Meagan @ A Barefoot Gal!

Congrats, Meagan! Come on up for your acceptance speech!

“Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me! (and if you didn’t, bah humbug. just kidding) I’m so thrilled to have won this award! Not quite sure how an acceptance speech should go, but I accept this award. XD Am I supposed to thank people? Ultimately thanks to God for blessing me in all the different ways that have let me blog, and I pray that my blog will always, somehow, bring glory to him! Also, thanks to my Mom for having me do a homeschool curriculum that had me start a blog, thanks to my sister Allison for being featured on WordPress and giving me like 300 followers overnight (xD BUT FOLLOWERS AREN’T THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. REMEMBER THAT.) and lending me her DSLR sometimes, thanks to my donkey – Eeyore – for being adorable.  Welp that was probably a weird acceptance speech BUT THANKS EVERYONE! DONKEYS ARE GREAT!” – Meagan

*applause* Thanks for the awesome speech, Meagan! Time to move on to the next category!

The winner of this blog award has a blog so amazing, you never would’ve known she just started it this year. Her photography is gorgeous, her writing is stunning, her posts are unique, and her name is…

Awesome job, Jo! Time for your acceptance speech!

“Wait, what?

I won?

I actually won an award?

Oh my word, I can’t believe it.

Thank you people for deciding I had the best new blog of 2018. I’m so shook right now. I can’t believe that a whole bunch of you thought I was good enough to be nominated for an award. Thank you so much to my parents, for letting me have a blog, to my brother and sister for inspiring me to start one,  to Gracie M, Clara, Rebekah, and Enni for encouraging me to keep going, to my bell pepper plant for being the source of my inspiration, to my laptop for not shutting down on me, to every single one of you who voted, to my fellow nominees, you deserve this more than I, and finally and most importantly to God for giving me the gift of blogging.

We have the amazing freedom of speech, of expression, and of marshmallows. Let’s use that freedom to build each other up and make someone smile this year!” – Jo

Carlye @ Silverfox Studios, with her AGSM ‘Game Night!’

Congratulations, Carlye! Come up to the stage for your acceptance speech! *hands her the mic*

“When I first started out doing stop-motions I had no idea how far I would go. I did it because I enjoyed it. Sure it may be embarrassing that my 6th-grade teacher subscribed to my channel and now teaches math in high school and inquires about it in front of everyone. But I don’t care. Do what you love and don’t let others mould you into another shape. If I let other peoples hate bring me down then I would never be here getting this award. Thank you to every one that believes in me! I’ll leave you with this, God put you where you are for a reason. Don’t try to change that.” – Carlye 

Awesome and inspiring speech! You deserve this! Time for the next award category, Best Photography!
