I'VE WON! The Versatile Blogger Award

Versatile Blogger

I've been given the Versatile Blogger Award by Michelle of Grape Vine Ceramics Gifts, a great friend of the  Promotional Frenzy Team, which I have been a part of since December, 2010...

I think this award provides a great opportunity to pass along to other deserving bloggers who have worked hard to promote others, showcase their talent, write tutorials, give informative posts, and in general provide a daily dose of luxurious reading to all who go to their blog. For honoring me with such a great award, I say, "thank you Michelle!"

Since receiving my first "award," (a week ago) I have received 6 awards since - WOW!  Each award I received, the language and requirements changed a little.  So because of this, I have decided to change these requirements a little further to narrow down the "popularity" of the blogger award and make it something that was more "special" and "honorable" to get.  I'm not trying to demean anyone that received the award in the past, but on one award that I got, the person chose a blog who had 2 posts in 2010 and only 1 post this year...neither of which were information or informational.  So....I have taken my own liberties and changed this award.  To those that this may offend, I apologize...however, I feel that an award should be given to those who are deserving of it...not just those who have a blog!

MY NEW RULES:

1. Thank the person who awarded you and link back to them in your post. Same as previous
2. Tell 7 Random facts about yourself. Same as previous
3. Pass the award on to 3 of the TOP bloggers you have found worthy of this award.
4. Contact each blogger you want to pass the award on to and let them know you've done so, and let the giver of your award know you accept it. Same as previous

RANDOM Facts About Me

1. I am still a newly wed, only being married 17 months.

I have many friends with wonderful blogs.  But these three blogs just can not be beat.  Here are my top three loved and well respected blogs.  Each blog I have chosen for different reasons.  One for their intellectual and education value, One for their life application value, and one for their versatility.
