This is a quick festive blog post to say thank you all so much for your continuing support in 2013 – for taking time to read or comment on the blog, for feedback when I ask and for moral support when I don’t.
I wouldn’t be able to be as productive, focused or happy without you and I really appreciate your friendship. We all know writing is a solitary affair, and I think it’s as important as ever to maintain a friendly, supportive and inclusive environment. Thank you for the part you play.
Happy Christmas to you all and see you back here – refreshed, renewed & full of cheer – in 2014!

Hi Elizabeth,
I quietly follow your blog and I’ve nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award.
Here are the Liebster Blog Award rules:
1. Link back to the blogger who presented the award to you (that’s my site).
2. Answer the questions posted for you in my blog.
3. Copy and paste the blog award on your blog.
4. Present the Liebster Blog Award to three blogs with 200 followers or less who you feel deserve to be noticed.
5. Let them know they have been chosen by leaving a comment on their blog.
It’s okay if you choose not to participate, but you still need to know I really enjoy your blog and look forward to my email reminders. Happy New Year!
