The Sunshine Award is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspires others in the blogosphere. I’m so pleased to have been awarded one by Jennifer Wells, author of  Practically Dreaming and Magick Charm. Go check out her blog!

Here are the rules for accepting this award:

• Link back to the person who gave me the award.
• Answer the following questions.
• Nominate ten bloggers for the award.
• Link my nominees to the post and let them know about the award.

On to the questions!

What is your favorite Christmas/festive movie?
I love “A Christmas Carol,” the George C. Scott version especially. It’s a family tradition to watch this every year. There’s just something about Scrooge getting a second chance to make his miserable life worth living.

What is your favorite flower?
Daisies. Simple but elegant.

What is your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
I’m a tea fanatic. I have loads of it, loose tea, bagged tea, you name it. I just can’t get enough of it and I love finding tea shops to fuel my habit.

What is your passion?
That would have to be writing. 🙂 I’m beyond thrilled to finally see my book in print. Now I just need to finish book 2 and get another one out there!

What is your favorite time of year?
I’m from New England, so fall is definitely my favorite time of year, although I love winter also. I love the way the light changes in the fall, the brilliant colors on the trees, apple picking, warm jackets, hot cider.

What is your favorite time of day?
I’ve always been a night person. These days late at night is the only time I have to myself, once everyone has gone to bed. If only I didn’t have to get up in the morning!

What is your favorite physical activity?
Ha, ha. I avoid it if I can. I do like hiking, though I haven’t done that in a while.

What is your favorite vacation?
My favorite trip so far was to Scotland many years ago. I’d love to go back someday.
