Kreativ Blogger Award

Posted on 28. Sep, 2009 by Michelle in Networking

Back in mid July ‘09 I was flattered to receive a Kreativ Blogger Award from my good online friend, Simply Stephen, thank you again Stephen. It’s taken quite a few months to get back to awarding my own Kreativ Blogger awards but I’m glad to say this isn’t something I’ve hastily pulled together.

You might not have heard of the Kreativ Blogger Award before, I certainly hadn’t but since understanding it a bit more I think it’s a wonderful idea. Basically when your blog is the recipient of a Kreativ Blogger Award you in turn nominate seven blogs to whom you feel are deserving of an award too. Every individual gains different things from different blogs so it really is the individual choice of the person doing the nominations and what bloggers have inspired, helped or simply made a difference in their life some way. By nominating seven blogs it offers a way to give back to the bloggers themselves, thanking them formally for the work, insights etc that they’ve shared on their blog.

So what do you do exactly when you receive an award?
1. You should thank the person who kindly nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger Award.
2. Place a copy of the Kreativ Blogger Award logo onto your blog somewhere (pictured here in this post …no links required…).
3. Link back to the blog of the person who gave you the Kreativ Blogger Award.
4. Share seven interesting things about yourself on your blog.
5. Choose seven bloggers to nominate for the Kreativ Blogger Award.
6. Place links back to the seven blogs you decide to nominate.
7. And finally visit the seven blogs you nominated and post a comment to inform them that they’ve been nominated by you.

I found it quite easy to choose the bloggers I wanted to nominate, the more difficult part was choosing seven things that people might find interesting about me. Below I share those seven things followed by the seven bloggers I’m excited to nominate.

Seven Interesting Facts About Me
1. I’ve been a vegetarian for almost my entire life. I love animals and would find it impossible to eat one even if I was starving.
2. In my teens I taught myself how to wall and floor tile and became a ‘tradeswomen’. I tiled many new homes but gave it up to work in an office. I didn’t miss the the freezing early morning starts or lugging 30kg tubs of tile adhesive…(did I mention I’m just over 5 foot?)
3. For a couple of years in my early twenties I taught high impact aerobics, I now am paying the price by way of a very bad back.
4. I started my retail management cadet-ship with Kmart and became one of the youngest ever female appointed Store Managers. I never realised that 13 years down the track I would be the National Manager of a 33 million dollar a year business.
5. I have a severe phobia of birds and although I’ve had an unreasonable amount of birds attack me not really enough to rationally arrive at the level of fear I have of a sparrow for example! One day I’ll try hypnosis to at least enable me to eat at a sidewalk cafe without feeling sick at the site of the birds and having to leave.
6. My favourite colour is pink. So typical of a girl huh, but I really love it!
7. I can’t remember the last time I read a fiction book. I do read a lot but everything I read is non-fiction.

My Seven Kreativ Blogger Awards Go To
1. Annabel of Bella Bellas really is a Kreativ blogger sharing a lot of her wonderful creations she makes mostly for her children. It’s hard to browse through Annabel’s blog and not want to instantly rush over to her fabric store and order in some divine Japanese fabric to whip up into something special. I leave the sewing to Annabel though and simply love visiting her blog to see her latest creations.
2. Forest Parks of Real Blogging Tips is someone who shares his time and knowledge freely. Forest and I met in Josh Spaulding’s private coaching forum and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know him a little even though we’re miles apart geographically. Forest is quite simply an honest and caring blogger who shares plenty of great info on his blog, he’s also a graphic designer and I’ve seen loads of Kreativity in his work.
3. Gideon Shalwick of GideonShalwick.com has recently started sharing on his blog his expertise and knowledge around video creation. Gideon has been very Kreativ on his blog in many ways, not the least of which is the ability for his site visitors and himself to comment via video! Gideon really takes time and care to share every detail on how to be successful at video creation and marketing.
4. Josh Spaulding of Ez-Onlinemoney has been mentioned quite a few times on my blog but I cannot nominate seven bloggers here without acknowledging him again formally. Josh is a very unique individual in my opinion particularly when it comes to Internet marketing and helping others find success online. He has proven over and over again that he will say it how it is and keep you on the straight and narrow if you’ll listen. The one thing I admire most about Josh is how he will declare his views even when they’re against popular opinion, courage like that is to be revered.
5. Keller Hawthorne of Fresh eVenture started blogging early in 2009 and she has shared loads of great content in only a few short months! What inspires me most about Keller is her dedication to her blog and her readers and her willingness to share a lot about herself and her knowledge.
6. Mark Mason of Mason World is another blogger who I met through Josh Spaulding’s private coaching. Mark manages to balance a serious day job with his online businesses. Most recently Mark has been serving up some fantastic podcasts featuring interviews with successful Internet marketers. Mark is always willing to help out those in need and I have to say he has a great sense of humour too!
7. Yaro Starak of Entrepreneurs Journey is probably well known to a lot of my blog readers but again this is one blog that I always frequent and wanted to mention. Yaro shares so much of himself, his beliefs, his knowledge and you could spend days drinking up all the wonderful content and nuggets of gold he shares there.

Of course there are more blogs I frequent but I have stuck to the seven I spend the most time following and not only following their blogs but also chatting on Twitter, Facebook, Skype and in private forums. I hope you enjoy visiting my chosen seven and if you could take a few minutes to leave a comment whilst you’re over there that would be great, all bloggers love to hear what their visitors think.

Who would you award a Kreativ Blogger Award to?
