Thanks for the Liebster Award

Deana from “My thoughts on thesubject are as follows” has sent me this beautiful present - The Liebster award. I cannot put it in words how pleased I am (read my blog is) to have received an award. The blog has made a humble beginning towards a journey of many more miles. I am truly overwhelmed and honored with this love showered on my blog.

Having made my “thank you speech”, I will now receive this award, share some facts, answer some questions and nominate other blogs that I think are worthy recipients of this award.

Sharing facts:

Fact 1 – I prefer my mother’s cooking to all others.

Fact 2 – I love reading, mostly fictions.

Fact 3 – I love knitting and crocheting.

Fact 4 – I can’t drive, not even ride a bicycle.

Fact 5 – I am dead scared of lizards.

Fact 6 – I was/am Phantom, Mandrake, Jeanie, Bewitched, Different strokes, Small wonder and Cullen family addict.

Fact 7 – I am attracted to bracelets and anklets. At one point I boasted of a bracelet collection where I could wear them once a month without repeating.

Fact 8 – I prefer winters to summers, mainly because I love winter clothes.

Fact 9 – When it comes to shopping, I can’t resist buying jackets.

Fact 10 – I am a little short tempered. Ok. More than a little.

Fact 11 – Amidst job hunting, I am enjoying my home tutoring and writing exercises.
