And the Award Goes To:

I am very pleased and truly honored as I have been nominated for four different awards. I made the decision that rather than doing a separate post for these awards that I would combine them into one post as I have seen others do!

The first award that I received is the Beautiful Blogger Award! Thank you to Prego and the Loon for the honor!

Beautiful Blogger Award

The rules are as follows:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you! – Done
2. Attach the award to your site. – Done
3. Share seven random facts about yourself.

Now for the seven random facts about myself: 1) My favorite season is winter for the snow; 2) I love a well written book; 3) I am interested in the paranormal; 4) I love to travel to new places; 5) Photography is my thing; 6) My favorite actor from days gone by was Peter Sellers; 7) I am still waiting to make sausage with my buddy Joe!
