Not Your Average Award Name

If there was an award for the award with the best name…it would have to go to this award!

Seriously.

I’ve been lucky enough to have done a few of these awards in the five months I’ve been blogging and I’ve regularly written about how I love what they stand for, learning more about the person posting and how it’s a platform from sharing blogs you enjoy reading with your followers.

This award is very similar; has similar rules and nominations etc – but it has the best ย name ever! I’m smiling as I type this!

Thank you toย Teen Girl Meets Worldย ย for allowing me the honour of posting The Smiley Thumb Award on my blog. I’m still smiling EVERY time I look at it!

The rules are:

1. Display the award logo in your post – with a smile.

2. Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog – yep still smiling!

3. Tell us what makes you smile – aside from this award…

4. Nominate other bloggers for this award. How many is up to you – anyone who is worthy of a smile!

I post a weekly series called It’s The Little Things and it’s full of things that have made me smile that week. Check it out HERE.

I’m going to nominate EVERYONE. Because I believe everyone should have the opportunity to do this one and add the smiley thumb to their home page….and I’m still smiling!

Keep smiling ๐Ÿ™‚

Hubby put a smile on my face when he complimented me on my arm muscles (we were in the gym!)

And I also smiled when Sweta Ojha nominated me today for the Versatile Blogger award – how nice is that?
