Wow - An Award...

Liebster in German means...

favourite, dearest, beloved

and it's for bloggers with under 200 followers.

 

 

Apparently I have been given this lovely award by Catherine at Mommies Are People Too 

 which is lovely of her and means that there is at least one person other than my mum who is reading this blog..

I am now going to share the joy and pass it on to 5 blogs that I particularly love checking in with...

 

First up is Kate from  Bean there, Read That for being my Young Adult Fiction guru and all round knower of things good.

Next is my beautiful 9 year old daughter Gidget who has her own Blog - AWESOME!  And we think it is exactly that.

My partner in crime at Stars Hollow who keeps me sane and indulges my love of all things Zac related!

Rach at Picklebug who often makes me laugh and delights me with her fabulous images.

Last is Whitney At Whit's End who was one of my very first 'blogger friends' many years ago when I started this weird habit.  Drop by and visit with her and her family.

Cool! I Won An Award.

No matter what anyone says, when another blogger, especially one you admire, presents you with a blogging award it is a thrill.  It means, for one thing, that you are not the only one reading your own blog which is kind of comforting as I'm sure most of us feel that our blogs' only audience is our mums and the one or two friends who feel obliged to check in every now and then to see what we're up to.  Secondly, who doesn't like winning awards?  Especially when you don't actually have to stand up in front of a room full of people to accept it.

So..... it is with great honour that I accept the Sunshine Award

 from the delightful MAXABELLA LOVES

"the Sunshine Award is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspire others in Blogland".  Wow! Thank you so much.

Now, according to Maxabella I get to 'pass the award on to other bloggers who are positive and creative and inspirational.' but first in order to earn my award I have to share  'seven things you don't know about me' so here goes...

1. I'm a Road Reader - which means I read my book while I'm walking.  I am exceptionally good at it and have never yet tripped over or bumped in to anything.  I can even cross the road without looking up from my book.

2.  I have to have all the chairs at the dining table straight or I freak out.  Surfer Boy moves then off centre just to mess with me.

3.  I adore MGM musicals.

4.  I always wanted to live in Avonlea but I'd be just as happy to live in Stars Hollow.

5.  I love Big M but rarely drink it anymore.

6.  I can't stand text abreviations.  If you're too lazy to write properly then ring instead of texting.

7.  I have a girl crush on Miley Cyrus and own all her albums, including the Hannah Montana album and movie soundtrack. 

LOGIES??

The Gold Logie nominations are out - and there is already controversy!
I've had conversations with a couple of people with various strong opinions about who deserves to win TVs highest honour.
What are your thoughts?
Here are the nominees.... (sorry to those of you outside Aus)
Natalie Blair - Neighbours' actress


Adam Hills - Funnyman and host of Spics & Specs as well as various hosting gigs. This is his first time up.


Chris Lilley - another first timer and the creative genius behind Summer Height's High. He is also up in the best actor category and SHH is up for best light entertainment program.

Rove McManus - The Host with the most and past Gold winner

Andrew Denton - master interviewer.

John Howard - the cranky doctor from All Saint's.

Lisa McCune - multiple Gold Logie winner and now on Sea Patrol.

Kate Ritchie - Home and Away stalwart, It Take's Two host and last year's winner.

I have various opinions about some of the nominees but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts first.
