It’s nice to know that other bloggers are finding and reading my new blog, and it was a particularly sweet surprise that greeted me this morning. Clumsyfool, who blogs at clumsyfool.wordpress.com nominated me for the Super Sweet Blogging Award.
I love the concept – answer a few questions about yummy sweet stuff, and then nominate your favourite bloggers. This helps to foster a sense of community, and bloggers are great for doing that. It’s also great for SEO backlinks for both the nominator and nominee, and if we can all help each other’s blogs to be found, even better!
There’s a couple of rules with this Award:
1. Thank the Super Sweet Blogger that nominated them
2. Answer five super sweet questions
3. Include the Super Sweet Blogging award image in your blog post
4. Nominate a baker’s dozen (12) other bloggers
5. Notify your nominees on their blog (I’m taking a bit of liberty on blogs where there isn’t an appropriate space to comment on their blogs…)
The 5 sweet questions:
Cookies or Cake?
Hmm….hard pressed to decide here. Let’s go with cake. Cheesecake.
Chocolate or Vanilla?
Chocolate. Without question.
Favourite sweet treat?
Can I only list one? Ok. If it has to be one, I choose liquorice bullets. Soooo good!
When do you crave sweet things the most?
Pretty often. I have a sweet tooth.
Sweet Nick Name?
Boofy is probably my earliest sweet nick name. Given to me by my Dad.
