The Sunshine Award and Some Favourite Things

Quite awhile back, Kay, author of Georgia Girl With An English Heart, presented me with the Sunshine Award .

The rules for this award are as follows:

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to them. (Thanks, Kay! I’ve linked to your blog, so others can discover the sunshine that you spread.)

2. Place the Sunshine Award in a post or on your blog. (Well, here it is...)

3. Answer some questions about yourself. (Coming up below...)

4. Nominate 5 - 10 other bloggers. (I’m going to stick with 5)

5. For the bloggers that you have chosen for the Sunshine Award, remember to comment on their
blogs and let them know about their Sunshine Award! (I tend to be lazy with this, so if you’re nominated, you’ll see it in this post. If you show up for this post. I know. Lazy. Sorry.)


Now, for the questions and answers section:


1. What is your favorite color?

Blue. But it wasn’t always this way. When I was a kid, my favourite colour was purple. I even had a purple winter coat one year that I adored. Blue took over when I hit my teenage years, and it’s been my favourite ever since. It reflects two of my most beloved things: the sky and the ocean. Many shades of blue appeal to me, but indigo, midnight and royal blue really catch my eye.

2) What is your favorite animal?

Because I am a huge animal lover, I expected it would be impossible to answer this question. But it wasn’t. I have an intense love for white tigers. They are majestic and striking creatures. In China, the rare and elusive white tiger is valued as the god of the west, Baihu, and is associated with the fall season and metal. White tigers appear often in pop culture as symbols of strength, beauty, and distinction.

3. Do you prefer Twitter or Facebook?

In general, I’m not much of a fan of either of these social circles, but since I never use – or intend to ever use – Twitter, but do have a personal page of the latter, I guess Facebook it is. And although I don’t care much for the personal accounts on Facebook, aside from receiving some news about friends, or sharing photos of events, I do like the pages that you can create for your company, your blog, your hobbies, news, etc...

4. What is your favorite pattern?

I really don’t have one. I’m more of a solids kind of gal.

5. What is your favorite number?

I have two actually. 4 and 7.

6. What is your favorite day of the week?

Friday. The weekend is just getting started at that point. Once you hit Saturday, you’ve already lost some of that time.

7. What is your passion?

The world. I am overwhelmed by the vastness and diversity of this planet of ours, and if I won the lottery, I’d travel till I dropped. There is so much that I would love to see. Mountains. Oceans. Cultures. People. Exotic animals. Nature. Life. The world and all it has to offer. With a camera in hand, of course. Oh, and the husband, too. Someone has to carry my camera equipment, no? [snicker]

So there you have it, folks. More of my secrets revealed. Now, let’s get to the nominees, all of which are terrific places to hang out at. Make sure you visit them if you haven’t already.
