The Lemonade Award!

Von Kokopelli am 27. Januar 2009. Abgelegt in Awards

Vielen Dank An Pearl von The Beading Gem’s Journal für diesen Award! Mein erster!

Zuerst war ich ja nicht begeistert von dieser Award-Idee. Das hat für mich sowas von Kettenbrief und Schneeball-System und diese Begriffe sind für mich eher negativ belegt. Nun ja, jetzt habe ich von Pearl den ersten Blog-Award bekommen, den ,,Lemonade Award for attitude and gratitude” und zwar für meine ,,Can-Do-Einstellung” und meinen zweisprachigen Blog. Ich wußte gar nicht, daß ich dadurch nebenbei Sprachunterricht gebe. Ich fühle mich schon ein bißchen geehrt, daß ich einen Award bekommen habe und ich hoffe, daß sich dadurch meine Leserschaft noch ein bißchen vergrößert. Und ich würde mich freuen, wenn diese Blog Awards vor allem dazu beitragen, daß sich kreative Blogs und Leute rund um die Welt besser vernetzen können. Es gibt noch so viel zu entdecken! Meine Nominierungen seht ihr am Ende des Posts (der Einfachheit halber nur in Englisch).

Hier sind die Regeln für den Award:

1. Setze das Logo auf Deinen Blog oder veröffentliche es in einem Post.

2. Nominiere Blogs, die eine positive Einstellung vermitteln (Attitude/Gratitude läßt sich schwer übersetzen.).

3. Laß den Blogger wissen, daß er einen Award bekommen hat, indem Du einen Kommentar auf seinem Blog hinterläßt.

Thank you very much, Pearl, for giving me this award! My first one!

First I wasn’t very amused about this award thing. Things like chain letters and pyramid systems came to my mind and they have very negative connotations for me. And now I received my first blog award from Pearl, the Lemonade Award, which is given for attitude and gratitude. I got this award for my can-do attitude and my bilingual blog. But I didn’t know that I teach language courses with my blog. I am honored that I got an award and I hope that my readership will grow a bit more. And I’d be glad if these blog awards would help to connect creative blogs and people around the world. There is still so much to discover!

Here are the rules for the award:

1.Put the logo on your blog or post

2.Nominate blogs that show great Gratitude and/or Attitude and link to your post.

3. Let them know they have received this award by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here are my nominated blogs:

Voice from Jamaica: Lady Roots just makes me smile and feel better when I read her blog, as she has a positive attitude and gratitude in life. Besides that her beautiful beaded creations are so inspiring!

Clay Perry: Besides being a very talented carver and a father of two, his stories from life leave me thoughtful, smiling, laughing, sad, furious…….just full of emotions. Thanks for sharing them with us!

Jonara Blu Maui: Besides being am mom and a wife she makes beautiful jewelry with an island touch. Like me, she finds therapy in beading and other types of artistic endeavors and is forever wishing she had more time to try new crafty things. I can feel your pain.

Unikatissima: A great source for people searching for crafting instructions. Susann posts many links for instructions, she collected during her crafting career and now wants to share them with others. The blog is, like mine, available in German and English (just check the right upper corner for a change of languages).

Bangles & Beads: Jean is a mixed-media artist living in NJ. She tries to do something art-related each day and designs great jewelry. Her “hearty” designs for Valentine’s Day are so cute!
