Yesterday I was nominated for two awards by fellow blogger Blue Bead Publications:

Both awards have the same rules:

1. Link back to the person who nominated you
2. Display the logo
3. Nominate 10 bloggers and let them know that they have been nominated.

These are two separate awards and so I could nominate up to twenty bloggers, but I have only been blogging steady for about two months and have thus far collected a small cadre of fellow bloggers who exhibit the community spirit that WordPress works to encourage, so like the previous two winners, I will combine the nominations for both awards.

The Sunshine Award also requires that I answer the ten following questions:

Favorite color – It changes from time to time, but right now it is royal blue, then bright orange.

Favorite animal – owls

Favorite number – I like the number three.

Favorite non-alcoholic drink – Fresh ground, fresh brewed black coffee. I think it’s more vital to me than water.

Do I prefer FaceBook or Twitter – Facebook. I’m trying to get into Twitter, but still haven’t gotten to the like stage.

My passions – running, writing, and figuring out how I’m going to get to go surfing someday.

Prefer getting or giving presents – I prefer to give because I often feel like I don’t really need anything.

Favorite pattern – Argyle

Favorite days of the week – sunny days

Favorite flower – sunflowers

Now, for the nominations. The following bloggers have struck me as the blogger family type, with a side of sunshine – in no particular order they are:

1. Didi Hagar, aseablackwithink
2. Andra Watkins, the Accidental Cootchie Mama
3. Rachel Folk, the All-night Knitter
4. Josh Eddy of BeardTalks
5. Coco J. Ginger
6. A Star on the Forehead
7. prophetbrahmarishi
8. JUMP FOR JOY! Photo Project
9. Stacey Utley
10. Opinionated Man

Thanks to Bluebead Publications, and thanks to you all for being there, for the likes, and for making me feel like a significant contributor to the blogging community – much love. 🙂

P.S. now that you have all been notified, I’m going to go have a beer or three in your honor. 😉
