An Award ...

I needed to do some research, but now that I know, I can share.  And isn't that the beauty of wisdom?

I was nominated by Jesse for the Leibster Blog Award last week!  (Thank you so much, Jesse, I'm humbled.)

The 11 Questions that Must be Answered [oh, that word MUST...]

1. Why did you start blogging?

Blogging is a way for me to share the good God sings to my heart in words, which I love, with friends, whom I love even more.

2. What is your favorite genre to read?

Christian Non-Fiction (It's really not as boring as the label sounds, I promise)

3. What fictional character do you most wish were real?

Ann Cuthbert-Blythe

4. Describe your dream office for writing.

light, bright, and airy; feminine, floral, organized

5. Name one thing you couldn't live without.

The Bible

6. If you could keep only one book, what would it be?

lol, yeah - see above

7. If you could magically transport yourself into a book, which one would you choose and what character would you be?

See #3 

8. Do you have any phobias?

Spiders. *gag*  ... but I'm learning courage and now, finally in my 30's, I CAN squash them without screaming and running out of the room for my husband to save me.  *pat on the back*

9. What is your biggest pet peeve?

an attitude of entitlement [especially when I see it in the mirror]

10. Describe yourself in 5 words.

bright, cheery, deep, sweet, sensitive

11. Who is your favorite well-known author and your favorite rising star author?

Ann Voskamp  and Holly Gerth

That was fun, Jesse! I love your blog too!

Here are some Blogs I'm nominating for the award also!

I hope you enjoy them too.

Not Enough Chocolate by Suzanne Shaffer

Revelation of Love by Trish Kelly

Anna Frye by Anna Frye

Our Good Life by Aurie Good

Tales from a Gypsy Mama by Lisa-Jo Baker

Chatting at the Sky by Emily Freeman

(I broke two rules of the award here: I was supposed to nominate 11 blogs, and they were supposed to all have fewer than X followers, but I can't tell how many people follow some of the blogs, so I just nominated some recent finds that I've enjoyed.)  

Thank you for Grace!
