Bring on the sun :)
I have been nominated for the sunshine blogger award by Holly Suzanne of the blog: life in relation to art.
Thank you very much for this 
Now the point of the award is for others to get to know you a bit better. I have already done the answering questions thing for a previous post(ref: A game of tag) so I think I’ll skip that part although the people who I nominate are welcome to say a few things about themselves I know, I’m breaking the rules (naughty girl haha)! I do like Holly’s idea of doing some art in lieu of writing points about oneself but unfortunately I do not have loads of artwork lying around and have to really be in the mood to create something so nothing new in the art scene (although you are welcome to check out the art I have already done)
So perhaps some pictures of some of the baked goodies I have made. After all, I love cooking and baking so that really is saying something about me 
And now, of course,here are my nominations for the award:
Thomas Rydder – a newbie but great to chat to
Poetry of a madman – a lovely mix of poetry, prose and photographs
Mama Cravings – about being a mama really
Author Jodi Ambrose – humorous, enjoyable short writing pieces
J R Barker – very interesting posts on writing
Dribbling Pensioner – one of my favourite blogs – great humour
Emaginette – a very strong woman
I hope you enjoy these blogs as much as I do

These are called Koeksisters. They are a type of doughnut.
Have a sunny (even though it’s raining outside here) day!

Thank you so much, Karen. I’m truly flattered and humbled about this…many of my friends would be aghast to hear that I had been associated with anything connected to the word “sunshine”
haha well now you can show them
Indeed…um…what do I do with the nomination>? Am I waiting to see?
copy the image, post it onto your site as a post with my link
then write a few things about yourself, or add pictures or art, whatever it is, as long as it’s about you! Then nominate some other bloggers for the award. Add their links and let them know you’ve nominated them 
Ok…got it…and as a “thank you”, I’m adding your name and site to my list of Goodreads authors. It’s on the “Authors I follow on Goodreads” page, if you didn’t see.
Thank you kindly
have a lovely day!
Karen thank you very much and i will add you name and site to my page.

Wow, thanks. I shall go and follow the instructions above… but first I must go out in search of cake!
You’re very welcome
To nominate someone do you have to submit their URL somewhere or is it just a link on my blog?
Hi I put links on my blog to the ones I nominated and then left a comment on each of their blogs
Cheers me dears.

Congratulations, but after eating all of those desserts, you’re going to have to start parking at the far end of the parking lot and walking in. lol
Cheeky
Wow! The desserts all looks so amazing! Especially the double chocolate gateau cake..
If you like chocolate as much as I do, you would love that cake! Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate
