Ali Isaac, Annual Bloggers Bash, awards, Geoffle, Hugh Roberts, Most Inspiring Blog, Sasha Black
A very special win for this blog is its recent 3rd place award in the first Annual Bloggers Bash, for most Informative Blog. A huge thank-you to everyone who voted for me. To be honest, I never expected to win – not when competing against such worthy opponents, whose blogs I greatly admire. So, it came as a shock.
The competition described The Most Informative Blog Award as one awarded to bloggers with the most informative posts. Maybe they constantly post about new and interesting topics you love. Or maybe they post about fascinating topics you knew nothing about. A blog you find yourself longing to read a because of their content.
I’m tickled pink that my blog meets such high criteria, and extremely grateful to all of you who made this distinction possible. I’m also grateful to Sacha Black, who organized this amazing event, and her invaluable helpers, Ali Isaac, Geoffle and Hugh Roberts.
The best thing about this whole bash, of course, was that I got to find out about a bunch of great bloggers. So, why not head over to Sacha’s page and meet some amazing bloggers?

The whole bash voting, with too many blog posts about it was confusing. Hard to keep up. I took notes & got it wrong in the end. I’d go with Norah’s comment – maybe you are inspirational with your information. Christine

I wish to get you to note;
In your standard reply to a lot of the comments, “Not sure I can take any credit, though, as it’s really thanks to everyone here who voted for me.”
Be aware: Were the content not, the vote would not have been, either.
Translation? Congrats on writing posts worthy of being voted the best! 😀
