A Blog Nod

In my head I had a totally different blog post written for today than what I am about to share with you. What is in my head can wait, it is much less exciting!!!

I have a new friend out in the blogging world, Courtney at Nose In A Book that you MUST check out. She follows through on talking about the books she reads (something I aspire to do!).

Anyway, last night as I was crawling into bed, Courtney posted on my blog that she nominated me for a Sunshine Award. Oh how I needed that yesterday and today. I needed some Sunshine and it is soooo awesome that a new friend has sent it my way.

SO now that I have the pretty award, here are some rules of the award... 

1. Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog.
2. Answer 10 questions about yourself.
3. Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers.
4. Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated.
5. Share the love and link the person who nominated you.

1.   Favorite Color? Turquoise always. Although this orange and green that is out now, I am loving.

2.   Favorite Animal? Dog- Ella Mae is the one and only

3.   Favorite Number?  2 

4.   Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink?  Dr. Pepper (how original on this answer right?) 

5.   Prefer Facebook or Twitter? Both for different reasons. I am also addicted to Pinterest!

6.   My passion?  I am trying to figure this one out. I feel as if I am missing something in life but not sure what. How do you find your passion?

7.   Prefer getting or giving presents? I am going to sound sour, but I don't like either. I hate having to come up with something cute and creative. I also hate hate getting, it puts me in the spotlight and I don't like THAT kind of spotlight.

8.   Favorite pattern? stripes and chevron

 

9.   Favorite Day of the Week? Thursday nights. It is 99% sure that I get some honey time. We try to set our crazy schedules aside for this one night.

10. Favorite Flower? almost anything with no smell--- tulips & gladiolas. BUT I do love our roses!

February Photo A Day Challenge- Days 22-29

Well, I guess it is time to wrap up the month. February Photo A Day Challenge was fun and a lot tougher than I thought it would be.

February Photo A Day Challenge

I have been following this blog for about a week or so, Nose In A Book. What caught my eye on her blog were all the fun and funky photos. Then I saw that she was doing a "random" Photo A Day. I was disappointed that I had missed most of January but sooo excited when she posted that she is going to do it in February.

Well, I am such a copy cat, I asked if I could play along. I am a few days behind but will catch up in the next post or two.  So keep checking her blog out to see what she is posting each day and lets have some fun!!
