Hello, Kitten & Dawgs, Normally in this time slot, I share a little something about myself for you, my reader to ‘get-to-know-me’ better. As fate would have it, you find some questions near the end for you to learn more about this gal. Last year, I ventured outside my comfort zone to pick up my pencil to create art sketches and if you’re interested, you will find a reference to them here. This year I’m continuing my new-found passion but instead I’m using two new tools DH got me last year, an Apple iPad and pencil. I hope you’ll hang with me throughout April as I create iPad art sketches through the alphabet.
Hopefully, what I share with you every day will encourage you to do something that interests you that you’ve long put off because like me you just don’t think you can. My advice is, just do it! Maybe, you’ll be surprised. I know I was! 🙂
[tweetthis]This is my 5th year of the #AprilA2Z Challenge, please join me all month as I create iPad #Art Sketches. Today’s letter prompt “C”. #coffeecup[/tweetthis]
Mary from Cactus Haiku nominated me with the Liebster Award, which I kindly accept and appreciate. Here’s the official rules if nominated but like Mary I know many bloggers do not like to participate in a Q&A award. That being said, consider yourself nominated for the award and in a week you’ll find follow-up post to this with an official nomination declaration with your set of 11 questions to answer. However if you do not want to be nominated then sign your comment with “DN” for DO NOT NOMINATE or if you forget you can decline the award later. This is meant to be fun, not a headache. 😉
- What inspired you to start blogging? I self-published my children’s book, The Tale of Ole Green Eyes, and read that blogging was a good way to promote one’s work, so that’s how it all began. The rest is history as they say.
- Where would you like to travel to that you have not been to, yet? I’d love to see the west coast and many of the national parks on that side of the country. Maybe, after DH retires we can stopping dreaming about it and do something about it.
- What subjects do you find most intriguing (doesn’t have to be one you write about)? Generally anything that has to do with the past is very interesting. History was always my favorite subject in school.
4. If you could time travel, who would you like to have dinner with? I’m sure this is in terms of famous people but I can’t think of anyone I’d really want to have dinner with at the moment. I guess it would be neat to have dinner with President Trump and Melania. They appear to be a very likeable, personable couple. I think I’d feel comfortable with them, too.
- What is your favorite kind of writing style? Once upon a time I enjoyed writing fiction but I put that aside for the most part. these days, I write blog style meaning non-fiction accounting tidbits about my little world.
What animal do you think is cool and why? I don’t think any animal is particularly cool but a lion is very majestic, regal creature with the whole ‘King of the Jungle’ vibes going.
8. If you could be known for one thing, what would it be? That I put my complete trust in God no matter what I blindly place all of my cares in His hands regardless of the circumstances knowing He will provide a way through the storm. I’ve seen Him do miraculous things!
- Name your favorite movie/tv show/radio show/YouTube/podcast — just choose one, not all, lol. I just wanted to be inclusive as people watch or listen to different mediums these days. My fave is definitely movie/tv. This is one of our favorite ways to relax on the weekend. I guess my favorite TV show is “The Walking Dead”. DH & I started watching this series about four years ago after our kids telling us how great it is and were surprised to learn how the show cpativated us. Now, we’re fans.
11. If you could hang out with any fictional character for a weekend, who would it be? Doesn’t have to be a human one. Maybe, Pooh Bear. He might be full of fluff but he sure does make you feel better about yourself and the world in general.
Watch for the list of nominees and questions to follow sometime over the next week if I don’t get too hurried.
Do you have any sketch suggestions you’d like to pass this way? Inspire me! Tease me! Push Me!
Thanks for making me apart of your day. Don’t forget to leave your footprints in comments with your signature (URL) so I can find my way back to you. Please let me know if you’re a new follower, so I can do the return favor. I realized the importance of building social networks. Along with the A2Z hookup, you might find me participating in my usual daily blog hops with Stacy Uncorked and Eugenia @BrewNSpew this morning. Right now, I’m heading off to link up with other fellow AtoZers. Join me tomorrow for more Creating iPad Art Sketches!
