Versatile Blogger Award

This past weekend Ro from Ro-alwaysinspired chose me for the 
Versatile Blogger Award. 
Thank you Ro! This is my first blogger award - I feel so honored! :)


Here are the rules that go along with this award:
1. In a post on your blog, nominate 15 fellow bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.(15 isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice gesture. Try and pick at least 5 )
2. In the same post, add the Versatile Blogger Award.
3. In the same post, thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link back to their blog.
4. In the same post, share 7 completely random pieces of information about yourself.
5. In the same post, include this set of rules.
6. Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination by posting a comment on each of their blogs. 

OK, so here are seven random facts about me:

1.  I had my first taste of soda when I was 9 months old. My parents went to an A&W stand, and the story goes that I drank most of my mom's mug of rootbeer. Today I still prefer A&W.

2.  As a child, I had a specific method to eat Twinkies. First, pull off and eat the top of the cake, then scoop out & eat all the frosting with my finger, then eat the rest of the cake. And do it all...very...slowly. Drove my mother nuts!

3.  I taught myself how to crochet (with a little bit of help) in high school for a church project. I made a baby blanket for my youth leader and her first baby.

4.  I have TERRIBLE insomnia. Either I can't get to sleep until 2am, or I go to bed super early and wake up at 2am, then take a nap later.

5.  I have a stuffed hippo named Hippy that I have had since I was 5 years old. Everyone thinks it's terribly ugly, but I still love him to bits.

6.  My Christmas tree will always have a beautiful angel on top of it.

7.  As a child, I was known to sleep walk on occasion. Now I just talk in my sleep.

And now, for my 15 blog award recipients.....*drumroll*................
Be sure to visit these terrific blogs today!

    Awww! You are just too sweet for words, Bean. My first blog award ever! And I've had sort of a rough week, so you just made my day and put a much sun-shinier outlook on the world for me. I needed that, so thank you so very much. <3

    Thank you, Bean, for choosing my blog. What a treat for a blogger like me who is still feeling her feet in the blogging world. I'm right chuffed! Might have to toast myself (and you) with a glass of champagne. JB :-)

    Thank you so much. I feel as happy as if I won an Oscar (or how I imagine I would feel)
    I am so honoured that you chose me, a relative newbie to the blogging world!

    OH MY! Thank you so much for choosing me! This is my first award and I couldn't be happier. :-) I was a sleepwalker too as a kid, only I would run around our kitchen table screaming that a black cat was going to get me. My Mom and Dad say it was the roughest few years of nights ever. lol. Ironically enough though, shortly after I stopped we actually got a black cat AND I have had at least one black cat ever since. So far, none of them have ever tried to chase me around the table like in my sleepwalking days. LOL!
