Yes,it’s true. I found out earlier in the week that I am one of the lucky finalists for the MAD blog awards 2011 and I am genuinely thrilled to bits. I know that every finalist has been saying this but,believe me,it’s absolutely true in all of our cases. Blogging can at times feel a lonely slightly odd thing to do,especially in the early days,so it’s a wonderful accolade to have got through to this final stage.
Scribbling Mum is finalist for 2 categories,MAD Blogger of the Year and Most MAD Family Life Blog.
The 1st is panel judged so there is nothing that I can do but sit back and hope that they love my highbrow posts on facial hair,housework and the contents of my fridge.
The 2nd is a voted for by all of you guys. So if you have a minute then please feel free to do so,you’ll find Scribbling Mum in the first drop down menu for Best MAD blog about Family Life here.
I could very easily go all gushy and beg you to vote for me,tell all your friends,offer bribes etc but I’ll just thank you if you do manage to vote. More importantly I thank you for reading my scribbles,I love writing them more than ever and feel a renewed vigour since being nominated.
Enough on that.
Did you notice anything different? I still look the same but a little more polished? My gorgeous birdie is still here so you know you’re in the right place,it’s just had a tidy up. Big thank you to the talented Liz at Violet Posy for waving her magic blog design wand.
