A Pleasant Surprise Times Two!

As I mentioned in my post this Sunday, I've been very remiss about blogging lately due to a family issue that is still ongoing. So, imagine my surprise to find that I've been given the Kreative Blogger award TWICE!! Thanks to BOTH Karen at Ancestor Soup and Sheri at Twig Talk for thinking about me ~ it was such as nice pick-me-up!

The winner of this award is supposed to list seven things about themselves and then pass the award along to seven other bloggers.


Seven things about me:

1. I've just recently made contact with a cousin (OK, 3rd cousin) in Scotland!!

2. I'm quite an introvert but definitely not shy.

3. I've read every one of Jane Austen's 6 major novels at least 20 times.

4. I'm a Harry Potter fan!

5. I am going to German School every Saturday morning.

6. I have twin niece and nephew - born on different days.

7. I'm over 50 and still have my Mom hem pants for me. (after all - it's her fault I'm short, right?)


It's hard to nominate only 7 blogs when I read so many that are great in different way. So, here are just the first 7 that came to mind!!

1. Glimpsing the Past ~ Hi Cuz!

2. Family Tree May Contain Nuts

3. Tennessee Memories

4. Claudia's Genealogy Blog

5. Elyse's Genealogy Blog

6. Flipside

7. Grace and Glory


If I had more time, I'd just keep going...every blog I've looked at tonight was creative and interesting!!

Thursday Evening Excitement ~ Kreativ Blogger Award

I was so excited when I got home tonight to find that I'd been given the Kreative Blogger Award!! I'd like to say a huge thanks to Judy Shubert over at Genealogy Traces for giving me my very first blog award!

The instructions for the Kreativ Blogger Award are:
1. Copy the award to your site.
2. Link to the person from whom you received the award.
3. Nominate 7 other bloggers. (how to choose only 7!!)
4. Link to those sites on your blog.
5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominate.


My nominees for this award are:
When I read these, and ALL the wonderful genealogy blogs out there I realize just how much work I have to do to bring my blog "up to speed." Fortunately for me the community of GeneaBloggears is a wonderful, helpful group so I don't worry about my short comings as a blogger and just try to learn as much as I can as I go along.

Thanks to all - and tonight especially to Judy!!
