I’ll be honest, it’s a mystery why anyone would nominate my blog for an award. However, thanks must go once again to Dragon Warrior who only blogged for a couple of months over at The Den of Dreams. She very kindly nominated me for my second Mystery Blogger Award. I do hope her exams went well and, more importantly, a certain someone has replied to her message!
Then, a few days later Lydia gave me a third one! She blogs over at Lydia’s blog and, like me, loves cooking. The third of seven siblings, Lydia plays guitar and piano, helps in children’s ministries, and loves serving God.
This is allegedly, and I quote, “an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts whose blogs should captivate, inspire and motivate you.” Thankfully, it’s also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging – that’s much more me. This award was dreamt up by Okoto Enigma – what a fabulous name.
The Rules Of Engagement
Now there’s a whole list of rules I have to follow, here they are:-
1. Put the award logo/image on your blog
2. List the rules
3. Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog
4. Mention the creator of the award and provide a link to their post about the award
5. Tell your reader(s) 3 things about yourself that they may not already know
6. Nominate at least 10 other blogs for the award
7. Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog
8. Ask your nominees 5 questions of your choice which should include one weird or funny question
9. Share a link to your best post
10. Check you’ve fulfilled all of the requirements above – I have!
