The Meta Awesomest Blog Unicorn Prize

Reneerose http://www.reneeroseromance.com/2012/08/all-about-unicorns.html was kind enough to nominate lowly me for the Meta Awesomest Blog Unicorn Prize.

THANK YOU.

 I do not feel worthy to be in the same category as all the bloggers nominated.

 However, I will graciously accept the award and try and pay it forward.

Just so you know, I am technology impaired so if it gets too difficult I may mention the blog names and not link!


 Award Rules:

1. Include the award logo somewhere in your blog.

2. Answer 10 questions you have about yourself.

3. Nominate 10 to 12 blogs you enjoy. Or you pick the number.

4. Pay the love forward: Provide your nominee’s link in your post and comment on their blog to let them know they’ve been included and invited to participate.

5. Pay the love back with gratitude and a link to the blogger(s) who nominated you.

Well I think I am really a mixed bag of a person, so maybe you have figured some of this out already by my writing.  

Here are ten things you may not know about me:
 
    I am an artist, and art teacher. It is truly my passion. My brother once asked me if I was happy in my job, and I said I look forward to getting up each day I teach art.
 
    I back- packed Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Paris in my early 20s, with a family member and a friend. CHERISHED MEMORY.

   I love cooking and when living with roommates I was the chef. They loved my food but not the clean-up. I used all the pots, pans and dishes ‘creating.’ I am much better now.

    I rarely follow a recipe, If you ask me how I made something I will give you approximates for the ingredients. My dishes often are somewhat different each time I cook!

    I won hula- hoop contests in my late 20s. I am once again exploring the hula hoop for exercise.

    I absolutely hate spiders, and most creepy crawlies. As a matter of fact I have been known to strip off everything in an absolute crazed daze when thinking they are upon my person. Much to the laughter of anyone present!! Thank goodness this does not happen often.


   I love reading, but rarely read one book at a time.

   I lost almost 50 pounds two years ago, and was able to “cure” some health issues. It is a continuous process.

    I  am related to an inventor from the past.

 My family means…..Everything to me. 


The next part is so hard for me but I will nominate some of my favorites. If you really want to know my daily blog indulgences peruse my blogroll.



I am cashed here this is taking me forever to complete. Laugh if you will I am so bad at this stuff. The linking etc..... Not the talking and sharing!

      All the blogs on my blogroll I read and enjoy. The friends  above have helped me and encouraged me.They have given me strength to indulge my floundering attempts at writing.

     I really am afraid I missed someone so please go back and read my very first blog post where I thanked many of you. 


     If I still forgot you and you are not on my blog list.....that is where I am having tech problems I have not solved as of yet.


     Thanks for reading, 
      Minelle

    1. You are just too kind. I am a bit outclassed here, but I am willing to give it a shot. It is so much fun, which is the idea, I guess.

  5. Oh Minelle,

    It's great you joined us. Thank you so much for the lovely award. I'm not sure if I have anything else to share that my readers don't know about me. I'll have to have a think over the weekend and maybe add a couple of things about if he'll let me:)

    I'm using the hula hoop again and loving it.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    Love,
    Ronnie

    2. Ok, I needed to rewrite this it didn't sound right!
      I am never sure I will have anything on topic to write.
      I hope to see you share more about yourself if possible.

      Great weekend wishes for you!

      Hula Hoop power!!
