I HAVE FAILED AS A BLOGGER *melts into a puddle of despair* I wish I had a really good reason that this post was late. But nope, I JUST FORGOT. *bangs head on the wall repeatedly* I was even really bored yesterday before night, and I totally could’ve finished this and…

Anyway, enough of me beating myself up for not posting this at the right time! I’m sorry to any inconvenience this might’ve caused you, and I hope everyone had an amazing New Year’s Eve!

Today is not only New Year’s Day, but it’s also something else. Today, I’m revealing the ten bloggers who were chosen by readers from around the country, including the 2019 Blog of the Year!

I think I’ve stalled enough. Let’s welcome our 2019 Emmie Awards winners and nominees to the stage! *applause*

MEGAN @ A BAREFOOT GAL!

Congrats Megan! *hands over flowers and a huge trophy* You totally deserved this award and I’m so happy for you! Your blog is incredible!

Let’s hand the mic over to Megan for her acceptance speech.

I’m so excited to have won this award! I really enjoy having a blog and getting to know other people through it and it’s pretty wonderful to know you all like reading my ramblings. It’s been a great almost six years blogging and I’ve learned a lot, mostly that you don’t have to be like the popular bloggers if you want to enjoy it. So there’s my challenge for you guys I guess – be yourself on your blog! Thanks again to everyone who has left a comment or read my posts over the years. Here’s to more years being a blogging barefoot gal! 🙂 (Also, Eeyore says thanks!)

-Megan B

Thank you so much, Megan! That was a wonderful speech. Now onto our next category, Best New Blog! This award is given to a blog that, despite just starting in 2019, has got it down! Their posts are professional and their blog design is stunning! Let’s give it up for the winner of Best New Blog…

DIAMOND @ I HAVE 12% OF A PLAN!

*Applause* Congratulations, Diamond! Come on up to accept your award! Your new blog is incredible and you definitely deserved this! Your posts are super creative and your design is amazing. Let’s hear Diamond’s acceptance speech!

Wow, thank you all for voting for me! I started IH12OP mainly just to document some thoughts and write posts that wouldn’t work as well on BABF. I wasn’t expecting to get such a following so quickly, and I certainly wasn’t expecting to be the Best New Blog of 2019! Thank you so much! I’m very honored.

-Diamond 

That was a great speech, Diamond! Now onto our next category: Best Blog Design. Let’s just get right to it, because…*bursts out laughing* The winner of Best Blog Design is….

JO @ PANANAW!!!

*Confetti flies* Congratulations Jo! You won the Blog of the Year Award!! I’m so happy and excited for you! *hands trophy over*

And now, for Jo’s speech! Unfortunately, we don’t have a speech from her this year, but here’s her inspiring speech from last year’s awards when she won Best New Blog.

”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

*wipes tears from eyes* Thank you so much for that speech last year, Jo! You totally deserved this award!

And that’s a wrap for the Emmie Awards 2019! I hope you all have a wonderful year in 2020. Here’s to new beginnings, new memories, new experiences. Here’s to 2020!

And remember, even if you didn’t win or get nominated for an award, I want to remind you that you are an incredible, amazing blogger, and that the Emmie Awards are meant as a fun way to discover new blogs. Congratulations to everyone!
