I was nominated for two awards by my friend, Virgina, over at a- blog- from -the -heart. Thank you kindly, m’dear! 😉
So, first off…..
* * * The Rules * * *
1.) Thank and link back to the person who nominated you

3.) Answer the 11 questions asked by the blogger who nominated you
4.) Nominate 9 bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers
5.) Ask them 11 questions
6.) Let them know about the nomination
And, though I’m not usually a rule breaker, I’m going to have to break a few of these rules. Sorry! It’s just that I don’t follow a whole lot of blogs and most of the ones I would have nominated have recently been tagged (and some of these bloggers have mentioned that they don’t really have time to do the award post). However, I will do the facts & answer the questions.
* * * 11 Facts About Me * * *
1.) I just finished watching Man of Steel.
2.) It drives me crazy when I see someone wearing plaid and stripes together
3.) I almost always have these 4 things with me: pen, paper, camera, & book.

@ Fact 3 on Inspiring Blogger Award….You sound like me!!!! Though I know without a doubt that I am mainly Scottish and Irish. My last name even has the Scottish Crest and is actually one of the oldest Sir names into the world (like goes back to Viking times….)!!! I love learning about my ancestry, it’s just so neat!!!
I am honored that you enjoy my blog!!! Though I am kind of new here at yours, I have enjoyed reading and will definitely be back in the future!!!! Have a blessed day!!!

Thanks, Rayleigh! 🙂
How cool! 🙂 I love it too! History, especially my family’s history, has almost always intrigued me.
I believe I have more German (at least 1/4) and English in me than anything else. My last name is English & my dad’s family has been traced back to a 16th century (I think) English knight. I recently discovered that I’m more Irish than I thought– turns out my great-great grandpa was born in Ireland. And more Indian too, though we don’t know for sure how much.
Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy. 🙂 You too!!

Really? I don’t know why I prefer blue either, I just always have. 😉
Lol! I figured that’s probably what you meant. A profession..? Maybe a professional photographer, though not one who usually photographs people.
Thanks! I love my heritage! Learning more about it all the time! 🙂
Thank you! And thanks for the nominations too. I enjoyed doing the post. 🙂
