Sisterhood of the World Bloggers’ Award

“Oh my golly goshes and golly ah gee”! No make that 2 “Oh my golly goshes and golly ah gees”!

I feel rather bubbly today indeed. Maybe I should crack open some early Christmas Bubbly!

Yeah! …two lovely people…Sweetness (Public Transit User) and Dawny Hosking have both nominated me for the “The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers” Award over the past month or so.

Sadly Dawny (aka our wonderful Warrior Goddess) is not blogging at present due to difficulties she has been experiencing with her health. I certainly miss her very much and I’m sure many fellow bloggers out there do too. If you’re reading this Dawn, we all wish you a most wonderful Christmas together with your loved ones and also relief from the illness you suffer.

Sweetness6645 is still writing. She has a wonderfully entertaining blog as she Chronicles her day to day experiences on public transport. You should go on over and check out her site.

I myself would like to say a big thank you to both Sweetness and Dawn.

As always awards have their own set of rules and below are the rules for this prestigious award:

2 X Sisterhood of the World

The rules for receiving the Sisterhood of the World bloggers award are as follows.

1. Provide a link and thank the blogger who nominated you for this award.
2. Answer 8-10 questions.
3. Nominate 10-12 blogs that you find a joy to read.
4. Provide links to these nominated blogs and kindly let the recipients know that they have been nominated.
5. Include the award logo within your blog post.

I myself am most grateful to have been considered as part of a sisterhood.

The Questions:

Your favorite color – I think Rainbow is becaquse I happen to like of them!
Your favorite animal – A Dog…..I’ve had so many wonderful dogs and they are always great companions.
Facebook or Twitter – Neither…Don’t really use either and I find Blogging takes up more than enough time
Your favorite pattern – I think stripes but I’m a little changeable when it comes to design…whatever is new and fresh will attract me at the time and gain my attention
Do you prefer getting or giving presents? –I love both. I find it exciting to give and exciting to receive…both are lovely experiences.
Your favorite number? – 1,000,000-if that were in dollars I’d be very overjoyed!
Your favorite day of the week? – Friday…it always signals new adventures to me.
Your favorite flower? – Many…Rose, tulip, camellia, orchid, azalea, bird of paradise, Bougainvillea, sunflower, crab’s claw and many many more.
What is your passion? – Photography of course and travelling!

I’ll just keep the same questions for my own nominees

The Nominees I would like to present this award to are: (I’m ecstatic as I have 2 awards so that means 20 new nominees). I love all your blogs and thank you for all the hard work you put into making them creative, informative, entertaining and fun.

You are my sunshine!

I’ve begun humming a favourite old song of mine again lately:

“You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You make me happy,

When skies are grey!”………

Sunshine

Well today I’d like to say a BIG thank you to Tails from Paris for this new Sunshine Award they sent my way a few weeks ago. I really appreciate your nomination of my travel memoir blog at Kidazzleink.com…. Yeahhhh. Please everyone, do make sure you shoot over and check out the wonderful little comic sketches and jokes that are regularly posted on the Tails from Paris Blog site.

Sunshine Award

Now for 10 Interesting things about me (well I hope they’re a little bit interesting):

I love taking photos and I love my D7000.
I’ve just started travelling a lot more in recent years and love it way too much. So much so that D.B. recently asked if I’d like to get another puppy!
I look forward to retiring soon so I can travel even more.
My name should be Michelle Stuhmcke by now but I haven’t got around to changing it from Michelle Davies yet despite being married for more than a half a decade…some things just seem to take a bit of time you know!
Blogging is becoming a passion at the moment because everyone in the blogosphere is so positive and so very entertaining…just love you all
I live on the beautiful Gold Coast in Australia – you should come on over a take a look sometime.
Crème Brulee Chocolate from Lindt is very delicious and I think my absolute favourite.
D.B. and I hope to visit China in 2014.
The older I get the younger I seem to feel.
I’m loving learning to write creatively all over again…Haven’t written anything but work reports etc for many years.

Now for my list of “Sunshine” blog nominations.

These bloggers continue to add their wonderful little rays of sunshine to my own life on a fairly regular basis. I believe they can help to positively and creatively inspire all of us in this wonderful blogosphere. And they’re all such wonderfu people as well. Hop on over and take a look at their entertaining WordPress sites.

Award, Most Influential Blogger, Photography, Thank you everyone, Tickled Pink, Wordpress

Just Tickled Pink

I have to say that it is with great delight and humble privilege that I now accept the award of “Most Influential Blogger” from lovely Dawny Hosking. She is a wonderful writer and fellow WordPress member who posts about yoga, poetry, and so much more. I have to admire Dawn as she does all this even though she suffers from much pain in her life. Do hop over and visit her blog at dawnyhosking.wordpress.com/

Pink

I’m sure you’ll find something there to interest you too.

I believe Dawny originally received this award to pay forward from Shaun over at his headquarters Looking for reasoning to a complicated world I’d recommend checking his stuff out well — very worthwhile, interesting and cool.

Here’s what the award looks like:

Now I’ve been lucky enough to receive it as well….Yeeehhhh!

Well here are the rules which I must take note off:

1. Display the Award on your Blog.
2. Announce your win with a post and thank the Blogger who awarded you.
3. Present 10 deserving Bloggers with the Award.
4. Link your awardees in the post and let them know of their being awarded with a comment.
5. Answer each of the 11 questions that your awarder asked, and then write 11 for your awardees (or use the same ones up to you !)

That’s fair enough, and on to the questions:

1) What makes you happiest? Relaxing with family and friends and taking photos.
2) Do you love the Oceans or Mountains more? Absolutely adore both and also love photographing them both along with everything else that’s in between.
3) What has been a special moment in 2013? Globe Trotting and River Cruising in Europe in Spring and now writing this blog Memoir….wonderful experience.
4) What’s your favourite quote? “Don’t worry, Be happy”.
5) Do you like yourself? Absolutely.
6) Do you stay up till midnight on New Year? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Love fireworks though.
7) Something you wish could be done ASAP? Peace for all and an end to suffering. (I’m with Dawn on this one.)
8) What was your favourite class when still at school? Dance.
9) What musical instrument have you tried to play? Piano –not well!!
10) Anything you had wished to have learned earlier? Well I guess photography of course but I sort of think that the doors open when you yourself are ready to learn!
11) Do you like to do Crafts, Drawing or Painting? Sorry but I have to say photography again. And I’d love to learn to use Photoshop if I can.

I’ll just stick with these same questions for my nominated bloggers as well — saves time and they are as good as any I could ask.

My new nominations for influential blogger awards are: Oh don’t make me choose, really — so many.
