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

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…

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!

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!

    Thank you!

  35. Congratulations everyone! I wish the best of luck in all your endeavors of 2013! Thank you for my second star! It’s a pleasure to be awarded within less than 3 months of being here. God bless!

  36. Hi. I received this award. I have just made my blog post but I haven’t awarded it to anyone because its no longer 2012……… so i was just wondering any thoughts on what i can do about that. it feels a bit weird awarding someone with this when it will say last year date. I don’t know, I want to pass it on though to some blogs I love. suggestions welcoming. xxx

    • Hi – well it’s up to you really – the award is still being passed on by a lot of blogs and I am still accepting new members on the Facebook group – the 2013 award will not be launched until November as I don’t think you can be a ‘blog of the year 2013′ when it is only the start of the year … but lots of people still want to catch up on their posts from 2012 … so it is still there if you want to award it!

  38. I want to nominate Deborah Palumbo’s blog, http://www.deborahpalumbotheundeparted.blogspot.com and Ann Snizek at http://www.annsnizekauthor.blogspot.com. Good luck to all!

  39. I’d also like to nominate:
    Teodora Kostova: http://www.theodorakostova.blogspot.com
    Dorothy Dryer: http://www.we-do-write.blogspot.com
    Karen Smith: http://www.broad-mindedbooks.blogspot.com
    Elodie Parks: http://www.elodieparks.blogspot.com
    Tessa Stokes: http://www.the-ruthin-trilogy.blogspot.com
    Destiny Blaine: http://www.romancingthejock.com
    Olga Nunez Mirck: http://www.olganm.wordpress.com
    Mae Clair: http://www.maeclair.net
    Bertena Varney: bertena-varney.webs.com

  40. What a terrific idea.

    I’ve nominated Olga Nunez Miret, at:

    http://www.olganm.com/Home.php

    I don’t care much for blogs where I can’t connect with the author. Olga is different. Although she’s an educated, very accomplished woman, her blog is done is an easy, conversational style. Reading her is like having a cup of coffee at her kitchen table.

    By the way – her easy, conversational style is done in two languages. Tough to top that.
