I have been awarded .....!


....and it is now really high time to pass the awards on.

Just before the end of the year
I received this award....


from Debra

Acquired Objects   here



What an honor!  Thank you so much Debra!

*

Now, to accept this award I should list 5 things about myself, that others might not know;
but what can I say ???


1. I'm not a good writer and to be honest I actually don't really like writing.
It is not because I have no ideas,  it feels like a giant monster of a block
placing itself between me and my story, which is a plague sucking my creative energy.
Thanks god for the .....dots...... What would I do without them....:)


2. I'm hopeless with all the technical computer and web language,
Gadget, interface, html, URL, etc...  A "mine-field" for me, and it took months
for example, to find out how to copy-and-paste, create a link and to insert a video!!!
But I have to admit that I'm rather impatient...sometimes...with some things...

3. I like to act spontaneously
4. I love the animals, they hardly never argue or contradict me  :) :)
5. I would like to have sometimes a 30-hour-day or a 10-day-week or....
just more time to spend

****

 To keep this award going, each recipient should
recognize five deserving blogs who have less than two-hundred followers.

Here are the rules:

2. Choose five blogs to nominate and let them know by leaving a comment

  1. Karin! Oh hooray! I am so delighted! Thank you very, very much! And I was so happy to see that you also passed the award on to the lovely Elizabeth Eiffel. I will look forward to passing on the award, most certainly but it will take some time to think up five things that folks don't know about me since I am so chatty on my blog. :)

    And I don't know how I missed your New Year's post. Everything about it was so great--from the first images to beautiful Goethe quote to spoiling us with so many photos of Oskar! Only you would make him such a completely stylish cage--I had predicted you would and I was right!

    Trés Amicalement,
    Heather

  6. Dear Karin,
    Thank you so much for passing the Versatile Blogger Award on to me.....I'm not sure that I deserve it !! You are so kind to think of little old me !!
    I'm a bit slow at taking up the challenge of these awards, and have done so many that people might get fed up of hearing about me, but will do my best !
    Also, many, many thanks for all of your support and comments in 2011.
    Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year filled with many magical moments, love and lots of fun.
    Here's to more blogging friendship in 2012. XXXX

  11. Such well-deserved awards, Karin! Your five things made me smile, and can I just say that for someone who thinks she's not good at writing ... sorry, but you write really well!
    I do love the picture of Oskar at the keyboard - in happier times, le pauvre, I hope he is recovering steadily?
