Hello! Thank you for including me in your nominations. For a new blogger like me, that is very well appreciated. You made my day.
As I am new to all this, can you please let me know what to do about this? Do I attach the shine on picture, and nominate 15 other bloggers and also 7 things about myself?
Is this something that we ‘win’ or is the nomination a form of win already? 🙂
