Thank you Ganeida for your nomination. Such a pretty logo! The problem with this award is often I can have too much to say, about things that only interest me .. and I've done a similar award before, so I need to check that I won't be repeating myself.
Okay, the rules:
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link the person who nominated you.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that no one would really know.
5. Nominate 7 other bloggers & let them know they are nominated.
Well, Ganeida actually inspired a few responses, so following her cue:
1. I am an eldest child. Very organising (not necessarily organised), and learnt to delegate jobs to my 8 younger siblings very well. I believe this is a good trait and freely exercise it now with my family.
2. Mum sort of started homeschooling me, as I didn't go to kindergarten. I still remember her teaching me to write my name on a blackboard, and making cut-out puppets with her.
3. When I did start at school, Mum cried in the doorway while I got stuck into playing with real clay for the first time. I don't remember her leaving.
4. As soon as I started learning to play the recorder, I couldn't stop. I was only allowed to practice up near the back fence, NOT in the house. Now that I'm married and living in my own house, I still play the recorder, but INSIDE!
5. I used to teach dance at a youth summer camp. In my time-out, I'd take advantage of the large room and speaker system, sitting back and listening to Dvorak's New World Symphony.
6. One of my favourite foods is a Chicken Curry Laksa, hold all the seafood products and with extra chilli on the side.
7. oooooh ... I've struggled to find this 7th one, but here goes: I'd like to explore my drawing skills more. My high school art teacher was very unsupportive of my work and 'turned me off', so I think I should try harder to turn that back on.
I'd like to pass this award on to some lovely people I've met in blogging land:
- Louise from The Fig Tree
- Sandra from Jumped the Ditch
- Melanie from Sweet Blue Sky Days
- Jeanne from A Peaceful Day
- Cee Lew
- Kendra from Pumpkin Patch
- Joanne from Thrifty's Garage Sale
- Rialla from With Both Hands
Okay, take it away ladies! :)

I really enjoyed this!
I had to play the recorder down the back yard a long, long way from the house as well but in my case I understand it. ☺
You are one very interesting lady!
Thankyou. I am delighted.
I will post soon. Also I have a task for you on my blog... If you have fun doing it, you're very warmly welcome.
Warm regards
Cee (aka Cathy, just for you ;) )
Thank you alecat for nominating me! I hope you don't mind, but at this point in time I'm not doing memes or awards. Its a time thing more than anything.
I've enjoyed reading yours, though.
P.S. I'm an eldest child of 4 and I know what you mean about organising without actually being organised!!
