My First Ever Blogger Awards.

GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT! I RECEIVED A BLOGGER AWARD! And apparently it was worth the wait because not only was one award given to me but...THREE!

*fans face to keep from fainting*

And Melanie Stanford is the lovely lady who gave me all three!

                                 AND




Here are the Rules for these two:

7 Random Facts About Me
1) My favorite color is purple
2) I have this huge fasination with mermaids. I collect figurines, art, anything mermaid. And the darker the better. I have this whole world of theirs in my mind and I'm pretty particular about it. :)
 
3) I am a Twihard. There. I said it. And...
4) Seeing as I'm a Twihard, and I love all things mermaid, my sister and I play with each others pictures on Face in the Hole and according to the pictures, I've swam with a tail in the ocean and stood between Edward and Jacob's argument, with a smile.
5) I am horrible at cracking raw eggs. I seem to always get shell in the bowl and I end up having to ask my ten year old daughter to crack them for me.
6) I adore dogs! And my phone is full of pictures I've taken of my dogs. When I can, I love getting my grubby clothes on and rolling around in the dirt with them.
7) And the last one is, that I have been certified in three different professions. 1- Optician. 2- Childbirth Educator. 3- Birthing Doula. Hopefully I can use my experience in these very different professions when writing future books.


The last and in no way least award I received today is the:

    Awesome, Rachel! Thank you so much! And congrats to you on your awards!
    Always nice to learn more about you. I love mermaids too, and it's been passed on to my 5 year old daughter who loves them even more than I do. She wants me to paint them on the walls of her new room. So cute!
    And I didn't know of that site so I'm gonna have to doctor up some pics of her as a mermaid.
    Thanks so much for sharing!! :)

    I'm a Twihard too. I admit it. I even have a t-shirt that says, "Cullen Vampire Baseball League" and another that says, "I never got my letter to Hogwarts so I'm moving to Forks to live with the Cullens"

    Thank you so much, Rachel! Loved the modified pics! The Twilight one was funny, but the mermaid one was pretty cool. Your dogs are beautiful. One of the local K-9 unit dogs is named Vader because he breathes like him when he gets excited. Is there a story behind your Vader's name?

    Oh Funny Shannon! No, we named him Vader because his breed is gray and white and he's black, so he's different, apart of the dark side. :) I made the Twilight one and put it on a coffee cup for my sister as a birthday gift.
