I received an unexpected award today from Donna B. over at Mystical Journeys. The rules say to...

1. Thank the person who gave the Award to you and link to their blog. (Thank you, Donna!)

2. Share 7 things about yourself that others may not know.

3. Nominate up to 15 other versatile bloggers who you recently discovered and who you think are fantastic (and link to their blogs too).

  

4. Let them know about the Award!

(Rules are flexible, in case you're not good with rules!)

My Seven Things

1. 
   
   I'm ambidextrous and can write the same thing backwards with my left hand as I am writing it correctly with my right hand.
2. 
   
   I used to write poetry.
3. 
   
   I'm the middle child of seven children - really in the middle. There are three years between me and my "youngest" older brother and three years between me and my "oldest" younger brother. Two brothers and a sister older and two sisters and a brother younger.
4. 
   
   I've always wanted to go on a missions trip.
5. 
   
   I wanted to be an archaeologist when I grew up and was fascinated with Indian ruins.
6. 
   
   I love to read but especially love historical novels that weave fiction in with facts. In middle school, I also read all of the biographies of the Presidential Wives that had been written (at that time). In 10th grade, I read 100 books in one semester (that's an average of 5 books per week).

I'm having the hardest time coming up with a 7th item. Does that make me boring? LOL!

     7. I collect angels.

Actually, all of the blogs that I follow deserve this award. So, if you're not listed in the list particularly, please count yourself a versatile blogger and feel free to pass it forward.
