“The Painted Life” Blog Award

A few weeks ago I asked for help from my readers in coming up with my very own blog award to offer to some of the special blogging people that I have come in contact with online.? I had some great responses with really creative ideas, but I could only choose one.

Here’s a list of some of the many great suggestions and ideas:

• This Blog makes me Smile
• The ROFL Award
• Addicted to You
• Creative Blog
• Must Read Blog
• Funny Bone Award
• Sunshine Award
• Mommylicious Award
• Makes My Day
• Blog is a Blessing
• Happy / Cheerful Blogger
• Helpful Hotspot

It really was a tough one, but I decided to go with the ideas of? BOTH Gen and Rebecca.

Gen said “You could name your award something like The Painted Life Award. And have the contestants send your an entry of how they would like to paint their lives.”

And Rebecca said “I really love the idea of tying your award into your personal pursuits (the things you blog about) so I kind of like something like a ?Mural Award? since it?s a huge part of what you do. You can present it to people who you feel create blogs with content full of ?dimension and life? – just like you describe how you feel about your own creations.”

So here it is everybody!? The Birth of Painter Mommy’s FIRST Award!!

This blog award is dedicated to those who live a colorful and creative life through the writings of their blogs.? Just like each careful stroke of an artist painting a masterpiece, they write and share from the heart – life, advice, tips, reviews, information and anything else that adds life and color to their blog.

Here are the award rules:

1.? Pass it on to as many blogs as you think might deserve this award

2.? List some ways that you show your colors and creativity on your blog.? Are you “real”?? Do you speak from the heart?? Do you have a passion for anything in particular?

3.? Link back to this post & come back here and add your post URL on Mr. Linky (below)
