Versatile Blogger Nomination & Nominees :)

I can't believe it. The moon-walk didn't quite cut it. Neither, despite my best efforts, did the 'Robot'. So, I've just finished running around the house like a crazy person making strange wooting noises that have caused my family to question my sanity (even further). A versatile blogger nomination! I feel a bit like Dobbie when Harry passed him the sock (but without Malfoy's Dad, so the analogy end's a couple of feet short of home turf...never mind).
NEWS FLASH: My friend Michele over at 'A Belle's Tales' reviews also nominated me but I only just found out. Thank you Michele!  - http://abellestales.blogspot.com/
Ok - here's what a versatile blogger should do upon receiving the award. This entry I largely grabbed from my friend Lillie McFerrin who nominated me. Thanks Lillie! http://lilliemcferrin.blogspot.com/


1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers for The Versatile Blogger Award.
2. Add an image of the Versatile Blogger Award.
3. In the same post, thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link back to their blog.
4. In the same post, share 7 completely random pieces of information about yourself.
5. In the same post, include this set of rules.
6. Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination by posting a comment on each of their blogs.


Ok - Here's 7 random things about myself:

1) Sometimes I feed my cat shrimp.

2) Once, I think I saw a ghost, but only discovered the possibility four years later when I read an article about the place I saw it - in a pamphlet about local ghost legends.

3) There is a rope swing out in the woods nearby. It's a really good one. When I get
the chance (which isn't often) I like to pretend I'm a ferocious pirate boarding an enemy ship.

4) I like to keep fit by walking and, on occasion, running. Sometimes in my wellington boots.

5) I have a Batman sticker on my laptop.

6) I used to make pewter goblins and faeries and sell them at craft fairs.

7) To help me sleep at night, I study the stars with a pair of binoculars.
