Roll out the red carpet because I am about to mention some very loyal and generous bloggers.  People who don’t just blog but connect with others.  People that take the time to say hello to fellow their fellow bloggers.  I don’t do enough of this being a mom and a wife and a very anxious and high strung individual but those friends I have made are invaluable.  So I don’t deserve the Blog of the Year 2012 award but all the people I will mention in this blog….I believe…have very unique blogs and hold my interest not only because of what they write but because of their interaction with other bloggers.  They are committed bloggers not only to writing but to reading…so cheers to you.   If you choose to participate in this the rules follow this post!

I am doing this to highlight just a handful of those I love.  Those who nominated me for this award and who I would like to nominate back are: 

EdwardHotspur  Seriously the most clever blog on the Blogosphere.  He also posts amazing poetry on his Lyrical Anarchy site.  Look for our Romantical Duets that started the whole duet blogging craze. 🙂

TheRecliningGentleman      Very talented writer.  Lots of great stories.  I have done a few poetic duets with him and he talked me into joining a Fictional Relay and challenged me with a few other fictional stories.

ClarkKent   Highly inspiring and after going through so much he is truly someone who spreads the message of love!

Kalabalu   Hooked me with some highly creative comments.  Some amazing photos can be found here.

Ayaime  Some amazing poetry as well as other creative blogs.

RelationshipsInLife  Life from the perspective of a brilliant teenager.

SageDoyle  Love his poetry the best but his blog is full of other amazing treats.

iamforchange  Always lovely and inspiring.

once4always    Some beautiful poetry among other treasures.

transcendingbordersblog  I love her short and sweet poetry…really good stuff!

prettywitgla33es  A blogger I met through the Daily Prompts…worth a read!

theinnerwildkat.wordpress.com   A blog filled with positive energy and some great holiday music!

Other Bloggers who grabbed my attention either through poetic duets or great conversation I love to visit their site.  Most are full of amazing poetry and personal stories and a few are just highly different and creative. I value all of them…and many more!

Yes – that’s right – there are stars to collect!

When you begin you will receive the ‘1 star’ award – and every time you are given the award by another blog – you can add another star!

There are a total of 6 stars to collect.

Which means that you can check out your favorite blogs – and even if they have already been given the award by someone else – you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!
