Awards Archives | The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen

I feel so special that I have met such wonderful foodies in this crazy online world of food blogging! A few months ago I was awarded the Versatile Blogger award. I was over the moon happy about it when I got it! Now I come home from work the other night and I find that not ONE but TWO of my new foodie friends have awarded me another great award!

The Liebster Blog award means “favorite Blog” in German. Now as you may remember I am 50% German Descent. So this is like UBER COOL for me!

I have to thank my good friends Stephanie at Eat Drink Love http://eat-drink-love.com/

and Choco Chip Uru at Go Bake Yourself http://gobakeyourself.wordpress.com/

They both lovingly sent this award my way. Please go check them out! They have great blogs!

So the Rules for this Award are:

1. Thank the person/persons that awarded you the blog and link to their blogs Done

2. Copy and Paste the Award Logo to your blog. It is your award!!! = ) Done

3. Send the Award to 5 Deserving Bloggers with 200 or less followers (since I got the award twice I am going to give it to 10 people. I think that is only fair)

4. Let your Blog owners know about the award via email or blog comments

I love all these blogs and I visit them all quite often! I hope that you will do the same!

I work as part of the management staff in a better end retail clothing store and I have crazy hours. So last night I came home from work gave a quick check to my email before I popped open a bottle of wine to unwind from the day. Well can you imagine my surprise when I saw that Alyssa from Mom De Cuisine gave me the nicest award?! Me a Versatile Blogger?! I was Over the Moon!!!! I am new to all this and it was just the boost I needed! I have daily conversations with an inanimate object, my computer, and how it won’t perform the way I want it. When in reality it is me who can’t make it perform!
So Alyssa at Mom De Cuisine Alyssa THANK YOU!
So the rules of this Award is to give you all 7 random facts about myself and to pass this award on to 15 deserving bloggers! How do I choose just 15 when you are all so amazing?!

On to my Seven Random Facts

1.) I am a huge Sci Fi Geek! I love ALL things Doctor Who! I have a secret desire to dress up as Rose and go to the next Comic Con.

5.) This may not be so random as this part of my blogs name, but I have an obsession with Plaid! It must be the Anglophile Preppy thing in me.
6.) The book that defines my life is The Official Preppy Handbook and True Prep by Lisa Birnbach. On the inside front cover there is a fill in the blank section that I was able to fill out as. X-Libris
