Versatile Blogger Award

Given to me by  The Witch of Howling Creek

Although some may think of this as just another blogging meme, I am delighted to receive this Versatile Blogger Award from the Witch of Howling Creek.  It’s always nice to know someone enjoys reading my blog.

Here are the associated rules:

• Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post
• Share 7 things about yourself
• Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs you enjoy reading (I’m only going to do 3 because, like others have said, 15 seems like rather much.  3 is so much more Druidic, no?)
• Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award

Seven Things About Me:

1. When I was 7 or 8, I told my mother I wanted to be a witch when I grew up.  I then turned my dresser into the typical Hollywood witch’s altar complete with plastic cauldron, rubber spiders, and vials of colored water.  I really freaked my dad out that week…  And I remember setting it all up then not really knowing what to do next…

2. I used to be Catholic.  Went through the whole confirmation and everything…  Shortly after that, I began to rebel.

3. My mother taught me how to sew when I was 5 or 6.  My first creation was a pillow which I felt looked like the Earth.  I was convinced it should go in a museum.  Oh, how confident I was…  lol

4.  I met my husband at a Halloween party.  I was dressed as a medieval maiden and he was a Rastafarian.  We really didn’t talk to each other until a couple months later when he enrolled at my college.

5. We actually had our first date on Valentine’s Day.  A couple years later, we would decide the holiday just wasn’t for us and we haven’t celebrated since.

6.  I love to travel but don’t get to as often as I’d like.  I’ve been to a few states on the East Coast.  I live in Upstate NY but have never been to NYC (crazy, I know…).  As far as foreign countries, I’ve been to a couple Canadian provinces, parts of England, Paris, and parts of Ireland.

7. I used to want to get away from my family – now I adore them and wish they would move closer to me.

Three Awesome Blogs I Recently Started to Follow:

1. The Red Lass – A fellow seeker but also an herbalist!  I’m interested in her natural beauty products and just ordered some makeup remover.
2. Tairis Tales – This excellent blog, written by a Celtic Reconstructionist, shares lore from Celtic nations.  There has been something new and informative every day!
3. Stitch Witch Cottage – A fellow Pagan and artisan here!  I adore her creations.  Very inspiring!
