Blogger Recognition Award and My Favourite Blogs

23/7/2017

7 Comments

 
Ooo very excited to say that I have been nominated twice for a 'Bloggers Recognition Award' and have finally got around to posting about it, thank you so much for my nominations Linda over at Linda Memphis Kinda Life and Karla Mae at The Wise Lark (karlacruzado.com), who had this lovely comment to say about my blog:
​"I nominate Kerry because I love the layout of her blog and I love that she blogs about planning and journaling, my favorite things in the world!
I was able to interact with her and I feel like she's a very creative person."

It's now my turn to spread the appreciation and nominate others.

But first, what is the blogger recognition about anyway?
It’s not an ‘’actual’ award but, it is fun to do among bloggers. We get to be appreciated and we get to show our appreciation to others too! It's a great way to connect!

There are a few rules to follow when accepting this award:
You must thank the blogger who nominated him/her and to provide a link to their blog.
You must write a post to show the award.
You must write a brief story on how his/her blog started.
You must give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
You must select 15 bloggers to pass this award to.
You must comment on each of their blogs to let them know they have been nominated for this award and provide a link to this post.

How my blog started
My blog started in September 2016. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about this as I have already posted about it and you can read this here. Here We Go Again.

Advice to other bloggers - Keeping plugging your blog and don't give up.
My number one advice is don't give up.  It may feel at times that no one is reading, but that just requires a little work on your part. Pinterest is your greatest blogging friend. I get up to 200 visitors a day from Pinterest, but it does mean you have to put in the effort yourself getting on group boards and sharing daily.  I will be posting a blog post on this at a later date, so keep your eyes peeled. There was a time only a few months where I had on average 18 visitors a day, this now averages 150-200 just in two months. Write great content and stay consistent and you WILL get the readers. Blogging is a great way of making new friends, I have so many new friends in both the UK and Internationally as a direct result of my blog and You Tube channel.

So, without further delay, here are my nominees of the Blogger Recognition Award...

The 15 Nominees (in no particular order)

  1. The Stationery Geekette  - Emma's mix of planners, book reviews and home of the book and wax melt boxes. A great writer.

  2. The Yorkshire Pudding - Jo-Elles lovely blog featuring planners, lifestyle and home organisation (some fantastic printables).

  3. Ugly Bug Plans - Michelle Mill's fantastic blog about planners, paper crafts and mixed media, she has a great You Tube Channel too.

  4. ClaireabelleMakes​ - Claires gorgeous blog about all things crafty.  Beautiful images and makes.

  5. Zook Paper Co - Zulmas planner and creative blog, one of my good US friends.

  6. Stephanie Haze.com - A new blog from a great talent and a lovely friend.

  7. The Creative Minimalist - Darren's eclectic and punk style blog about life, music, paper, planning and Travelers Notebook journaling and writing.

  8. ​Plush Possum Studio - Rose has become a good online friend over on Google+ - she has a great collection of ephemera.

  9. ​Mrs Brimbles - Goes without saying a god in the planner and arty world.

  10. ​The Scrapbook Girl - Kelly Vizma's lovely and very creative blog about paper, scrapbooks, creative and bullet journaling and planning.

  11. Organized Potato - Jackie has become another great US online friend.  Check out her amazing freebie planner printables.
