My first Blogging Awards

I've seen these on other blogs and was always wondering how they work, now I know thanks to Becky from

Preppy Premed who nominated me for not one, but TWO amazing blogger awards!! To me, this is amazing because I can remember when my blog was small and me and one friend were the only followers, now, I have 20 and I thank you all so much for your love!

Each Nominee Should:

1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award

2. Add an image of the Versatile Blogger Award

3. Thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link to their site

4. Share seven completely random facts about yourself

5. Include this set of rules

6. Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination

My facts: (sorry if I have said them already somewhere on the blog)

1) I am from Alaska and to this day it remains my favorite place in the entire world. (Noting that I've only been to like 6 states...)

2) I have been writing sense I was in grade 4 and finished my first full book in grade 6; however, the book kinda sucked and I can barely believe I wrote that...

3) I'm not going to lie, The Jonas Brothers are my guilty pleasure. Listening to their music always makes me happy and I love their songs.

4) My favorite TV show is Sex and the City even though I'm only 16.

5) My current favorite food is Hot Cheetos (I used to hate them but now they're amazing!!)

6) My favorite book series is Harry Potter with out a question. I'm a HUGE Potterhead. I own soooo much HP stuff and I'm proud of it.

7) I've recently developed the 'I don't care if you think something I do is wrong becasue I see nothing wrong with it and I know what's right for me' attitude and I'm sorta loving not caring what other people think of me. 

Rules:

The Liebster Award is for up and coming bloggers (200 followers or less) that you think deserve recognition for their fabulous blogging abilities.

Here's how this award process works...

Each nominee should:

1.Choose five blogs to give the Liebster Award to. 

2.Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

3.Post the award on your blog.

4.List the bloggers you gave the award to with links to their sites.

5.Leave a comment on their blogs to let them know they've received the award.

6.Share five random facts about yourself

My facts:

1) I like cold weather better than hot weather even though I love to swim and lay in the sun with my friends. It's just so much easier to warm up in the cold than it is to cool down in the hot.

2) One of my best friends and I have a plan to watch movies this summer and we've made a list of 37 movies and counting...

3) I sorta want to take up golf...

4) My favorite color is green because it's pretty and simple. 

5) I love taking pictures of clouds. I love in focus they are and how the colors play on each other.

Nominated Bloggers:

so... in the sake of time and effort (seeing as it's REALLY hot in Portland today and I'd rather not spend the entire afternoon working on this post) I'm going to nominate 10 bloggers for both awards rather than doing them both and ending up with a list of 20 people.

1) Tori @ Eye Candy

2)Carly @ I'mCarly

3)Alexandra @ My Blog Named Kip 

4) Nina @ Confessions of a Concealed Heart 

5) Jill @ A creative little mess

6) Anna @ A sweet Southern mess 

7) Alicia @ The Seeley Family

8) James @ The Various Awesomness of Music

9) Katie @ For the Record 

10) Holly @These are the moments...

Some of these blogs I am a new follower to, some are friends, some are blogging friends, either way, show these ladies (and James) some love for me :)
