I want to give a sincere thank you to AJ Irving at ajschildrensbooks for nominating me for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award. AJ is an award-winning children’s book author. She likes to inspire children to use their “mighty imaginations” and her children’s book Mama’s Purse does just that. I’m thrilled that she found Frog on a Blog worthy of mentioning on her site.

The award rules:

• Display the award on your blog
• Link back to the person who nominated you
• State 7 things about yourself
• Nominate 15 bloggers, link to them, and notify them about their nominations

Seven (positively boring) facts about me:

1. If I wasn’t a writer and a Library Assistant, I think I’d like to be a dog trainer.
2. I’m addicted to chocolate and eat it every day.
3. My mom has Parkinson’s disease.
4. I was a floral designer for ten years.
5. I was voted “quietest girl” in my high school class.
6. When I was thirteen, I got a parakeet that I named Birdie; she lived to be thirteen years old.
7. I get mega motion sick in just about any moving vehicle.

Blogger awards are a great way to spread the word about blogs that you enjoy. We can all use a bit of help getting the word out about our blogs. If I’ve nominated you and you’d rather not participate, that’s okay, but please consider giving a shout-out for some of the blogs you follow. Those bloggers will appreciate your support. 🙂
