This post is long overdue, having been delayed by my laptop-less state. My amazing friend at theinnerwildkat presented me with the Blog of the Year award last month. It is such an honor to receive this award from a blogger such as you, I sincerely appreciate it!
What better way to begin the New Year than by presenting this awesome award to other deserving bloggers! I will start with the rules:
1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award
2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.
3 Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/ and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)
4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them
5 You can now also join our Facebook group – click ‘like’ on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience
6 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…
So without further ado, I would like to present this award to these inspiring blogs:
Crazy Train To Tinky Town - this is one of the first blogs I followed on here and I always return to it for entertaining stories of living in Turkey.
The Charmed Cupcake – for the deliciously scrumptious recipes that you make look so easy!
Ariel Price at One Little Library, a blog full of insightful reviews and opinion on books.
The woman who does it all – Sweet Jelly Bean for all the wonderful beauty advice, product reviews and giveaways – you are so inspiring.
My new pal Becky at Blogs-of-a-Bookaholic - I always find myself relating to your posts 
Thoughts and Life Lessons for your useful and insightful advice in terms of career and being a professional.
Each of these blogs are inspiring and unique in their own way. You all deserve a round of applause, so here is a virtual standing ovation for making your blogs awesome!
