I am amazed at the level of encouragement I get from all of you guys. And it is humbling to receive tremendous support from you all via emails, MyBlogLog messages, SU messages and IMs! Some of you have gone beyond my wildest imagination in bestowing upon me your love and support and for that I am grateful! So, without further ado, here is a list of awards I’ve received in the past few weeks… (I’m sure I forgot some and technorati reactions aren’t always accurate so if you remember giving me an award, please email me or let me know in the comments and I’ll update this post).
I was completely surprised by Bes’s mention from Reader Appreciation Project that I was one of the recipients of Readers First award! Although, honestly, I do not even remember when I wrote to him.. but then thats the beauty of interacting with your readers… you never know who is reading your blog! My heartfelt thanks to RAProject authors: Simonne, Ronald and of course Bes!

Kim is a great Award winning artist herself and runs Poeartica, a blog full of beautiful paintings and Laketrees where she creates quite a buzz with all of her contests where people have chances to win her esteemed paintings and portraits! I thank Kim for awarding me with Southern Cross Award

Other recipients included:
Lisa Mikey Jan Morriconei Hidyn Gems Kitty Deborah MaryAnn Anna Boyd Renny Pearl Colin Ev Santa Diane Sue Blog Elf Lynda Mihaela Captain Life cruiser Fruity Franco Nihal
Oh here is another award called
Blogging Star Award from KIM @ Laketrees

Other recipients included:
Bluepanjeet Renny and
Diane purplefrog
Thank you Kim!
Sir Colin from The free PC Security also awarded me the Community Blogger Award as well as Shibumi!
“The Community Blog Award celebrates people who reach out and makes the blogger community a better one. It also underlines the importance of a blogs readership community, one of the most rewarding parts about blogging. It’s the people that come back to comment, adding to the conversation, making you feel like someone is listening and interested.”
Shibumi - “Subtle and unobtrusive beauty” award for blogging elegance!
“Shibumi is a Japanese term which used in the following context is a noun. Its meaning refers to a ‘particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty” which can be applied to almost anything.”
The “shibumi” award was originally created by Hawk who maintains a nice blog!
Thank you so much Colin!

13Congrats and you are really the one who deserve every one of these awards Pearl.
Thanks for tagging me too. I’ve been looking for a way to collect and sow them and this post gave me some ideas - thanks.
It’s hard to find time though (as blogging is after all a hobby) and I’ve been traveling a lot in the past and will go to Brussels for the rest of the week. Hopefully next week

15Hey Pearl,
Many congratulations on your awards, you deserve each and every one and more
Apparently it’s bad SEO to have so many links, but……it hasn’t done me any harm and I’ve been regularly crawled by the ‘bots since my mass link post lol.
Great post and I know it takes a while to put it all together too…great stuff my friend
Take care and have a wonderful day,
Colin
