The Honest Scrap Award

I am very new to this whole blogging thing and I actually thought no one was reading this thing because I changed my template and forgot to put the Google analytics code in (I just discovered this today). So analytics was showing no views for over a week so I really thought no one was reading this. Apparently I was wrong because I have been graced with The Honest Scrap Award from a blog called Daphne's Dandelions. I am very grateful for this recognition. Thank You!

Here are the Guidelines of The Honest Scrap Award:

1. Brag about the award.
2. Include the name of the blogger who bestowed the award on me and link back to the blogger.
3. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that I find brilliant in content or design.
4. Show their names and links and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog.
5. List at least ten (10) honest things about myself.

I already covered the bragging and naming of my awarder earlier so on with the other requirements.

10 Honest things about me:

1. I got my bachelor's degree in fine arts with a specialization in ceramics. I am still working at a local family owned production pottery for the time being.

2. I originally started going to school for something related in life science. I took a ceramics class and got hooked.

3. I grew up in a rural area in the country on a small hobby farm. We moved to a largish city of one hundred thousand people when I was a senior in high school. I have wanted to live back in the country ever since.

4. I hate major league sports. I absolutely despise them for what they have become.

5. I love to eat canned smoked oysters on saltine crackers.

6. I am married, with an eight year old stepdaughter and have a baby due in March.

7. I am an avid deer hunter and try to eat venison as my only source of red meat year round. This is part of my effort to be as self reliant as possible.

8. Despite never finishing a paper on time in high school I have always enjoyed writing.

9. Out of thirty some-odd states I have visited my favorite is Wyoming.

10. Although I haven't picked it up forever I play the banjo.

My 7 brilliant blogs are (in no particular order):

 
 
1. Farmgirl Fare
2. Fishing for Words
3. My Tiny Plot
4. Tiny Farm Blog
5. Creative Thursday
6. The Contrary Farmer
7. Path to Sustainability
 
So there it is and thanks again!
