I was so excited to recently be nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award!! Yay!
I received this nomination by Chefjulianna over at Foodie on Board. I must admit I am a bit late in accepting this award, but non the less thrilled to receive it. So a big THANK YOU Julianna!! She was recently awarded the Versatile Blogger award and rightly so. Have you seen her blog? She has the most amazing recipes. All so elegantly photographed, these are tried and true recipes. You must take some time to visit her blog and maybe try some of her world traveled recipes. Yes, that is right, many of her recipes are from places she has traveled such as Asia. And she does most of her cooking on the weekend, as she is an educator during the week. How amazing is that!! I don’t know where she finds the time to cook all these wonderful recipes but I am glad she does. 🙂
One of the great things about blogging is that you get to meet so many wonderful people. We have some of the best bloggers on wordpress, who are so supporting and kind to newcomers like me. Now it is my turn to pay forward and nominate some truly deserving blogs for this award. But first, as part of the rules, I will be sharing some facts about myself. 🙂
Facts about Me:
1. I love Peanut Butter, it is one of my favorite foods and I always have some in the cabinet.
2. My favorite dessert is Cheesecake, yet I have never made one for myself.
3. I have always loved the ocean and beach. It is my favorite place to go. Part of my bucket list is to travel to as many beautiful beaches as possible.
4. I actually enjoy cleaning house and having everything in place …just a little OCD. 😉
5. I prefer Summer and tropical climate.
6. I prefer the country and wide open spaces to the city and skyscrapers.
7. When I was in second grade I was hit accidentally by a baseball bat and required 42 stitches above my left eye.
Now for the Rules:
1. Create a post and thank the person who nominated you and link your post back to their blog.
2. Nominate 15 other bloggers that you think have a versatile blog, link back to their blog. Notify them to let them know they are nominated.
3. Share 7 little known facts about yourself.
And now for the most important part …the Nominees!
The Nominees Are:
Go Where no Sophia has gone before
Congratulations!!
