Passing Them On

I want to start off by saying a big “Thank you” to any new readers of this blog and also to all my old friends who drop by regularly. I have recently been given two awards and today I am simply passing them on.

I received this award from Sue who blogs at Crafty Susie. Thank you Sue. This award goes to selected bloggers who merit recognition and to honour those who regularly visit and leave a comment on your blog.

All you have to do is...

Proudly copy the Lobster Award logo above on your Blog and in turn feel inspired and encouraged to nominate others who visit and leave regular messages in your Comments Box.

The rules for  the nominations are simple:

1. Nominate someone who regularly visits your Blog and leaves a message in the Comments Box.

2. Tell them about their nomination.

I have chosen to pass this award on to Suze who writes at Analog Breakfast. Suze is a busy writer and I am honoured that she takes the time to read and comment on my posts.

Next I was given the Versatile Blogger Award by Suze (from Analog Breakfast. The rules are as follows:

1. Pass this award on to 15 bloggers.
2. Mention the award.
3. Link back to the source – I did that above.
4. Share seven bits of random autobiographical facts.
5. Pass on the rules.
6. Inform the 15 bloggers that they've been tagged.

OK. So here are seven random facts about me:

1. I love to read the newspaper lying down on a carpet.

2. My favourite book, from all the books I have ever read, is Frenchman’s Creek by Daphne du Maurier.

3. My absolute favourite song of all time is this one.

4. I think that if I could go back and take an alternative career, I would chose to become a travel writer as it would combine my love for travelling and writing.

5. I collect postcards.

6. Once upon a time (before I was married ) I used to read a book a week. Sadly, these days I barely have time for a book a month. It is something I really miss doing.

7. Despite the fact that my husband has explained the rules of the game to me several times, I still have not grasped the concept behind a baseball game.

So here are my nominees. I know that these awards require a certain degree of input and some of you may not be accepting awards, yet I would still like to acknowledge the following blogs and hope that you all find time to visit:

Amanda at Travels With Persephone.

Icy BC at Wandering Thought.

Jeanne at Collage of Life.

Gattina at Writer Cramps.

Sarah at Snippets of Thyme.

Leslie at Let A Joy Keep You.

Aubrey at Naturally Momma.

Sue at Crafty Susie.

Doreen at Doreen’s Creative Space.

Maureen at Daydream Living.

Kayni at Kayni’s Corner Café.

I know, that’s only 11 blogs but I am breaking the rules a bit. Shhh …

I wanted to let you all know that I may not be posting and commenting so much this week as I have a few things I need to catch up on and finalise. I will be around when I can. Enjoy the rest of the week. I will leave you with a pretty flower and I hope spring is  bringing plenty of colour and warm breezes to your part of the world.
