A blog award *grin* and many thanks to Writing Nut (and I’m gonna end up with that song stuck in my head again *argh*)
The requirement with the award is that you write 10 thing about yourself that readers might not know and then pass the award on to five other awesome blogs *grin*
So here goes!
- I’m not a genuine red head – I’m white! And I mean silver white. It’s actually rather pretty but I’m sooo not that brave (yet) and I love been a red head *grin* I got my first white hair when I was 6 (and thanks again mum & dad for that particular gene..; p)
- I have two dogs, Sable and Otis and one nutty wee tortiseshell cat called Griffin – and they’ve all inspired characters in my story (some obvious, others not)
- I love to sew – when time, life & writing permits. I really need to make myself a ‘work’ raincoat..
- I love pretty sparkly things – my parents frequently tease me for being a ‘magpie’
- I used to compete in smallbore shooting – and was pretty darn good, my highest score was a clean 99.00 Oooooh so close ; p
- I make the best butterscotch pudding *drool*
- My dream house is one that we build nestled amongst acres of bush (nice bush! not scrappy) with the nearest neighbour miles away!
- Like Writing Nut I dream of having a huge old style library – in my dream house, naturally *grin*
- I was in a T.V advert – years ago now and all of 2 seconds worth but I actually got recognised at the supermarket and local dairy – all I can say is WOW they have good-eyesight.
- I’m shortsighted and oblivious to everyone. If you spot me on the street you have to bellow my name and use aeroplane arm signals to get my attention. Never assume that I’ve spotted you cause I’m smiling – I’m in my own world here people!
The people I’m awarding with this award are
Desmond
Vatche
Pixie (Constance)
Chris
Kerrin
Congrats on your award – there so much fun!
Thanks Jaydee – I'm looking forward to adding more *grin* if I can only get the stupid picture to upload where I want it *grrr* it put it in the post fine!?! *sigh* computers..
Best Library ever is the one from "MY Fair Lady" Not that i admit to watching that…
I don't care if i only have a tiny kitchen bathroom and two bedrooms off that room, i want it!!!
congrats! fun aren't they!! thanks for mine, i'll put it up tomorrow 🙂
Wow, congratulations on your award! I'm with you on the whole oblivious thing, I'm always getting texts saying, "I saw you yesterday and tried to get your attention, but you didn't see me. :(" And then I feel bad… but I can't help it!
Now, if someone shouts the name of my main character… that's a different story. 😀
3. I have zero skill, but my wife said she will be teaching me this weekend.
5. is that a 22 Winchester? way to go on the score. I always thought women to be better at guns since they are more acutely in tune with their breathing and such. Plus the calculations to account for wind are things women seem better at.
6. mouth watering…….
7. here's one http://www.biltmore.com/
cudos on the award. ;-}
Hi Pix & K. I agree bout the library pix! 🙂 Actually forgot about that one
Thanks Bethany 🙂 Actually it's funny you mention that, I was thinking as I typed it 'now if they yelled one of my characters names – well that'd be a different story' *grin*
SH – My dad actually taught me how to sew – and how to plait! My mum had to get my brother to help her do a basic plait in my hair when I was little *giggle*
re # 5 – I think so and smallbore is inside shooting (indoor ranges) fullbore in NZ is using a .44 outside. I'd like to try it sometime 🙂
and thanks! Gng to check out that link now
Congrats on the award! I think your hair sounds lovely in its natural state. Hey, at least you didn't inherit baldness! 🙂
*LOL* very true Janel – there is always something to be grateful for!! One day I'll go silver – when I'm old enough to be the crazy cat lady (or maybe just the crazy animal lady)
Hey, congrats on the award, Nicole, and thanks for passing it onto me, I didn't notice it was me, since I'm not Desmond but Dezmond :)) But now I will put it over in my side-bar award shelf for everyone to stare at it and get envious :)))
Oops sorry Dez 🙂
