The Elegant Blogger Award


 I was awarded the elegant blogger award by Hannah 
 (I dont know why this is in all caps???)

THE RULES
  • When you receive the award, link back to keepcalmandsparkle1099.blogspot.com and the blog that nominated you
  • Display the award button in the post
  • Answer all of the 12 questions given in this post (Do not make your own questions)
  • Nominate 12 bloggers
  • Notify them that they have been awarded

THE QUESTIONS

1. What made you decide to start blogging?
      Well...I had recently stumbled upon some American Girl blogs, and was visiting them often and on January 1st of 2012, my sister suggested I start a blog because apparently she had one too..so I did and it started out as an American Girl blog, but has changed over time!

 2. What is your fashion style?
 T-shirts, shorts, jeans, sweatshirts, and some capris every once in a while. I know my style is brilliant! :D
 3. What is something none of your followers know about you?
Hmm..oh I'm wearing a headband with cat ears on it right now, I was wearing a tail earlier. (Just for a cross country practice, nothing out of the ordinary ;)  ) 
 

4. What are some of your blogging goals?
To keep blogging! Sometimes I get so caught up in what I'm doing, a couple years from now, the end of high school and college, it will be harder to keep up with.


5. Where is your favorite place to shop?
Oh man, this is no question to ask me, I can wander through stores for hours not finding anything! But I guess clothes wise.. Khol's, then other than that Target? I don't know... :)
 6. What would your ideal amount of blog followers be?
I don't really know.. I've sort of been sittin' at 36 for a while, 50 would be cool, but I don't care as long as the people who are following enjoy my blog!
 7. What are your talents?
 Well, I guess playing the flute, running, I'm a pretty good student.. idk..
 8. Are you a leader or a follower?
If it's my choice, follower, but I've been told I'm a good leader too.

9. What is one of your favorite quotes?
Hmm.. well, let me just refer to pinterest... I can't choose, here's my whole board: http://www.pinterest.com/emmasundy1/verses-and-quotes/
:)

10. Do you have a favorite book or book series?
 Oh my goodness yes!! Let me just name a few:
Christy Miller Series By: Robin Jones Gunn
The Mother Daughter Book Club By: Heather Vogel Frederick
A couple different series by Wendy Mass
And, of course, the Bible 
 11. Out of all of the synonyms for elegant, which would you describe yourself with (smart - stylish - dressy - graceful - dainty - fine)?
Hahaha, I guess I will have to go with smart.. (dainty, graceful, stylish, dressy, fine I think you've got the wrong person!)

12. What is your favorite flower?
I don't know.. I've never really thought about this.. I like all different kinds of flowers!!
Now on to awarding other bloggers.. 
 Hmm... I barely even know twelve other bloggers!
I don't really like doing this, but I don't know who has had the award and who hasn't soo.. I nominate my wonderful followers, because I love y'all!
Oh and I have a Pinterest and would love it if you stopped by and saw it!

Down by the River...








Look at that, I actually got a picture of an insect, a bee even!
 (No worries, nobody was stung in the making of this photo shoot)

     Argh! I cannot even express how busy I am now that school has started again! I would like to post more than ever now, because I am taking a photography class so I have lot's of pictures, and some with cool editing, but then it's all on my ipad (which our school gives every student) and for some reason I can't put pictures on the blog from my ipad. Soo frustrating!
     Anyway, I'm probably boring you, but I had my first cross country meet this morning, and I have realized that I need to take my camera to the next one!

So that's my life, how's everybody elses?
