One Lovely Blog Award x3

An enthusiastic GeniMate, Joan Miller of Luxegen from Calgary, Alberta was one of the first genies to be profiled on GeniMates. Joan has been an great supporter of this blog and has given me loads of encouragement via blog  and Facebook comments and tweets.

Joan has once again demonstrated her support by nominating GeniMates for the One Lovely Blog Award. I am thrilled to acceptthis award from one of my favourite genealogists. Thank you, Joan, for this gong and for your ongoing support of GeniMates.

The rules for accepting the award are:
* Accept the ward, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who granted the award and their blog link. 
* Pass the award on to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered.
* Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

One the last two occasions I received this award I said "It seems a bit like overkill to me to pass this award on to 15 blogs so I am just going to select a few that I follow and enjoy from my RSS Feeds." I now feel a bit guilty about this so I will nominate ten blogs this time to make a total of fifteen.

One Lovely Blog Award - x2

What a positive day it has been for Geniaus. Firstly I was awarded life membership of ASLA (NSW) and then, when I came home and read my blog comments, I found that I had been given the One Lovely Blog Award for the second time.

Thanks, Sharon Brennan, from The Tree of me for the nomination. I truly value your support.

As I have already accepted the award and nominated some blogs I am going to refer to that first post and reiterate my nominations from there.
