I’m so honored that One Picture A Million Words nominated my blog for the Blog on Fire Award! Thank you so much! A funny story, at least funny to me, but I thought this was spam when I first received notification! I hadn’t heard of the award…there are so many blog awards out there…and I just immediately assumed it was some spam and didn’t pay much attention to it. I get some pretty crazy spam comments so I’ve started assuming something is spam first! Terrible, huh? So imagine my surprise when I saw it was real!
I actually don’t read other blogs very often. It’s not that I don’t like to read them but quite the opposite actually. I can spend hours looking at other blogs. And then I start doubting my own blog and think about all the changes I want to make but am not sure where to start. I know nothing about html coding, for starters, my photography needs so much work, and I need to start developing more of my own recipes. I start thinking mine doesn’t even deserve to be up there when there are so many other great blogs out there. And is anyone even reading my blog? Why would they read it if they have so many other choices! I’m sure many bloggers feel that way. It’s a tough, yet awesome, bloggerverse out there! And I’m proud to be part of it!
Thanks to all my followers for reading and supporting me! You Rock!

Thank you! I am so glad you enjoy my blog.
Thanks so much for nominating my blog, Tara! I’ll be sure to past it on. 😀 Ah, I want to move to the Pacific Northwest as well. It’s been a dream of mine for a looong time. I hope you get to some day!
Thank you so much for nominating my blog for this award! I’ll be happy to do this and pass the torch as well. 🙂
I’m flattered, thank you for recognizing my blog and congratulations on your own nomination as well! How do I nominate other blogs (aside from mentioning them in my post)?
You just tell them like I told you 🙂 I don’t think it is anything official, just a nice way to get recognition!
Oh okay thank you again!
Thank you so much! Love your blog 🙂
Congratulations on your award 🙂
