Sometime In July, writer Sue Ranscht of Space, Time and Raspberries nominated me for the Eclectic Blogger Award. She’s the creator of the serial fiction series, Elliot’s Adventures. I’ve enjoyed reading these stories and heartily recommend them to readers of this post.
Started by The Shameful Narcissist, the Eclectic Blogger Award
“…is presented to those blogs that are both eclectic and engaging, where conversation flows freely, where new and different ideas are always welcome. It’s to recognize blogs that always have interesting content to match the amazing, creative, and hard-working creators that make them possible. These are the blogs that inspire you to read, watch, play, and/or create content to further enhance not only the blogosphere but also the general zeitgeist, because they themselves enrich it with their existence.”
The Rules
- Nominate whomever and however many bloggers you want for the award.
- Share links from your blog for some of your favorite (or most eclectic!) posts.
- Laura’s addendum: I am including links to some of my favorite posts on these nominees’ blogs.
My Nominations
- Jennie Fitzkee of A Teacher’s Reflections. A life-long learner herself, Jennie encourages, engages and enables students both young and old to learn about this great big world we all share and call home.

Congrats on the nomination! 🙂
Thanks, Tierney!
BTW: love those tango stripes!
Thanks for the recommendations-always gold to discover other great blogs.
I meant always good-but gold seems rather apt!
Aha, I figured you being the poet, used a great word in choosing ‘gold’ over ‘good’. The creative mind never ceases to amaze me!
You’re welcome!
Congratulations Laura! What a wonderful award to be nominated for, and one you definitely deserve. 🙂 Your blog is amazing. xx And thank you so much for the nomination, and for sharing Dizzy’s little video. 🙂 We really appreciate it. xxx
Dizzy’s vid helps to spread greater awareness on a topic many haven’t a clue about.
Take care, dear one.
Adding some of your favorite posts from your nominees’ blogs is a beautiful reflection of your heart, Laura. I love that about you. <3
How sweet of you to say, Sue.
ps- wondering how Elliot’s faring lately?
Congrats
Nice post! Thanks for the recommendations
Thanks! You might be interested in Jennie’s posts on the making and traveling to exhibitions of her classroom’s Peace Quilt.
And I see that the rest of my comment didn’t go through. If it does, consider this a double. I mentioned that I’m glad you were nominated by Sue, who showed good taste in doing so. I’m grateful to have met you through your blog. I keep listening to “You Got To Run (Spirit of the Wind)” because of one of your posts.
‘Blush and Smile’ back atchya!
Oh, Laura! I’m grateful to be among such illustrious company. If it’s okay, I’ll just blush and smile here for now.
I guess I forgot to add that’s it’s a-okay to not ‘participate’. For myself, that’s a given!
