Awards
Warning!: long post and lots of photo’s!
I received two awards last week, given to me by three lovely ladies!
WOW, it feels so good to be loved!
I got this award from AnneMarie (MommyVictory)
I met her through her brother (the one with the “A to Z photo blog” –
which hasn’t been updated in a long time by the way…)
She’s a scrapbooker and a student in my workshop.
Thanks for the award AnneMarie!
And now for the rules (yep, there always are rules…)
- Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
- Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
- Link the person’s blog who nominated you for this award.
- Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
- Nominate 7 Kreative Bloggers.
- Post a link to the 7 you nominated.
- Leave a comment on each of the blogs to let them know
they have been nominated.
And for my 7 interesting things… I’ve done this two times before but that was
a long time ago (when I didn’t have that much followers) so I picked the facts
from former posts , but the ones that follow my blog longer maybe remember
(some of) these…
- I don’t like going on vacation! I rather stay home, sit in my garden –
reading, or inside the house – scrapping. The only “vacation” I like is
visiting my parents and hometown in Zeeland. I traveled quite a bit in
my life though, and have been to a lot of countries (as well in Europe –
Spain, France, Great Britain, Scotland – as further away – India, Curacao)
The only trip I really loved was the one with my best friend Lena to
Scotland, a few years ago. - Actually, I don’t like little children.
They only become interesting to me when they reach the age when you
can talk reason with them. - When I was little (about 8 years old) I wanted to become a professional
football player or a radio operator on a ship – I was really mad when I
found out “that’s not for girls”. I call myself feminist ever since. - I CAN’T STAND amusement parks. I hate Disneyland
(been in “Disneyland Paris) or any other of those places.
Too crowdy, too noisy, too much bling bling, too commercial, too
expensive, too much “TOO”…!(Aaaahhhh, I know – you don’t find my list interesting at all!
Ya’re only reading this ’cause you’re looking for a juicy secret,
aren’t you?!)
- I got my first kiss at 15 in a discotheque. While kissing, I thought
something like: ”this will be a moment to remember my whole life, so
let’s listen to the music that’s playing right now to go with the memory”.
And so I concentrated on the song that was playing – I shouldn’t have
done that! It was “A Whole Lot a Rosie” by AC/DC..(Not juicy enough you say? Bad luck!
This is the juiciest you’re gonna get!)
- If I could sing (which I can’t!) I would love to sing Country music!
Not that I like that music in particular, but it must be sooo satisfying to
sing “with a cry in your voice” (I would start with the ultimate
man/love/hate song “Stand by your man”! I adore this sentence:
“… ’cause after all, he’s just a man”) - If I want to, I can interfere in my dreams! I read about it when I was 16,
and I wanted to know how to do that too. It takes practice and it is hard
to explain how I do it (and I haven’t done it in a long time) but I CAN
change my dream in my dream; knowing that I’m dreaming while
dreaming and send the dream to another direction without waking up.
(Nominations for this award are at the end of this post)
This next award I got from both Iris and Maja – Dutch ladies.
I met Iris on the “Scrap-a-licious” weekend in Veghel (can’t believe that’s
almost a year ago!) and we follow each others blogs ever since.
Iris is pregnant of her second child and in the middle of reorganising
her house… Hang in there Iris!
I met Maja on SIStv a few Months ago and she just started blogging.
I was in fact the first one to comment on her blog! She played along with
my top 2000 week last December and she’s also a student in my workshop.
Thanks ladies, for the happy award!!!
For the rules: I have to give this award to three other bloggers
and name 10 things that I like and/or make me happy.
Because it would be a lot of text for one post, I will “enlighten”
my 10 things with happy little pictures.
1.
My men, having fun together.
2.
Being with my family (this is an old photo and I used it because
my brother is on this one. He lives far away in Canada now..
(HI BRO!)
3.
Scrapping
4.
Being with my best friend Lena.
We know each other since childhood,
she’s my very, very dear heart friend!
5.
The beach in Zeeland.
6.
Blogging and visiting other artist’s blogs.
7.
Reading.
8.
My garden in the summer.
9.
Lighting some candles at night.
10.
Last but not least: my community and online workshop, and
the fact that I have 17 (!) lovely and talented students in my
first workshop group!!!! (The 18th is me of course…)
I’m curious what “interesting facts” these ladies – I don’t know them
very well yet – come up with, so The Kreative Blog award goes to
these 7 other bloggers:
And the happy award goes to bloggers that make me happy!
This one’s for:
See you all again on Friday.
Je t’embrasse!
