The Shine On Award And the Nominees are.......





This morning I got another amazing surprise from gifted author, Melissa Janda. She nominated me for The Shine On Award! I'm constantly striving to be worthy of blogging award nominations. I blush whenever I see an announcement posted in my email. Thank you, Melissa, for choosing me for this award. It's an honor for me to accept.

Here are the Rules:
  • Display the award logo on your blog.
  • Link back to the person who nominated you.
  • State 7 things about yourself
  • Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.
  • Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award requirements.

    Seven things about myself:
    1. When I was a little girl we had a dinner guest. In the middle of dinner, my dad started scolding me for some misdeed. I don't remember what I did wrong, but there was a scary silence. I started singing, "It's so Nice to Have a man Around the House," and everyone giggled. I remember being happy to be off the hook.
    2. I nearly had to stay back in fifth grade because my Math skills are atrocious. It's proof that the creative side of my brain works really hard, while the side that figures things out is usually resting comfortably.
    3. My mom tried so hard to make Math fun for me. She even bought a book with illustrations that had the numbers smiling and dancing around on the pages! It was fun to see the pictures and read about what the numbers did, but my Math skills are still rather dismal.
    4. There were rumors that our house was haunted and also that there was a buried treasure somewhere on our property. My dad looked for the treasure, but to no avail.
    5. During the blizzard on 1978, my dad actually put a rope around my waist and towed me to the barn to help with the horses. The snow drifts were above my waist!
    6. My first car was a red Plymouth station wagon. The color didn't make me nervous then, but I've since decided that the color red attracts accidents. My son and husband both had accidents when they owned red cars.
    7. I love classical music, especially waltzes.
      And the Nominees are:
      1. Janice Spina
      2. Carla Burke
      3. Sherry Ellis
      4. JoAnne Murphey
      5. Bertha Mukodzani
      6. D. L. Hammond
      7. Suzanne Furness
      8. S. Katherine Anthony
      9. S. A. Larsen
      10. Adrienne Kerman
      11. Elizabeth Seckman
      12. Maria Dunn
      13.  Emily R. King
      14. Amy Jarecki
      15. Peggy Eddleman

    Math? I hate it. Well at one point I understood the thing enough to like it, almost got a scholarship but I didn't take it because I wanted words not numbers lol

    Sorry I haven't posted the awards yet, I've been in revising mode... I think words are twirling around in my eyes o_0

    1. You're welcome, Jo. So sorry for misspelling your name. My cousin's name is Joanne with the e so it's easy to get confused, but it won't happen again.
