The “Super Comments Award”

I’m back from a week’s break. I had a wonderful time, and thank you so much for all your comments. Even though I was sick with flu, I managed to relax, read and write (all my favourite things).

To my delight, while I was away, I received an award. Thank you to Betty at Cut and Dry for giving me the “Super Comments Award”. According to the rules I’m supposed to

1. Answer the questions below.
2. Name seven bloggers to pass the award on who have left super comments on my blog.
3. Come up with ten new questions and pass them on to the winners.

Like Betty, I’m not going to come up with new questions but use the questions provided already

Ten Questions/My answers:

1. What is your favourite colour? : - Purple
2. What is your favourite flower? : - Roses
3. When you go out to eat what is your favourite restaurant/or meal? : - Summer Salt. It’s right on the beach at Cronulla/ Fav restaurant meal is the duck.
4. Have you been to any of your high school reunions? If so did you have fun? : - Nope. I was overseas at the time.
5. If you had a couple of free hours to go play hooky on a weekday, what would you do by yourself? : - Write
6. What is your favourite piece of clothing in your closet right now and why? : - Cow slippers. They are so comfortable and keep my feet warm this winter.
7. Pearls or diamonds? : - Diamonds. I like all things that sparkle.
8. What is your favourite ice cream flavour? : - triple chocolate with swirl
9. What is your favourite Holiday and why? : - holiday means a different thing in America as it does in Oz. In Oz it means vacation. My favourite vacation destination would be any of the Queensland Islands. My favourite holiday season would be Christmas.
10. If you could have a $1,000 shopping spree anywhere, in which store would you spend it? : - um. No idea. I desperately need a new oven.

Awards and Kindness

Last week Glowingirl from Sugar Tails gave me the Versatile Blogger award. I feel very honoured and I wish to thank her for her generosity.

According to the rules, to accept this award I have to tell you seven random things about myself. So, here goes:

1. I have a passion for my Lord and Saviour.
2. He is the Light of my life.
3. He accepts me as I am - every bit of me.
4. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without Him.
5. I wish the whole world could see His Greatness, His Glory, His Love.
6. I have an 8 year old cat named Cortana who follows me around everywhere. I love her to pieces, but she is sick at the moment. She has very much been on my mind lately. Please pray that the right thing happens for her.
7. I have started a new blog about writing called W.I.P. It. If you are interested in writing and blogging tips, then please feel free to visit. I’m hoping I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew.

Ok, so I cheated a little bit on the random element ;)

Now, I’d like to pass on this award to some bloggers I really value:
Karen @ Hallelujah Anyhow
Barbara @ Barbara’s Bakin N Bits
Rochelle @ Learning to Trust
Leslie @ Goodbye House, Hello Home
Dorcas @ 4 Sweet Angels

This week Karen from Hallelujah Anyhow also gave me the Sunshine Award. Thank you so much Karen! I am supposed to pass this award on to bloggers who show positivity and creativity:

The Old Geezer
Living By Faith
Wagging Tales (have to encourage other Aussie writers)
An Instrument for His Glory
Cut and Dry

The Honest Award

I've been given an award, thanks to Rebekah from Reflection Space. It has taken me a few days to think about it.

According to the rules, I have to share 10 honest things about myself with you, and then pass the award on to ten of my favourite bloggers. Here it goes...

1. I’ve been married to my husband for 11 years. He is my soul mate. He is my best friend.

2. I love to write. I can lose myself in my writing. Not only do I love to write about God and living the life of faith, but I also love writing fantasy and science fiction. It might seem like a strange combination but that’s me.

3. I love indulging in digital art better than traditional art because it’s less messy and heaven made the undo button.

4. I don’t like myself. I am my worst critic in everything I do. God is working with me on this one. He is teaching me self acceptance. Some days I’m better at it than others.

5. Most people don’t realise that without God by my side I’m afraid of everything. He gives me strength and courage. He gives me peace.

6. I love the artistic eye of exceptional photographers. They see another aspect of the world God created.

7. I’m an avid computer game player. I even competed in an international tournament. After winning the nationals, I went to the USA and competed in the finals against the Americans and the Japanese. I was the only female competitor. And I won first place.

8. I love chocolate. I’m not talking about white chocolate. That’s pretend chocolate. I’m talking about the hardcore stuff... the 70% cocoa or higher. Nomnomnom.

9. I don’t drink coffee. I love the smell of it but just can’t handle the taste of it.

10. I have been a Christian for 28 years. I didn’t know what it was to be alive until I met Christ. But it’s only been the last few years that I began to talk and write about my faith.

I know that I should take advantage of the next bit to promote my blog etc, but honestly many of my favourite blogs are award free blogs. So, I’m going to name a few of my favourites (not in any order) and leave it at that.
