Thank you Marjma2014 from Kyrosmagica for nominating me for this award.
Her blog is all about books, magic writing and fun in general. If you are a writer yourself or want some info about the whole process you will definitely find something there you might need. There are tons of articles about tips for writing and a lot more so check it out.
I am honored for receiving this award as I basically only picked up blogging in order to write down the crazy stories of my mother-in-law and the rest of the family. I am doing this already now for over two years and still don’t feel bored with it so I hope to give you more funny stories in the upcoming years!
At his spot I planned to link to the creator of this award however the page seems not to be exisiting anymore 😮

Update: Raymond (the creator of the award) gave me the proper link. The old one didn’t work anymore as he had moved to a self-hosted blog:

Crazy Chinese Family 
Congratulations, Crazy! An award for you, well deserved. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your Chinese family, MIL and vacations for these past two years. Always entertaining and you write very humorously.
Thank you for thinking of me and the nomination. I am very humbled. Also, I’ve never heard of Marjma2014’s blog before. Briefly went there and I love what I see (magic and all…). Thanks for that 🙂
Thank you for reading my blog already for a such long time!
I stumbled on Marjma2014 blog few months ago, I think after she commented once on my blog (I do always check out the blogs of other people and try to follow them when I like the topics) 🙂
I can’t believe it’s been two years already. Keep up the posts, maybe you have a talent for comedy 😛 And thank you for always coming over mine for a read.
Congratulations, well earned 🙂
I love reading the stories about MIL and hope that you don’t stop
I think MIL will never stop so I have still material for a very long time 🙂
Congratulations Timo!
Congrats, Timo! I love reading all about your crazy MIL adventures, your family adventures, and it is so awesome to watch Nathan grow through your blog.
And thanks for the nomination!! 🙂 I am honored and humbled that you thought of me! 🙂
Thank you so much for reading this blog for such a long time 🙂
Congratulations to you!
Thank you for linking back. I am sorry for the broken link as I have moved to my own self-hosted blog. You can still find the info here http://axelthekey.com/about-disclaimer/blogger-award/
Thank you. I will change it as soon as I have a real keyboard in my hands, don’t trust myself doing anything proper with a tablet 🙂
Sounds good 🙂
Congratulations! I’ve decided to keep my blog awards free, but I love the name of the award you received! So much cooler than “Versatile blogger” etc:)
Yeah, I think this award is pretty new as I had never heard about it before 🙂
Congrats, Timo! And thanks for the nomination! 😉
