Hi!
So I haven't really done a blogger award for a long time, and I don't always like doing them, but this one looks fun, and it's been going around quite a bit, so why not? ;)
THE RULES
-When you receive the award, link back to keepcalmandsparkle1099.blogspot.com and the blog(s) that nominated you.
-Display the award button in the post.
-Answer all of the 12 questions given in this post (Do not make your own questions).
-Nominate 12 bloggers.
-Notify them that they have been awarded.
THE QUESTIONS
1. What made you decide to start blogging?
My dear friend Claire had a blog about her dolls, and I thought it was so cool, and I wanted to do it too! I started out with a private blog at the age of 9 (I didn't post on that one much), and then I stopped blogging for a while. I started up again a little over a year ago with this blog, and now I also have a design blog, and I contribute to Seven Faraway Friends! :)
2. What is your fashion style?
Hmmmmm..... Well, summer is my favorite season for clothing because I love shorts and tank tops (what I live in all summer ;). I like to be stylish, but also comfortable, so it depends on the day. ;) Some days I feel like getting more dressed up, and others sweats will do. :) I'd probably say that I lean more towards the stylish side, though. ;)
3. What is something none of your followers know about you?
Well...... ummmmm....... I read all of the posts of the blogs I follow, and from not being on the internet at all for about a week and a half, I had over 800 posts on Bloglovin to catch up on, and I read them all!!! :P Crazy, right?
4. What are some of your blogging goals?
I'd love to be able to post everyday with lots of pictures, and of course I always would love to increase my followers. :) I would also love to increase sponsorships with advertising and reviews/giveaways.
5. Where is your favorite place to shop?
Ooooh, that's hard!!! I love Abercrombie, Hollister, Gilly Hicks, Target, Delia's....... Yeah a lot of different stores. ;)
6. What would your ideal amount of blog followers be?
Infinity and beyond!!! :P
7. What are your talents?
Crafting, blogging, piano, working with animals, working with kids......
8. Are you a leader or a follower?
Um, well, that depends on the situation..... ;) I don't think I am either definitively.
9. What is one of your favorite quotes?
That's hard, because I'm not a big 'quote person.' I don't really have any pinned up on my bulletin board, but let me go check Pinterest to see if I've got anything on there. :P Be right back.....
Ok, I'm back, and now I have a few to share. :) I couldn't pick a favorite. :)
"Don't let school interfere with your education."
-Mark Twain
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
-Mark Twain
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
-Albert Einstein
10. Do you have a favorite book or book series?
Don't even get me started. ;) I cannot answer this question.
11. Out of all the synonyms for elegant, which would you describe yourself with {smart - stylish - dressy - graceful - dainty - fine}?
Can I choose two? I would probably say smart and stylish. :P
12. What is your favorite flower?
I'm not really a flower person (I don't know a bunch of flowers, but I always think it's sweet when someone gives flowers to another :), but I would probably have to say (don't laugh at how basic these flowers are) Day Lilies and Red Roses. :)
