In case you don't know, The Liebster award, that you commented about at my blog, is actually a link request. Even-though a friend may pass it to you (tagging), I consider an award to be without requirements. In fact, I've found that these tagging "awards" can require a lot of time in which to participate. Some recipients don't follow the requirements, but take the banner and post it on their blog anyway.<br /><br />When I commit to something, I like to dot every i and cross every t. I was so excited when I got my first award like this, because I thought it was just that, an award. Because I am very particular about how I manage things, it was time-consuming for me. When I compiled my first award list, one of my recipients was confident enough to refuse the award, stating that she just did not have the time. I've decided to do the same, now that I understand what they really are.<br /><br />I enjoy linking with others of course, and want others to link with me, but I need to do that as my time allows, and one at a time. If I'm given an award strictly on merit or appreciation, I'll accept that. :) And those are the only kinds that I'll give from now one.
