I was totally delighted and indeed honoured to be nominated for the Blog of the Year Award by Woodland Matters, the blog of the Woodland Trust. What a lovely way to end the year (and a nice birthday present too!). Before I nominate some blogs in turn, here are the rules:
The “Blog of the Year” award is a little
different from some other awards, because you accumulate stars. Here are
the ‘rules’ for this award:
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… Yes – that’s right – there are stars to collect!
Unlike other awards which you can only add
to your blog once – this award is different! When you begin you will
receive the ‘1 star’ award – and every time you are given the award by
another blog – you can add another star! There are a total of 6 stars to
collect.
Which means that you can check out your
favourite blogs, and even if they have already been given the award by
someone else, then you can still bestow it on them again and help them
to reach the maximum 6 stars! For more information check the FAQ on The Thought Palette.

So, my nominations are:
for her delightful year long creative, bunny themed quilt project Michelle of The Raspberry Rabbits.
for Nature Notes and her environmental awareness and love of nature Michelle of Rambling Woods
for her daily short observations of nature Lucy of Out with Mol
and for environmental campaigns in the UK and as a thank you for giving me the award, Woodland Matters
and I'll end there, in fear that if I continue it will be a new year before I've listed all the blogs I've enjoyed in 2012 and there are very many of them!

Congratualtions!! and same to all those you've nominated.
Congratulations, your wonderful blog certainly deserves the honor!
Congrats, Juliet! You do have a wonderful blog!
Oh gosh, I wish it was still a daily blog, I try to keep it going, and this encourages me to do so. Your loyalty to it always pleases me, since it's a bit of a by-water but I'm still fond of it. Thanks so much, though I might not get around to doing all the award stuff!
Happy New Year to you, and thanks so much for your constant, industrious, always interesting work here and on your other sites. You really are a shining example!
Congratulations Juliet! you so deserve this as your blog is great to visit and thanks for all you share.
Happy birthday too and best wishes for 2013.
hugs
Carolyn

Oh my gosh Juliet! Thank you so very much for nominating me. As you can see I'm very tardy in my reply. Congratulations to you and a belated happy birthday too. You are such joy and light in this world. Your friendship is treasured.
