Libster Award Nomination
The lovely and thoughtful Emily of notsonanna.com nominated roospotting.com for a Libster Blog Award. An
award! Me?
This is the best kind of award because it’s about spreading
blog love and creating a community. Both
of these things are high priorities of mine in 2015 and I’m super stoked to
participate.
Here’s how it works. I create a post about the Libster award which includes 11 questions Emily has posed to me. I in turn find 11 blogs I admire (with less than 200 followers, though this is not a super strict guideline) and nominate them
for a the award, asking them 11 questions of my own. Easy peasy.
Not sure if the rest of you occasionally lack topic ideas
but this is like a little freebie- plus it forces you to go out and explore new
blogs and give shout outs to your faves. As the band Rilo Kiley sings, 'You've got to give a little love to get a little love.' xo
Here are my answers Emily!
1. What was
the one thing that took your blog from a dream to reality?
It would have to be the support
and encouragement of friends and family when I started writing about my post
natal depression and anxiety.
2. Who is
your favourite artist (musician, crafter, painter etc)?
This is an incredibly difficult
question! I have a favourite in every
genre. Here goes off the top of my head:
Musician(s) Rolling Stones, Amy Winehouse, Dave Matthews, Led Zepplin, Jay-Z,
Missy Elliot, Coldplay, 90’s Alternative Rock....Crafter: Alexander Calder,
Painter: Michelangelo, Photographer: Cindy Sherman, Poet: John Donne
Playwright: Shakespeare, Director: Frances Ford Coppola, Actor: Bill Murray I
could go on...
3. Why do
you love your favourite season?
I Love Summer more than anything
because I grew up in the Northeastern part of the USA where we didn’t see the
sun (or the ground because it was covered in white stuff) almost 9 months per
year. Bring on the sun and the beach!
Autumn in New York is a very close second.
4. What was
the best moment from a birthday when you were a kid?
Probably my 10th
birthday when I had 10 girls sleep over and we stayed up all night trying to
freak each other out with games like ‘light as a feather,’ the Ouija Board and
Bloody Mary.
5. Milk,
dark or white chocolate?
Daaaaaark
6. Least
annoying / despised / boring type of house work?
Cooking
7. If
someone offered to make you dinner, what would you have them whip up?
Something healthy, tasty, and veggie-laden
8. Last
concert you went to?
Uuugh sore subject. I had tickets to see The Kooks in Melbourne a
few weeks ago but we had a wedding to attend (which was amazing BTW).
It's the second time I purchased Kooks tickets and didn't get to go. The first time I mixed up the dates. Ouch! To answer the question the last concert I
saw was The Lumineers at the Corner Hotel in Richmond. Excellent show.
9. Instagram,
Pinterest or Facebook?
Facebook, Instagram and
Pinterest in that order.
10. Do you
watch the movie first or read the book first?
Read the book, then the movie is
never as good. Why do I do this? Good question.
11. Are you
an early bird or a night owl?
A recovering night owl. I have a 16 month old daughter so I’m trying
desperately to fit in with the morning peeps.
Ok ya’ll. Here are my Libster Award nominees. Check out their blogs, they rock.

That's gorgeous Dawn! Sad about The Kooks though...third time lucky hey? Your 10th birthday sounds like a brilliant party :-)
Am I right Emily? Man I hope they come back to Australia again. My friend who went said she got the vibe they were winding down. Hope she's wrong! I was such a little freak at age 10- 'spose I still kind of am.
Thank you so much for nominating me, Dawn! You know how to make a new blogger feel spesh. loved reading this post!
