I nominated Leanne for this award, and she accepted so graciously, that I have to reblog! She renominates me, and I feel my gratitude for that should be not by rewriting a new acceptance post, but by reblogging this that she wrote, to introduce her blog to a whole new audience! Please check her blog out and give her a follow, she writes an online book, among over things! 😊😊😊

As always, please don’t feel obliged to accept, but if you do, I’d love to know!
Do you know, I almost feel sad that these two nominations didn’t include questions to answer, or a task to unearth more facts about myself, but, actually I was grateful for that too…. I am exhausted from life in general, so it was a nice, easy one (two) to do!

On this damp day I got a wonderful ray of sunshine!!!
Janine of the blog Word Essence has nominated me for The Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you so much, Janine, for thinking of me!
Rules:
1) Thank the person that nominated you
2) Answer the questions you were given by the person who nominated you
3) Nominate some other bloggers for this award
4) Write the same amount of questions to the bloggers you have nominated
5) Notify the bloggers you have nominated
My questions :
1) How do you find inspiration for your work ?
Inspiration hits me in many different ways, from something I read, to something I see, or something I heard, or maybe remembered…
2) Name something you would never give up, and why.
I have to say my family here, I could never give my family up, for anything, they are the reason I am here, and the reason I am the person I am too!
3) Describe your perfect day
My perfect day would be with my family, and close friends, spending time relaxing, and enjoying precious time with them all!
4) How long have you been blogging for and what got you started?
I started blogging at the end of November 2014, after I was prompted to sign up, when I wanted to comment on a friend’s blog. I didn’t need to really start a blog, I could have just been a reader, but the temptation to write was so strong, it pulled me in and I haven’t stopped since!
Nominees
My Questions
- Why did you name your blog what you did?
- What is the biggest source of ‘sunshine’ in your life ? (Please… not THE SUN!!!!!!!!!)
- What would you prefer, a glitch to the WordPress site where you could only read others blogs, and not post, or write whatever you wanted, and not read others work?
- Why do you blog?
As always, please don’t feel obliged to accept but if you do, I really would love to know!
Creative acceptance!!!

Oo-Er!! I appear to have been nominated again!
Thank you so much to The Ugly Ducklings Life, and her not ugly at all blog, for nominating me for the Creative Blogger Award, once again!
So Here Are The Rules:
Nominate blogs and notify the nominees.
Post the link of the blog that nominated you.
Share five random facts about yourself.
5 facts about me…
- I have just spent the day having an extremely lazy Sunday! In bed or on the sofa, reading! I finished one book and am over 2/3 through another! And we watched the Wimbledon Men’s final too!
- I am jealous of my cousin who got my mum’s gorgeous light brown eyes, and I didn’t!!!!
- I was once in the creative team for a Jewellery business! Sound impressive? It wasn’t such a big deal, we had to do the Young Enterprise scheme in 6th form, and we decided to make our own jewellery to sell, I became adept at creating earrings and twisting bits of wire!
- I managed to chip my front tooth as a child, getting out of the swimming pool!
- In a space of 6 months I was hit from the back, while driving, and stationery at a roundabout… THREE TIMES! What luck eh!
My Nominees…
As always, please don’t feel obliged to accept, but if you do, please let me know!

Dang! That girl’s gone and done it again! Erika my blog sister, has nominated me, again, for an award!
This time the Leibster Award is gleaming on my virtual mantelpiece! Thank you so much Erika! Love ya! And please, if you haven’t already, go check her blog out, it’s awesome! From quotes, to songs, to thought provoking pieces, to the downright naughty!

- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Answer the questions from the person who has nominated you.
- Nominate some other bloggers for this award.
- Write the same amount of questions for the bloggers you have nominated.
- Notify the bloggers you have nominated.
Erika’s Questions for Me
1. When you get stuck in the traffic (no matter what side of the road you are driving ) how do you react?
It gives me a great excuse to bust some tunes on my stereo, and sing along!
2. What is your favourite time of the day?
I love the early morning, when it’s just me and my kitty, and there is peace and quiet… having said that, I love night too, when I get to go to sleep!
3. What kind of vacation do you like most (adventure, beach, educative…)?
We tend to go on family holidays, and by that I mean going to visit family, nice, but not really a vacation! I much prefer the beach holiday scenario!
4. What is your favorite activity on a sunny Summer day?
Relaxing in the garden, my family playing around me, and me sat with a good book, chilling
5. What is your favorite activity on a cold and snowy Winter day?
Much the sameness, sat wrapped up on the sofa, or in bed, my family around me, watching a film, or reading again!
Nominees… I went for a cat theme this time for my nominees… Sonu Singh said I should!
And my questions
- What makes you purr loudest?
- What is the best gift you bought in for your human?
- What do you prefer, being inside or out?
- Is your human really your owner, or secretly your slave?
- Can you post your best picture of yourself?
As always please, no obligation for this one, but if you choose to accept, do let me know so I can read your answers!
Thanks for reading Peeps!
