Versatile Blogger Award

Today I got a happy surprise when I opened my emails. I had been nominated for a “Versatile Blogger Award” by the lovely blogger at Honourable Mentions. Her blog details her descent into madness, also known as psychology Honours (and now into Clinical PhD – congratulations!). So firstly, I’d like to say thanks very much! Secondly, I’d like to make some nominations myself 🙂

I hadn’t heard of the Versatile Blogger Awards until about twenty minutes ago, but they’re awesome! Here are the rules (I’ve seen a few different versions of the rules, but here is one version):

1. Thank the nominator on your blog and post a link to them.
2. Post links to 15 other blogs you read and enjoy.
3. Post a comment on the blogs you nominated to let them know.
4. Describe 7 things about yourself

So here we go:
1. Thank You!
Thank you again to http://honourablementions.wordpress.com for the props!

2. Other blogs

Because I’m new to blogs, I can honestly say that I don’t read 15 blogs, but here are a few that have tickled my fancy.
http://www.faithandfamilylive.com/ – because I’d love to be the matriarch of a happy family where faith is at its centre, one day
http://www.helpfulgardener.com/ – Has an amazing, vibrant forum full of very helpful gardeners!
http://liveaction.org/ – Inspiring young people and heroes to babies
http://www.motherearthnews.com/ – For all my self-sufficiency inspiration
http://randommusingsbymarie.blogspot.com.au/ – She is indeed a short short zucchini
http://thirdbaseline.blogspot.com.au/ – Whose pattern I used for my award-winning beanie
http://honourablementions.wordpress.com – This wee wee courgette shares my pain of the Honours year

4. 7 things About Myself (My favourite rule!)

            1. I’m the youngest in the family
            2. Je parle français
            3. I have a mole on the side of my right foot, matching one on my mother’s foot.
            4. I share my bed with at least one cat most nights
            5. I drive a white car
            6. Vegetarianism runs in my family (as does knitting)
