The Elegant Blogger award (please read Sarah, Jenna Condon, Miss Jane Bennet, and Noelle)

  So ... a HUGE big thanks to the two gals who nominated/tagged me, Marissa and Isabelle !!

(you gals have saved me from having to like post something from my life ... LOL!)

 But on with it before the Abilaine rambles on too far.  :O

Rules

• When you receive the award, link back to keepcalmandsparkle1099.blogspot.com and the blog that nominated you (http://mildredcakes.blogspot.com/  http://belleinmylife.blogspot.com/)
• Display the award button in the post
• Answer all of the 12 questions given in this post (Do not make your own questions)
• Nominate 8 bloggers
• Notify them that they have been awarded

Questions:

1. What made you decide to start blogging?

 Um ... just for the simple fact that two certain cousins of mine (Marissa and Emelie) blogged so I had to. :D hehe!  

 And I have been completely in love with blogging ever since starting.
2. What is your fashion style?

 Whatever I wanna wear whenever I wanna wear it. hehe!

Seriously ... I have no idea. I love comfortable outfits that I look nice in. Hey, doesn't everyone?!?!?

3. What is something none of your followers know about you?

WOW! You really want me to answer this?!?! (joking)
Well ... I guess you people may not know that my third finger on my right hand turns outward when I spread my hand out. =O

And that I LOVE ( more like ADORE) milk-chocolate chocolate chips.

This person right here can verify that ... GO ASK HER!! :P

4. What are some of your blogging goals?

Just for my posts to show the real me. 

Of course I want them to uplift others and glorify my God, but I don't want a bunch of followers who follow my blog simply because I asked them to. :)

5. Where is your favorite place to shop?
 If I had a lot of money ... every mall and Cato in the world!!! YAY!Seeing I DON'T have a lot of money ... thrift stores and just random places I find something I like.

(actually I REALLY love thrift stores ... I have found most of my clothes there!)

6. What would your ideal amount of blog followers be?

 I don't really care??  :)

Having a nice tidy amount of followers who comment a bunch and love everything I post is ideal fro me ... but I kinda already have that!! 

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME INC.  !!!!!!! =D

7. What are your talents?
  Um ... I guess drawing.

I actually have a drawing blog here. :)

8. Are you a leader or a follower?

 I am very content being a follower ... unless when it comes to choosing a movie on movie night at our house (which is actually tonight!! YAY! =D)

 hehe!

9. What is one of your favorite quotes?

(that's one of them up there)

"Just think, Woody, tomorrow night you'll be around the campfire toasting delicious hot smoes ...!"   *geeky head-bobble and smirk*

"There called smores, Buzz."  ~Woody and Buzz, Disney's Toy Story 2

"I'm your new partner! YAY!"  ~ Lucy Wilde, Despicable Me 2

Oh, for crying out loud!!

Great jumping horny toads!!

(anything dramatic that works for the newest dilemma I find myself in! hehe!)

10. Do you have a favorite book or book series?

 Boston Jane

The Elsie Dinsmore books

Enola Holmes mysteries (I love those ... )

11. Out of all of the synonyms for elegant, which would you describe yourself with (smart - stylish - dressy - graceful - dainty - fine)?

Artsy.  =D

 (now everyone smile at my wittiness ... *smile*)

12. What is your favorite flower?

 Probably a rose, or lily, or maybe ...

Actually I am not that big on flowers. I mean I really think all of them are beautiful ...

but I cannot draw them very well and I guess I am very much prejudiced by that fact.

:D The horror.

But I really love roses ... :)

*face-palms myself for being so cheesy*

Sarah (Poetic Mediations)
