Last night on ‘The Twitter’, I discovered the Mindful Merchant made the shortlist in the Canadian Weblog Awards . Holy crap.
I was thrilled with the Ecology & Social Justice nomination. Today the news makes me walk around with a goofy smile and blurt out “Wow!” occasionally. I must be getting on my husband’s nerves because he says I am starting to sound like Sally Field. That cannot be good.
This is a juried competition, designed to highlight good Canadian weblogs. The judges choose the best three weblogs in each category and announce the winners on January 1st. Thank you to Schmutzie (founder of the CWA’s), Lynne Faubert and Cenobyte for organizing the awards.
Congratulations to all the other finalists. I am honoured be in a category with the following weblogs.
Ottawa has a vibrant blogging community and many are finalists. High fives to my fellow Ottawans.
- XUP
- Westsideaction
- Hello Ottawa
- Muddy Boots
- Coffee With Julie
- Relishing
- Spydergrrl on the web
- Greater Ottawa
- Phd in Parenting
