Award.

Phew, this must be a record! Three posts in one day. Well, I am tucked up, back in bed after blowing around the garden like a paper bag, making sure the hens and rabbits had deep warm straw beds to snuggle into for the night. They are happy now, and so now it is time for me to collect this award, which was given to me over a month ago!

Many thanks to the lovely Pixiedust from Faerienuffstuff for giving this to me :)

I'm to list seven things about myself and then pass the award on to other bloggers that I feel deserve it, then they post a link back to me and pass it on.

I have many people that I'd love to pass this on to, but instead I've narrowed it down to the creative folk who have helped me most this year.

The following bloggers have been incredibly helpful and supportive of my efforts this year and have been guiding lights along my often dark and insecure path:

Karen of Moonlight and Hares,

Danielle of Notes from the Rookery,

Julia of East of the Sun, West of the Moon,

and my dear friend, Gretel of Middle of Nowhere.

Lastly I'd like to award the Fairy Shoemaker of Fairysteps, who has inspired me to chop up my wardrobe and have fun with my sewing machine :)

So, here are the seven things

1. I'm a massive Sci fi geek and Trekkie! (although real geeks apparently are called Trekkers!)

2. My first hearthrob was Tony Curtis (sigh!)

3. I always wanted (and still do) to be a Superhero.

4. I long to visit Arizona.

5. I LOVE Christmas with an almost obsessive passion!

6. I love food almost as much as Christmas.

7. I love second hand things, especially books.

That's it for me, the last one seemed especially hard to come up with, as it's not easy narrowing yourself down to just a few statements. I hope the rest of you have an easier time of it, and I look forward to reading what you write :)
