Award Time
July 31st, 2008 by Simone
Barbara of Mainely Stitching bestowed the Brilliante Weblog award on the Daisies. She is an expat from Maine who has settled in the Netherlands with her family. Go visit her site and check out her awesome cross-stitch work and interesting kid-friendly craft ideas.
The acceptance of this award is contingent on some requirements. You have to:
1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Add links to those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message for your nominees on their blog
And here are my nominees:

Alan and Wendi of Gratz Industries are the authors of a blog that covers topics as diverse as a Project Runway Barbie design competition, comic books, craft tutorials, and solstice projects.
blazedanielle.wordpress.com
Blaze Danielle is “a Tree Climber, Dress Wearer, Tea Drinker, Berry Picker, Story Teller, Flower Presser, Picture Taker, Porch Swinger, Seed Planter, Puddle Jumper, and Art Maker. She loves windowsills, swimming holes, and old maps. You will most always find her picnicking on a grassy knoll.” Her blog filled with her beautiful illustrations is as serene as her description.
www.ihanna.nu/blog
Hanna from Sweden maintains a wonderful blog full of creative ideas and interesting observations. Most recently she’s been hard at work helping her friend organize her wedding complete with cake, favors, decorations, and wedding photography.
myzoebug.blogspot.com

Bobbi-lee of Tom and Jasmine is one of my favorite new bloggers. An illustrator and graphic designer, she recently submitted a wonderful story booklet tutorial to Crafty Daisies. Visit her blog for free, beautiful scrapbook papers, interesting craft projects, and links to fun projects.
whatthehay.wordpress.com
What the Hay is a blog by a self-proclaimed “small town farm kid living in the bigger noisier” world. While this blog has recently been on hiatus (life does tend to take over sometimes), I’ve been informed that new postings will be up in the next weeks. Until then do check out past projects and tutorials such as the Altoid Box Needle Holder, and the environmentally friendly rag sponge.
Now, what I would really like to know is who originated this particular award in the first place. Any ideas?

Hi Simone, Kati from Germany here…
I don´t know exactly where this award was originated but it was popular some weeks ago over here in Germany.
From the words “premio” and “brilliante” i guess the origin of the award could be in Italy/Europe?
I´m a silent reader of your blog and enjoy reading it a lot!
Best wishes,
Kati

I have seen a rash of these on blogs I read lately. Unfortunately, they aren’t as prestigious as some would assume. Information about the Brillante Weblog ‘award’ can be found here:

That said, it’s good to see that there are so many wonderful blogs out there. I absolutely love reading your blog and have done for some time.

Hi and thanks for the award and your kind words, your blog is on my link love-list and I’m so happy that I inspire you too as you inspire me! OH, and the wedding thing wasn’t hard work, I only did a little and run around taking photos of everything having fun!
Take care!

Hi
Congratulations on your award.
As far as am concerned its the thought that matters and the value is in the recognition from your peers.. So prestigious or not that another blogger has determined your creativity worthy of mentioning via an award( Prestigious or not) is enough to celebrate.
Congratulations again… and cool blog by the way

Thank you for the link to my blog and your VERY kind words
but I don’t remember giving this award … in fact, every time it’s been given to me, I’ve politely declined to name any blogs as other “winners” because I enjoy ALL the blogs I read (including Crafty Daisies) so very, very much.
