THE VERSATILE BLOGGER

You ever have one of those stressful days, work mostly, and you just go "sigh, is it 5pm yet?"  Well I was having one of those until I opened my blog and found a ray of sunshine from all the way over in the UK.  I'm so excited, my first blog award from one of you!  A super generous, amazing cyberfriend across the pond, Dan at Frugal Living UK nominated me.  It was such an awesome thing to do and so totally unexpected.  Thank you Dan!

The rules are simple:

1) Thank the person who gave you the award
2) Link back to their blog
3) Add an image of the award on your blog in the sidebar if you can

3) Choose blogs/bloggers you enjoy and nominate them by listing their blog
and letting them know in one of their comments

4) List 7 random things about yourself

Sounds like fun, so here we go!

I figure the rules aren't set in stone, so I'm going to thank Dan again, and use his blog as one of mine on the list.

Frugal Living UK -  Just an all around nice guy, it comes across in every post.  It's fun watching his experience and having him share each step of the way and besides, he totally made my day today.

Annie's Kitchen Garden- * It's one of my favorite blogs, and I owe her a lot, she highlighted my blog last summer, and she even read it from beginning to end (should be an award just for that, those awkward early posts, ha) and that gained me a lot of new followers.  She's already received this award, but I'm giving her a shout out again.
*granny you're exempt from having to do it again, just wanted you to know you were appreciated


My Cozy Little Farmhouse -  Tonya, what can I say, I feel like I've made a friend even though we've never met.  She has a great blog, finds all sorts of cool stuff and writes some great blog posts.  Go visit her and say hi!


Sky Minded and Ever Growing - "Bee Girl" is one of my earliest followers, and already doing what we hope to be doing eventually.  She comes up with some awesome blog entries with lots of valuable info.  Oh and did I mention she's a talented artist?  She is!


Eco Footprint South Africa -  What a fascinating journey to follow.  They are doing the farmstead thing, in South Africa!  How fun it is to share in this happening in such a beautiful country.


Gingerbreads House - Or Ginny, as we all call her, always leaves me the sweetest and nicest comments.  She weaves, she gardens and she cooks the kind of food I want to go over and eat right now!


The Gardener of Eden -  Robin has been one of my biggest supporters as I do this crazy blogging, and she always has a nice word of support, advice, etc. to share in the comments section.  Thanks!!


Living My Half Baked Life - Last but certainly not least, my friend Kelly, who started her own blog to just document her life, whatever topics she wants to cover.  She's a friend I've known for a long time, and even though we've been separated by distance for more than a decade, I feel like she's still here.

Gosh, I look at this list and I don't want to have to list just a few!  Every single blog on the side bar of my page is important to me, that's why they are there.  It's not fair to just list a few.  Please visit everyone over there, they are all so well done and enjoyable.

Seven Things About Myself:

1) I'm an only child, no siblings at all.  I loved it growing up (not TOO spoiled) and I don't know any different but I secretly wish at times I did have a brother and/or sister.

2) When I was little, had dreams about being on the Titanic, but I didn't know what that was until I learned about it in school.


 3) I once did a TV commercial that aired in Houston enough times that I was recognized once.  I even got fan mail.  TWO pieces, LOL!


4) I've owned 8 cars in my life and my PT Cruiser was my favorite


5) Fascinated by tornadoes


6) Back in the 80's, while in college, I dressed like they did in Miami Vice
(shh, don't tell anyone, it was embarrassing enough)


7) Don't know how to swim.  I can get from side to side in a pool, but if you dropped me in a lake or ocean, I'd sink like a rock.
