I am chuffed to have been kindly nominated in the Arts and Culture Category of Blog Awards Ireland 2014 and my nomination badge is proudly displayed!
The Long List in this category includes many of my favourite blogs, so I will be delighted for all those making the Short List.
Good luck to everyone in all categories!
A SILVER VOICE FROM IRELAND 
Good luck to you! I love your blog!
Thank you so very much- and thank you for being a faithful follower! I am already a winner!
That’s great news! I just started following and am happy to hear about your nomination.
Thank you very much and thank you so much for following. I hope you enjoy!
Can’t wait for the voting to start…<3
Well Chris, the opposition is very strong, so I am glad to be here on this list !
Very well done and fingers crossed for the short list. I was on the long list for the first time last year but made it no further.
Thank you very much. I have been baffled by the excellent blogs that do NOT make the short list! I am in excellent company on the long list, and feel I do not hold a candle to many of them!
Congratulations, well deserved 🙂
Thank you so much! I was delighted to see you in the list yourself!
Congratulations Angela…we’re all in the support team…go Angela,
Thank you cassmob…:)
Well done SV. However I was a judge last year and I suggest you don’t take success or failure too seriously. The process is badly flawed and I passed on my observations without response. Maybe they’ve improved it now.
Thanks for this Roy. I do take on board what you say. I was longlisted and a few years ago too but also nominated a few blogs. I was astounded to see the ultimate winners in those categories. I write my blog for fun above all, usually about things that make me go ‘Wow’. It is nice to acknowledge the person/s who took the time and effort to put in a nomination. The big win for me is that someone did that !
Good luck to you, SV. Your blog is one of my absolute must reads and is an absolute delight in terms of content, passion and background research.
How wonderful, and well deserved! Good luck in the process!
Thank you so much KerryCan!
