Awards – Page 5 – Baydreamer Writes ~ Lauren Scott, Author

This took me by surprise, but I’m very appreciative of my nomination from two wonderful friends, Autumn & Gabby, http://autumnsunshineandgabrielleangel.wordpress.com/. Thank you both again! Your poetry and stories add magic to my life, create more smiles and laughter, even some tears, but it has been truly wonderful getting to know you two awesome twins!

As with most Blog Awards on WordPress there are stipulations that must be met upon acceptance of the coveted award. So, with the 7X7 Link Award the first thing you have to do is tell something about yourself that nobody knows. Hmmm…

This is something I really don’t think about anymore, since I’m well over toddler’s age 🙂 but, I do have a vertical scar on my forehead, about an inch long. It appeared after cracking my forehead open when I was around 2 years old, after running right into the corner of two walls! Ouch! Who knows what I was thinking, other than obviously not watching where I was going, while running around, having fun. I don’t have any other memories (a good thing), but I pretty much have worn bangs all my life. I’m more comfortable with them and maybe, just maybe they cover the scar, a little. 🙂

Now comes the 7X7 links to my pieces I feel are worthy to link up:

Next step to the 7X7 Award fulfillment is to nominate 7 bloggers (in no specific order) who I feel deserve the honor and hopefully haven’t already received it. If you have already received this, please forgive me…I just had to…! 🙂 Additionally, to choose only a few from the many wonderful blogs I’ve come to know is a very difficult task. The blogs below are simply wonderful; they have moved me by their words of art and photography, so I do hope you visit them soon. There are also many, many others I truly love, who have inspired and touched me, as well.

Congratulations to all of you, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!

To begin with, I would like to thank
http://caddoveil.wordpress.com/, http://autumnsunshineandgabrielleangel.wordpress.com/ and
http://versenotprose.wordpress.com/
for nominating me!

Being nominated once is humbling enough,
but three times is beyond comprehension!
All I can say is I am truly thankful and grateful for this recognition and
for these three wonderful blogs I’ve had the privilege of reading
and the awesome bloggers I’ve had the privilege of getting to know!
Thank you, again!

The award requires me to a) tell you ten things you may not know about me and
to b) nominate six or more other bloggers.

Here we go…

1) I am finally able to pet other dogs without breaking down (our dog died last month).

2) I drive a gold Honda CRV and I love it!

3) I love the mountains and hope to live there someday.

4) Although, I’m also a country girl, so living on a ranch with many, many, many dogs and animals, is a dream.

5) I used to love watching Home Improvement with Tim Allen and was sorry it ended.

6) I never colored my hair until this year, after turning 50, but it’s highlighted and looks natural, which is what I wanted.

7) I am very emotional (tears of joy, sadness, anger, etc)…I have more water than the water company! 🙂

8) I didn’t finish college. 😦

9) I share the same dream with many of you, to publish a book of poetry.

10) When I was younger, singing was my passion.

And now here are my nominees, in no specific order:

This list is truly infinite, however, I do encourage you to visit these blogs…you’ll find lovely words, beautiful images, inspiration and a melody of emotions.

Congratulations to all the nominees and Merry Christmas!
