Kreativ Blogger Award

Until a few days ago, I had never heard of the Kreativ Blogger Award. Then I had two lovely blogger buddies award me with the award. Aww. Thanks, guys! (Despite my questions and internal debate below, I am honoured and flattered that you thought of my blog.)

But I was curious about this award. Who created it? Where did it come from? How long has it been around? Etc, etc. So, I did what I do when I get curious. I Googled.

What did Google tell me about the Kreativ Blogger Award (other than the fact that the award’s name makes my internal speller turn herself inside out)? Well, that others have gotten it too. And that’s about it. I found out very little in my three, 30 second searches, so I did what I do when I don’t get quick results. I gave up and went away to think about it.

So what is this award? I still don’t know. Who created it? I don’t know. Is there a headquarters? What are the criterion for awarding the little badge? I dunno. Can it be awarded to men? (It looks a little girly.) Will eight of my best friends be struck down if I don’t pass it on within seven days? I’m not really sure, but the award does sort of smell like a chain letter. (Part of the deal is that you share 7 facts about yourself and then award the badge to 7 blogs.) But you know how I really know that this thing must be a chain letter? Because all my blog buddies have already had it and I’m at a loss on who to send it on to. It happens to me every time.
