End of Year Awards

What a great way to end the last couple days of the year, with two award nominations! I’d very much like to thank Miss Marzipan, who took time out of her crafty, do-it-yourself creations to nominate me for both the Reality Blog Award and the Sunshine Award! It’s always appreciated, when my words and sweet treats are well-received and recognized by such wonderful bloggers. And though I know we all don’t always have time to accept/participate, it always feels good to get nominated. I’ve only been blogging for a short while, but the feedback I receive from all of you and things like these awards make me think I’m doing something right and compels me to continue blogging .

Reality Blog Award

According to Miss Marzipan, I just answer the following questions and nominate other bloggers.

1. If you could change one thing, what would you change?
World peace or something to that affect. I’d make everyone fat and happy. Aren’t we all happier and peaceful when we’re eating something delicious?

2. If you could repeat an age, what would it be?
I’d be a child again, only to regain that innocence you only have at that young age and lose as you grow up. I love kids.

3. What is one thing that really scares you?
Never being successful with my goals.

4. What is one dream you have not completed, and do you think you’ll be able to complete it?
I have always wanted to write a book. Now that I found this love for baking, it might be a cook book. But I’d also like to write a work of fiction. I think with enough determination and lots of self-motivation, it can be done.

5. If you could be someone else for one day, who would it be?
I’d be a dog. I’m serious.
