An Award, A Thank You, & A New Garden


Rue of Rue and Hyssop has very graciously bestowed a Blog Award on me. THANK YOU Rue! She is the sweetest!! You must stop by her blog for a good read! She (and her blog) are like a breathe of fresh air!

4. Name seven things people don't know about you.
5. Nominate other bloggers who you admire.
6. Place a link to these bloggers.
7. Leave a comment on their blog notifying them of the award.

So.........Here goes........

1. I don't like to eat fish.
2. But I LOVE shrimp. (they're a crustacean not a fish!)
3. I have a terrible temper (but most red-heads do!)
4. I don't like having my photo taken.
5. I suffer from motion sickness - no carnival rides for me!
6. I need at least 9 (or 10) hrs of sleep every night.
7. I am a packrat but am trying to overcome my habit!

And now to nominate some Bloggers who I admire and who inspire...

1. Grace of My Year in Haiku - I admire anyone who can write Haiku. And her's is great!
2. JoyceAnn of ~~~Feather Spirits~~~ . I admire her simpler way of life.
3. Grimdeva at Cauldron Craft Miniatures . I admire anyone who has such nimble fingers to create such miniature things!

And now for a THANK YOU to Frog Queen of Frog on the Pumpkin for an awesome mousepad (compete with a calendar and very cool pic of some of their tombstones) which I won in a giveaway that she was having. Stop by her blog for some nifty reads on old Amusement Parks!

And now for news on a NEW GARDEN. Actually it's more like a community garden.
Suzie of Cat In The Moon was inspired to create a blog about gardening and things Halloween. She has invited Becca of Magickal Seasons, the Frog Queen, and myself to help cultivate and nurture this little spot. It's just a seedling now but I do hope you'll stop by The Haunted Gardens now and then to wander the paths and see what a Magickal, Mystical Menagerie of Earthly Frights and Delights it is!

  2. Oh my stars, Jeanne! I'm a redhead too! Well, more auburn, and now more gre. .never mind. .I'm a "reddie" too! :-)

    And I'm not a big fish eater, but love shrimp, and if I'm not careful motion sickness will creep up on me.

    Ditto on the photo taking, too!

    And thanks for "pimping" our blog! I too was going to do so, and I think that Becca was too. I feel sorry for our mutual friends! They'll be bombarded! lol

  4. Red head with a temper? No! I have a sister like that!

    Thank you so much for reading My Year in Haiku and for giving me this award. As I knew, it is not as popular as my other blog was! But I am so enjoying it. You were my very first follower and I appreciate that.

    I read your every post here at the Candy Corn Chronicles and I still think you have one of the best blog names ever.

    Thanks again and have a wonderful week.

  6. I rarely eat fish...but I could eat a zillion shrimp. :)

    Motion sickness...it gets worse and worse for me the older I get. Even playing Mario Kart on the Wii makes me sick. LOL
