The Sunshine Award

Thanks to Mac And Janet from www.macqueblogspot.blogspot.com for awarding me the Sunshine Award.   Mac and Janet live along the coast of Georgia, near Savannah, and are artists! (In painting and in words.)


Spreading a little sunshine in the world, sounds like a good idea to me!

The rules for this award are as follows:

1. Thank the person who nominated you and have a link back to them.  (Thanks again, Mac & Janet.)
2. Place the Sunshine Award in a post or on your blog.
3. Answer some questions about yourself.
4. Nominate 10 other bloggers (or I have seen it anywhere from 5-10 bloggers, that is up to you!)
5.  For the bloggers that you have chosen for the Sunshine Award, remember to comment on their
     blogs and let them know about their Sunshine Award!

Here are some sample questions:
1. What is your favorite color?
2. What is your favorite animal?
3. Do you prefer Twitter or Facebook?
4. What is your favorite pattern?
5. What is your favorite number?
6. What is your favorite day of the week?
7. What is your passion?

Now, I must tell you that I find it fairly impossible to answer questions like these.   I asked my son, "What is my passion?"  And he answered right away,  "Beauty, your passion is beauty, you are always looking for it."  And that is really all I can truly answer from those questions, and even that answer came from someone else! (Although he knows me well.)

Here are some great bloggers that I think deserve the Sunshine Award and if any of you don't "do" awards, that is perfectly fine by me, just know that  you have brought sunshine into my life and that is why you are on this list!   And if you don't want to answer the questions, you don't have to!

    1. Of course, sunshine is your word for 2012 and that is why you have this award! Don't worry, you don't have to dress up and get a limo or anything, unless you really want to!
      And I took weeks and weeks to put this on my blog, I don't think there is any time limit.
      You know I love my birds!

    1. I asked my nephew what was his favorite color (he was six at the time) and he said, "Blue...no, green!" He thought a minute and then he said, "No, wait...RED...hmm, but I really like yellow and purple and...Oh, Aunt Kay, I like ALL the colors!"

      I know just how he feels!

  9. Congratulations, Kay! You really are a ray of sunshine in my blogging circle. And I thank you for thinking of me :) It is difficult to pick just one favourite, isn't it? But when I post about this award, I'll try to answer the questions.
