BRILLIANT…!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

My Make Do and Mend Year has made it on the shortlist of the BritMum‘s Brilliance in Blogging Awards in the Commentary category!

The Commentary category is for blogs that act as a “place to highlight causes, raising awareness and funds, and being a force for positive change. Their topics might be global, local or personal. Whatever their cause, these bloggers did more than their bit, and helped us get involved too.”

How cool is that?! I am incredibly honoured that enough people feel that this blog fits into that category, and have voted, to get it onto the shortlist. Thankyou so much if you voted 🙂

Now I have one more teeny, tiny favour to ask…

Could you vote for me again?

You just have to click on this link, and then hover on the bit that says Vote for the 2013 BiBs now.

(And then vote for me, obviously..)

And in other exciting news, I have been invited to speak at the TEDxBedford event that is happening in June. TEDx events are part of the bigger TED organisation which is devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Their tagline is “Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world”

The theme for the Bedford event is “Everyday Radicals”

and I am massively excited and humbled to be asked to speak (and a little bit scared too…!)
I am in esteemed company-the Speaker’s list is still being announced, but you can keep up to date and check out the other inspiring individuals who will be speaking here

What an exciting week! And it’s only Tuesday 🙂

Thankyou to each and every one of you for your support, and for reading, and commenting, and helping to Make It Better…
