Rules:

Thank the blogger(s) for nominating you and give the link to their blog!
Write a post on your site, displaying the award, that describes why you started your blog.
Write 2 pieces of advice you have for new bloggers.
Nominate (and notify!) 15 more bloggers that are awesome.

Why I have started this blog?

The reason I start a blog is because I need an outlet to feed my creativity; something I passion about, which are art and design. I need to create something and share my creations to inspire. I love many forms of art, but I don’t think I can master it all in this short life and no way I can make it all happen in one blog, so I chose certain subjects to be in my blog, which are DIYs, Crafts, Arts, Designs, Decors, Interiors & Mini-Scale Architectures.

My advices are :

Write posts that will bring benefits to others
Do not just receive but also must give back

My Nominees are :

For more of my future Coastal Summer theme posts, please follow me! And if you wanted to add my creations to your Pinterest boards, please follow me on Pinterest! Also find me on Instagram and Twitter!

And for creative fellow bloggers, don’t forget to join “You’re The Star” Blog Hop ! Link your inspiring posts every Monday and get a change to be featured! Starting June 2019, I will be co-hosting the blog hop and would love to see you there! Join and share the news!

Blogger Recognition Award

Hello to all my lovely readers,

On Monday, I received a wonderful surprise from my lovely new blogger friend, Kaya. She nominated my blog for Blogger Recognition Award!!! It’s an honor and I was intensely ecstatic to receive the news. It’s a great feeling to be recognized by my work.

So, my special big thanks to Kaya for nominating me for this Blogger Recognition Award;

Her taste in life, her adventure and her style in beauty are all packed in her wonderful blog;

How I started my blog :

I had started to write my blog since February 2018, even though I’ve set up my blog since 2016, but I did not know that by setting up your blog, it is considered as a start. Pardon me for my incredibly low knowledge in blogging world. But as I have been learning by blogging, I continue to receive knowledge of blogging world from fellow bloggers and more internet reading; but still … I’m learning.

At first it was a bit hickups, but along the way, I found myself drowning into more creativity and inspiration, which I mostly inspired by fellow bloggers. And I get to be more consistent and more structured to the content of my monthly posts. So, wish me more luck for the future to get more recognized!

My two humble advice for blogging are :

Know what your strength and passion are to determine what your blog’s direction. Be consistent, be fruitful, be yourself, be creative, and be useful.
Share and support your followers and other fellow bloggers to be able to grow together. Be giving, be truthful and be friendly.

Here are my 15 fabulous WordPress Blogger nominees :

I want to nominate all my blogger friends but I’m afraid I can only mention 15 of them. All of you are fantastic bloggers with each of your specialty. Thanks for all of your lovely comments and supports!

So, thanks again Kaya, for recognizing me and made me recognized, much love to you!

See you all again!

Let your creativity recognized!
