plus a BIG Thank You!
The Brilliance in Blogging Awards 2012
It has taken me some time to post this, but a chat with a good friend today helped me to make the decision. I had this post all ready to publish last week, when I heard that I had been short-listed for a BIB’s Award in the category of Tasty – for blogging about food, recipes and anything tasty from the kitchen. I was one of many blogs who were nominated and thanks to you, I made it to the final list of 20 blogs on that coveted short-list. What I wanted to say then, as I do now, is a really BIG THANK YOU to ALL of you who voted for and nominated me……….I am truly overwhelmed and extremely excited.
What does this award mean to me? Well, if I was lucky enough to win, it would be a fabulous privilege to be seen as one of the best in food blogging, it would mean, hopefully, that I have engaged with hundreds of people who like what I write and enjoy the recipes I develop and share on my blog; on a more personal note, it would be recognition of all that I have achieved in such a short time, and hopefully a sign that I have shared ideas, photos, food, ingredients and recipes that have delighted and titillated the taste buds! It would in short be an honour and an exciting step to the next level that I hope to achieve in food writing and blogging.

Thanks Dom, was very unsure about posting this blog post, but had a chat with a lovely mutual friend who said why not….I really just wanted to thank all those people who nominated me for the short-list!
Fantastic news – congratulations! I love your blog so I reckon you thoroughly deserve this. You definitely get my vote 🙂
THANKS so much….:-)
Big huge congrats, Karen! I had to pop over and vote immediately so I wouldn’t forget. I’ve never heard of this award but then I never really hear of any of them until I read about them on other people’s blog. I hope you win for Tasty because your blog is fantastic and always a pleasure to read…
THANKS so much, what a lovely thing to say…..many thanks JW! 🙂
Well, I’m voting for you on a meritocracy basis. And I really don’t see why you shouldn’t remind people to vote, so long as there’s no pressure to vote for YOU:)
Thanks Fiona! Although I have added a link for further voting, the main objective of this post was a thank you to all everyone who nominated me for the BIB’s Tasty ward!
I’ve voted for you for something, but can no longer remember what – may have been this, but will vote again just in case.
LOL! Thanks Choclette, only realised it is the last day to vote! 🙂
