Rose Not quite an ATC and a Blog Award


Thanks so much to the wonderful Penny at Creative Overflow for this lovely blog award. I feel so honoured to receive this.With the award I need to name ten things you didn't know about me and list 10 blogs to receive this award. 
I would like to give this beautiful award to the wonderful people listed below.


...and really everyone listed on my sidebar-truly inspiring and beautiful!!!
Ten things about me-you might already know...

1. I moved from the city 2 and a half years ago. I was living in a remote community for the last two years (population 804). I am now living is a country town, (population 4000-5000).
2. I absolutely love my job as a teacher because I love teaching, but also because I can spend time with my family at school!!!!
3. Despite living in one of the most beautiful country towns ever, I am not a camper. I really appreciate the beautiful landscapes that surround me, but I am at a point in my life where I need creature comforts. 
4. I love reading. My most favourite authors are Stephen King, Juliet Marillier, Phillip Pullman, J.K. Rowling and Robin Hobb. I love books that take me on a surreal adventure. I need to read every single day and when I finish my book, I'm always a little sad...
5. I am so glad I started blogging. I'm extremely shy and blogging has been such a nice way to make friends. I am so thankful to every single person who has stopped by and left a comment. It's so nice to have that connection when you've moved far away from  family, etc. 
6. I find co-incidence, psychic moments and unexplainable events fascinating. I love hearing about true, weird events. If you have any, please share them with me!!
7.  I love music!! I have a wide range of songs I like to listen to from the 70s to now, some classical, some independent, but I am not an opera fan. Most of all I love listening to my girls playing their clarinets, keyboard and violin. I myself, play nothing.
8. I love watching movies.My favourites are The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Big Fish and anything directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
9. I love cooking!!! I love learning new recipes and trying new food, too. 
10. This year my husband and I will have been married for 17 years and together for 23-more than half our lives together. I think that's cool!!
Phew!!!

    Thanks for thinking of me for the award! You are so sweet!

    I will give it some thought and try to play, Sam.

    Life is a little hectic here, because we are renovating our house and I'm swamped with to do's.
    I hate to say that, but at the moment I can not promise, if I will find enough time to play.

    Wishing you a wonderful week!
    Thanks again,
    Gaby xoxo
