And thankyou to the lovely Wendy from the textured leaf for the very sweet Leibster Award featured on my sidebar.

I would like to pass it on to "Anne" who gives me much encouragement when I am down and to "Yves" who makes me feel so good. 

If I could I would also pass it back to Wendy who inspires so many of us with her natural, earthy creativity.
I'm also sending the award to "Jan" who sews for love of people. She seems to work non stop making quilts for the needy and I really love to look at her amazing contributions.

To all my other regular readers and commenters - if you like the look of this aweard and you comment regularily here I would love you to have it too.
You all rock!

Seven things you probably didn't know about me

Ok. So Joanne from Framed -A Photographic Blog has kindly awarded me the Beautiful Blog award. I'm not normally into these types of things but I've seen this one around and rather enjoyed reading some of them.

So here goes.
Seven things you probably don't know about me.

* I read my Bible every night and believe that all the Bible propecies will come true soon.

* I useed to live in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea when I was a kid and am totally devastated that all my memories and homes and schools and shops and and the bung (market) and the airport that sold the best chewing gum in the world (or maybe just the best wrappers) are now buried under metres of volcanic ash.

* I love cows and unfortunately also the smell of cattle trucks. Goes back to having lived on a farm for a year in my childhood.

* I love, love, love windy days and crashing lightening and thunder (my apologies to anyone who has ever been hurt in any of these situations).

* I hate cooking and ironing.

* I love the bush and the ocean although I cannot swim.

* I have had two miscarriages and three living babies.

There so now you know a little bit more about me.

Now I am supposed to nominate some more people to share this award with. This is where I really come unstuck because I want to send this to all the blogs I read but don't know if you like awards and can't remember if you have already received this.
So I am sending this out to anyone who comments on this post.
And thankyou Joanne too.

These pictures are from last weekends road trip to Tamworth. I am very proud of my youngest daughter who did all the driving including really windy and very steep roads, crossing single lane bridges and ones without any siderails and driving always within the speed limits. No one got sick which was even better.

Bloggy award

I'm not really an award person but I felt privileged to receive this one because it means that my efforts to comment are appreciated. Thanks Primrose Corner. I like to comment to give people encouragement and also often because I am overawed by what I see. In turn I appreciate each and every comment left on my blog even though I do not often reply. I want to hand this compliment on to others who have often encouraged me about my work.

Dawn from Sew Ritzy Titzy

Jacoline from Lovely Living

And a big thankyou to everyone who has ever commented here. The rules for this tag have been lost so you may do as you please when you receive it.
