Awards season..

So apparently, awards are something quite like buses..here they all come at once.

You can just call me 'The Versatile Blogger' from now on...because that's what the lovely Victoria at one of my most favourite blogs Tangled Sweetpea thinks I am....Victoria, thank you so much!! Have you visited Victoria's blog before? Do you think perhaps you should??

So, I tried to find out what exactly you have to do to be nominated for this award, I came up with nothing, but whatever the answer is, there are a set of obligations that come with this award which I will get straight into..

1. Add the award to your blog.

2. Thank the blogger(s) who gave it to you.

3. Mention 7 random things about yourself.

4. List the rules.

5. Award to 15 bloggers (I might not make it to 15)

6. Inform each of those by leaving a comment on their blog.

Sounds simple enough! So you want to know seven random things about me..I might be here a while trying to decide.

1. Although I am English born, I grew up in the heart of Wales, in a tiny village in the middle of no where that I called home for 20 years.

2. I speak fluent Welsh and was in the Welsh unit all the way through both of my schools. (this is a picture of   me dressed as a welsh lady for St Davids Day)

I am 3rd from the left.

3. I adore books...so much so that I studied English Literature for A-level and my Degree and I worked in a library for two and a half years.

4. I am a daddy's girl through and through.

Daddy!!

5. I am 6ft tall (sadly)..but I am the shortest in my family by a long way!

6. I live with my very best friend E and have done for six years (in different places). She is practically my sister, we are Chandler and Joey and I don't know what I would do with out her....If I ever settle down, I will need to have a spare room just for her!

This is an oldy..I am the non bespectacled one.

7. I plan to have a huge fancy dress party for my 30th birthday. My birthday falls 2 days before Halloween and it has always been a dream of mine to have a Halloween fancy dress party..a real one, where everyone makes a big effort. Do you guys want to come?

So that's me..I hope I didn't bore you with my photos.

Now to the important bit..my nominations. I am only going to choose five for now, all of which are truly deserving of this award because their blogs bring a smile to my otherwise average days..

1. Julie Rose Sews
2. Little Gem's Diary
3. Gem's Country Life Dream
4. Sweet Peas and Snowdrops
5. Teacups & Bunting

No need to feel obligated to join in, I just wanted you to know that I love your blogs!

Do please take some time to visit these blogs if you haven't before.

I will be back this weekend with a fun game for all my teacup aficionados to get involved with...intrigued?

With love,

Lexie aka The Versatile Blogger

Bring me sunshine...

Please do bring me sunshine if you can..I would be eternally in your debt!

Anyway..hello petals!

I am stopping by today to share my excitement...yesterday I was awarded the sunshine award by Amanda from Crafty in the Med. I was so unbelievably excited to receive this award, it is my first blog award and for that reason it really means a lot to me.

Blogging has been so much fun for me and I enjoy having it in my life, I have been meeting some lovely, talented people and to have appreciation from some of those people is just wonderful.

Amanda, you made my week...thank you so much for counting me in your ten nominees. If you haven't visited Amanda before then do please pay her visit and marvel at her sunny Spanish lifestyle!

The rules for this award are this:

• Thank the blogger than was sweet enough to nominate you..
• Answer the questions about your favourite things..
• nominate 10 of your favourite blogs (Not mandatory)

So now it falls to me to fulfill the requirements of this lovely award and first there are some questions for me to answer..please know that I am awful at choosing one favourite thing so don't be surprised if I have two, three or four favourites..

Favourite Animal:

Horses and Cats in equal measures, more specifically this cat...

Favourite Number:

12...I couldn't tell you why, it just always has been.

Favourite non alcoholic drink:

Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi

Facebook or Twitter:

Definitely Facebook although I do enjoy stalking celebrities on twitter!!

My Passion:

Most definitely my family! I also get very passionate about the places that mean the most to me..Wales, The Dordogne, Paris, New York and Cornwall to name but a few of them...there is also, of course, my love of tea cups...

Getting or giving presents:

Giving..no getting..no giving...no! It has to be both, I simply love thinking up present ideas, planning, wrapping..trying to keep the surprise. But, I love to get gifts too..who doesn't?

Favourite pattern:

I am addicted to florals. I love to wear ditsy floral prints and my home is covered in vintage style rose prints..

Favourite day of the week:

Friday...specifically Friday evening..it's the best feeling!

Favourite flower:

Fragrant climbing roses, sweetpeas and vanilla scented Nemisia..

Favourite Country: 

France :) Most of my family are there and I have wonderful memories of lovely sunny summers with them.

So there you have it!

Now I have a bit of a dilemma because all of my most favourite bloggers have either recently received this award or would not partake in it. So, this time I will not be nominating anyone..although that's not to say none of the blogs I follow are worth it..quite the opposite..everyone in my blog list deserves this award..and that's why you've already received it from other people...

Thank you again Amanda.

Lexie
