sure it’s wonderful…
Thank you Arnel! What a lovely thing to open up today.
You are welcome. Isn’t it weird to think we were talking, just that day and had no idea that was going on. So tragic. Hope you are feeling better.
Yea . . . right after we hung up my husband told me about the shooting. I wanted to call you back to tell you about it.
I was late as it was–I missed their relay! :-(. But they were glad because they said they did terrible. But I actually arrived at 4:30 on the nose, which is what my plan was, but they moved the relay time up. Oh well.
Rats.
Haven’t gotten there yet…
Congratulations….Diane
