Blog Award

How lovely! I've been awarded the following blog award...

... from my lovely LOAD friend Debbie (check out her creative blog here). I am thrilled that she thought of me and it certainly made a grey day a little brighter! Thanks Debbie!

This award comes with a few rules: 

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this. 
2. Share 8 things about yourself.
3. Pay it forward to 8 bloggers that you have recently discovered (see below).
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their awards.

8 things about myself:

1. I am always tired - I mean ALWAYS! Have been all my life. No excuses, I just am!
2. I can't curl my tongue much to my family's amusement - all of whom can. 
3. I love this time of year - the colder the better.
4. I think that even though I have a British passport, I must really have been born German - Gemany just suits me SO well!
5. I am a total control freak - go figure!
6. I am a Scorpio - can you see a theme here?
7. I think I am addicted to the internet and email. I can't imagine my life without either of them.
8. I am a total Christmas film freak - all the way from the Muppets' Christmas Carol through to my all time fave, Holiday Inn

8 blogs that I enjoy -  in random order:

1. Libby - A Lifetime of Chances
2. Debbie - A World of Imagination
3. Sarah - Sarah's Pigeonhole
4. S - Snaps & Snippets
5. Nic H - It's Been One of Those Days
6. Margie - Xnomad's Blog
7. The Gutsy Mom
8. Paper View

They may not all be recent discoveries, but they are all very creative and fill me with inspiration every time I read them. As I have talked about before here on my blog, living away from friends and family, as well as being a "bit" of a Billy No Mates (!), my blog friends are really important to me and helps me to feel connected. I love this virtual world of ours - don't you?


Looking forward to the start of December - I really want to attempt some sort of a daily album à la December Daily or Journal Your Christmas. Any similar plans your way?
