Oh to be lovely and inspiring at the same time…
Last weekend I came across two surprises on my About Me page. Someone had stopped by in June and again in July and presented me with two awards! What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! 🙂
I have been given the Inspiring Blog Award and the One Lovely Blog Award by DaphneShadows. Thank you thank you, Daphne! I am so pleased that you enjoy my blog.
Please take a moment to visit her blog by clicking here.
I am going to follow Daphne’s lead and combine the rule of the two awards since they are almost the same.
- Thank and link back to the person who nominated you. Done and done!
- Share 7 things about yourself
- Nominate 15 blogs that inspire you and let them know in a comment on their blog. (YIKES! 15!?)
OK… here it goes!
Seven Things About Me
- When life gets stressful, I escape with children’s fiction.
- I hate flying and tend to travel only close to home.
- I often talk to myself.
- I am addicted to Good and Plenty candy.
- I used to sing in the shower but now I seem to have misplaced my voice. (need to work on that!)
- I believe in the therapeutic benefits of a nap- as often as possible.

Cheryl I’m with you, I like to escape through children’s fiction as well. And coincidentally that’s the sort of fiction I like to write!
Writing it is as good an escape as reading it. That is my preference in writing as well.
Ha, ha! I love #6! I concur. 😉
every chance i get!! 🙂
Cheryl, Thanks so much for the award, I’m honored!
While I’m not much of a Good and Plenty fan, I definitely talk to myself often enough to warrant odd expressions from strangers. But hey, what writer doesn’t talk to herself. It’s how we work out all the kinks in dialogue 🙂
And naps, too. I’m all for a 20 minute siesta most days.
Happy Writing!
So nice to hear I am not the only one babbling away when no else is in the room. 🙂
