The votes are in and My Sardinian Life takes 1st place in the 2012 Canadian Blog Awards – in the category of Best Travel & Expat Blog – snaperiffic! It was a close one; so close in fact that there was only a 3 vote difference between 1st & 2nd places!

And now, on with the acceptance speech:
Firstly, I would like to thank Jonathan Kleiman who took copious amounts of time to organize this award for Canadian bloggers across the globe. Jonathan is a Toronto Business Lawyer and a Small Claims Lawyer and his side gig is organizing fantastic blogging awards. I wonder how he does it? If you need a lawyer, be sure to click Jonathan’s name above – and I’m sure he can sort you right on out. So, thank you Jonathan. I appreciate all the hard work you’ve done in the last year to make this award a reality.
I would also like to thank all of those that took time out to vote for My Sardinian Life – you helped make this award a reality and to you I am grateful.
Thanks to you!
- My number one fan – my Mom.
- Every family member that voted.
- My virtual friends from Sardinia - grazie per il vostro continuo supporto. Ho imparato molto da voi in questi ultimi anni sulla tua terra, il tuo mare e delle vostre tradizioni. Grazie. La Sardegna è la nostra da scoprire.
- My Italian Reflections group – if it weren’t for you lot I would have gone bonkers long ago!
- The Virtual Tourist crew.
- My Twitter followers.
- My first real life blogging buddy in Bagni – you showed me that anything is possible.
- All my Facebook fans & friends and to all the expats around the world, who are living their dream.

From the bottom of my heart – thank you!
Jennifer Avventura

I am still coughing in your dust!
: D CTB
Yes, and thank you kindly for the mention. There’s no dust – just virtual snow!
Ya what is that on word press do you see it too? Or have I been doing to many report cards and I just THINK I am seeing little white dots!
It drives me nuts! I’ve tried turning it off but it keeps coming back to haunt me.
It is annoying! They have changed a few things over at WP lately and I don’t like it
The window when you logged out is no longer Freshly Pressed, but that annoying slide show. At least now it has changed again and looks better. I still like Freshly Presed better though. Otherwise I never look up new blogs…
Congratulations…I’m going to have a “Mirto” to celebrate !!!!!!
Brava Jennifer!!! Maybe we`ll meet one day on our next holiday to Sardinia!!!
That would be great Lilly. Let me know when you’re here!
Excellent! Congratulations.
Yay! Congrats! Well deserved.
