An embarrassment of wealth

What a joy it is to be thought of fondly. I was give these awards and I gladly pass them on to 12 lovely bloggers. I encourage you to follow the links provided and discover the talent that awaits you on the other side.

The Honest Scrap award was given to me by both Victoria S. and Michele E. My thanks to each of you for the lovely honour.


*

The award has two components. You have to first list 10 honest things about yourself (and make them interesting), and second present the award to seven other bloggers.


My ten honest things:
1. I’m somewhat terrified of clowns.
2. I’m a list maker
3. I never forget a face but often times forget names
4. I love films, music and television shows from the 70’s
5. I’m sort of obsessed with reading the obituaries
6. I love the stone angel in cemeteries
7. I’ve never dated someone younger
8. Or shorter than I am
9. I’m a feminist
10. And a news junky

My seven nominees are all Gems. They have lovely hearts and I love visiting their space.

This love award was given to me by the very sweet Jacquie. Her blog is one I've been visiting right from the start of my adventure in blog land. She is very kind and is forever offering me words of encouragement. Thank You Jacquie.
The rules for this award: Put the name and link of who you gave this award on your blog.Then pass it on to five blogs that you think are amazing!These are the five I have chosen.

These are my five and all are artist in their own right or have inspired me in one way or another.

    Hey Simone, thanx for my second Honest Scrap award, I feel I'm becoming like Meryl Streep at Oscars now :))))
    And you've chosen a nice picture to present me with here :)
    I'm not sure about reading obituaries, but those stone angels surely are stunning and romantic ;)

    Love, Dezz, who hopes you'll enjoy his blog forever and for always ;)

    I shall display your award immediately up in my award shelf in HOLLYWOOD SPY's headquarters :)

    Thank you so much for the award, Simone. I really apreciate it !
    But I must say I have an award free because I haven't got enough time to accept them and give them. (perhaps I have to mention it on my blog ?) I also don't post a lot because of this lack of time.
    I hope you don't worry...

    Thank you so much! This is so very kind of you!
    I absolutely love stopping over here, if only to ogle your lovely pictures. (Of course, that's not to say I don't love reading your wonderful tidbits, too, because I very much do.)
    Thanks again!
