Well what a lovely surprise! I have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award not once, but twice!
Firstly I was nominated by my twitter friend and reader Ellie from Emerald Pie and secondly by the lovely Janice at Farmergirl Kitchen. Thank you so much to both of you.
I have been blogging for about nine months now and started off just using the blog as an online portfolio and scrapbook for my recipes and craft tutorials. For a little while I got caught up in worrying about stats, trying to post everyday and keep up with some of the top bloggers. It was beginning to feel like a second full time job. I have stepped back a little and just focussed on the blog as being a space for me to share my ideas and I am really enjoying it. Above all I am really happy to have met some lovely people that share the same interests as me in the webosphere.
