Before I start to write anything, I just gotta say this… I love you guys! =D Thanks for reading, liking, commenting and spending a little of your precious time on my blog =) It means a lot. It’s very encouraging and it inspires me to look forward and take those huge strides towards wherever I’m going. Thank you all =)

I’ve received two awards from two very wonderful people. One is the long overdue ‘Versatile Blogger Award‘ given by Kerry. He awarded me this one right on new year’s eve =) was very excited then that I could start the new year on a very happy note. But then, I got lazy and blahh! =( I’m very sorry that I kept it for so long Kerry. Well anyway, you see, Kerry is an amazing photographer… I just can’t express how amazing his photographs are. You just gotta see it to believe it =) so here you go… this is Kerry’s Blog =)

And the next one is the ‘Very Inspiring Blogger Award‘ by Lazaro. This one award is very encouraging. I never thought my blog was even remotely inspiring?? Is it?? I have no idea. But then, when I received this award I just realized how appreciative and encouraging people can be =) And Lazaro, is one of those people. Very inspiring and encouraging… always. I really do appreciate it. Really. =) Lazaro is also a photographer with an eye for the extraordinary. Well, like I  said before… you just gotta see it to believe it =) So here is Lazaro’s blog.

Liebster Blog Award

How would you feel when you get appreciated for the little things you do?

I feel glad, loved and inspired to do more =)

So, I’ve been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by Samar at amoursamar. He is an illustrator and an extremely good one, so coming from him that means a lot =) I really appreciate it.

I’m a fairly new blogger – in terms of art and photography among other things. I’ve had my share of ups and downs blogging my life out, so I’m not really new to the art of blogging =) You might want to read my first post and the about me part, written somedays after the first, to know more about me and how volatile I am =) Anyway, this is my new beginning in many ways and I’m glad that it started out with a good note, at the end of the year and right before Christmas =) What a wonderful week it’s gonna be… *grin*
