Sunshine Award

Good evening everyone!!! I was so surprised and excited to receive this blog award from the most wonderful Karon @ Karon's Krafty Korner!! I have to say, she is one of the most wonderful bloggers I follow. I visit her every time something new shows up and she does the same! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you Karon!! *hugs*

This award is called the Sunshine Blogger Award.


Here are the rules:

1. Include award logo in blog post.
2. Thank the blogger who gave it to you and include a link back to them.
3. Answer 10 questions about yourself, that you have made up yourself. (I might have to pinch a few!)
4. Nominate 10-12 bloggers and contact them at their blog site to inform them.

Question 1.  What is your favorite genre books to read?
My favorite books to read are fantasy. I love the Dragonriders of Pern series, The Eye of the World series, The Belgariad and more. These are my favorites for sure.

Question 2.  Name one place in the world you would love to visit.
Australia... most definitely. Amazing I would find my soul mate and he would be all the way there LOL And yet... the trip over is still out of my grasp. Maybe one day! At least I get to live through him while he is there :)

Question 3.  What do you like to do besides craft?
I'm a gamer.. I love to play games. I love to watch movies and tv shows too. I don't watch them when they are current.. I love Netflix LOL

Question 4.  What do you enjoy most about crafting?
Crafting is my stress relief! And I love coloring so much.. like a little kid! I really wish I could take some Copic classes, but I can't find any. So I will continue to try to teach myself!

Question 5.  What were your favorite things to do growing up?
I was a dancer until I got into High School (tap, jazz and ballet).Once I hit High School I wanted to get into sports and that is where I fell in love with Volleyball!!

Question 6.  What was your nickname?
I had a High School nickname of Stump. My kids still laugh at it today. I got it from my Volleyball coach, because I was so short LOL I was only 5'0. Wait.. I'm only 5'1 now LOL

Question 7.  What is one of my best qualities?
I think I'm really dependable, loving, friendly. I really try to live like Jesus would want me to. I do fail sometimes, but I try!

Question 8.  What is one of my worst qualities?
I have two that stand out.. one I'm working on LOL! The first one.. I can't say no! And people know that and tend to take advantage. This is something I need to work on too! The second one and the one I am working on... If someone does something mean/wrong, I tend to hold a grudge. I'm trying to be more forgiving. I think I'm doing okay.

Question 9.  What is something you definitely want to do in the next year?
I want to move! I want to get out of this apartment and into a house again. I miss being in a house. It wouldn't be the same without Kevin though.. so first I have to get him here!!

Question 10.  What is your favorite Holiday?
Christmas! I love Christmas and last year Kevin was here and it was the best Christmas I have ever had in my entire life! Here is to many more to come :)

I never knew how hard asking yourself 10 questions could be!

I am honored, Susan! What fun seeing you get the Sunshine Award and I loved reading your questions and answers. :-D Just so you know, I've been awarded this same one previously and for that reason alone, don't feel it would be fair to accept it a second time or post about it on my blog again. Perhaps you'd like to choose someone else?
