First off I would like to thank Lin at Uggabear Cottage for nominating me for this award. These awards are given to new bloggers to increase readership (not that I am really a new blogger, but I guess with only 23 followers I qualify).
Now I will answer the questions she posted.
1. Why do you blog? (An oldie but goodie!) I blog more as a way of keeping a journal of what my days are like. I also find it a great way to meet new people from around the world and get to know them just a bit better.
2. At what age did you discover you loved being creative? I have never really considered myself creative in the true sense of the word, more a putterer trying my best to add a little beauty to my world.
3. What is your most recent creative endeavor? My most recent creative endeavor is the rug I have been posting about.
4. Do you like warm weather or cold? Why? Hmmm, lets just say I like warmish type weather more than cold. If it gets too hot or cold I just want to hibernate and get very sluggish.
5. What is your cheapest meal? My cheapest meal is probably a German dish that my mother and grandmother made called Glace. All it is, is flour, eggs, potatoes and onions. I think the whole meal only costs about $2.00 and feeds at least 6 people.
6. Do you like to use brights or pastels in your crafting? I am more an earth tones person with some jewel tones thrown in for contrast.
7. How did you come up with your blog name? My first blog was named In the Land of the Living skies and when I was locked out of it for some reason I just added the II after the name. The main part of the name comes from what is written on our car plates. As we are so flat (prairie girl here) the sunsets and sunrises are just beautiful. The sky is so big that the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky is constantly changing.
8. Is anyone else in your family creative? Who? My Mom was extremely creative. She could take a piece of fabric or a ball of yarn and make something wonderful.
9. Do you prefer books or ebooks? Can I say that I love both? I read a great deal and enjoy the easy access to hundreds of free books that owning an ebook gives me. However that being said nothing can take the place of actually holding a physical book in my hands. The smell, the texture of the pages, and the weight of a book just can not be replaced.
10. What is your favorite type of vacation...hotel, camping, cruising, etc.? My favorite type of vacation is one where I can hike, relax with a good book or some handwork and you can do that pretty much on any kind of holiday.
