Liebster Award

Howdy Everybody! I was awarded! Yay :o) This time it's the Liebster Award  from Hannah. Thank you so much Hannah!

 So here are the rules: 

 When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person(s) who nominated you. You pass the Award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions. You’re not allowed to nominate the blog(s) who nominated you!

Hannah's 11 questions I had to answer:

1. If you had a time machine, which time period would you go to? hmm...that's a tough one. I'd probably want to travel back to the 1800's
2. Would you rather have a job as a photographer or a writer? Why? I'd rather be a photographer, because I would just really enjoy it.
3. Who would you like to meet most (dead or alive)? umm...I'd like to meet an angel...if that counts?
4. You're allowed to choose a new subject in school. What do you pick? Web Design? I guess...
5. Which fictional character would you love to play in a movie or theatre production? Most likely someone funny, I'm sorry....but my mind just went blank, and I can't think of anything :b
6. Do you think books are better than movies? Why or why not? I'd much prefer watching a movie, over reading a book. But, I wouldn't say movies are better for everyone, I know a lot of people who would much rather read a book than watch the movie. I just don't do a lot of reading, so yeah....I'm going for the movie!
7. What are your top three favourite songs? Well, at the moment....I really like Halle "We alright", I also like Jimmy Needham's "I will find you" and Capital Kings "I feel so Alive". (It's really hard to choose only 3 though)
8. Would you rather trek across the desert or travel the sub-zero tundra? Desert. Don't ask me why.
9. If you're going to college, what course would you want to take? something along the lines of Graphic Design probably.
10. What makes you awesome? Well, it really is hard to list just one thing, LOL but, I would consider being able to touch my tongue to my nose...pretty awesome. (and just plain weird) :ob
11. If you had one week left to live, what would you do? Yikes! These are pretty deep questions. Umm...I'd probably just want to make sure I told everyone I loved them, and I'd just try to do everything on my bucket list. 

11 random things about me:

1.  I don't like chocolate flavoured stuff, such as Chocolate ice cream, Chocolate cake, etc. Call me crazy! But I just don't like it.
2. Late last night/early this morning, I passed out in the bathroom...and hit my head off the tile floor. Now I've got a bruised face :(
3. I'm afraid of swimming in the ocean.
4. I believe this is the second Liebster award I have received.

7. I sleep walk.
8. I love the name Jae (for a girl)

I was awarded...

My lovely new friend Larissa from Papa is a Preacher awarded me with the "Addictive Blogger Award".  And it seems as though, I fit the description. I'm very addicted to blogging, I admit. So Thank you Larissa! I will try to do this right.

 

 

So basically what I'm supposed to do, is tell you a little bit about why I started blogging and then tag five other people. Here goes nothing!

 

I started blogging, really just because it was something I had heard about and really wanted to try. I did a lot of research, read a lot of other blogs, and just did a bunch of thinking. I wanted to be sure I knew why I was doing this, and what I was going to write about. I really wanted to make sure I wasn't just making a blog at an impulse, but that I was actually going to be dedicated to it. My very close friend Melanie also had a blog, and she helped me a lot with starting mine. So thanks to her help, in March I started In Real Life (formerly The Handmade Blog) and my motive hasn't changed. I blog because I want to inspire people with what I write and make. I want to share my life and interests with other people. And I love making new blogger friends! just as much as I enjoy Blogging. So thanks to all my followers, who make the blogger's world go round.

 

Today I'm going to award.....

 

1. Valerie from Savouries of Life

2. Alyssa from Solely Alyssa

3. Hannah from Thirsty World Designs

4. Anjali from L&P to English Tea

5. Kate from In Pursuit

 

Thanks guys!

Autumn's 11 questions and my 11 answers:

2 // If you could choose anywhere to go for a vacation, what would be your pick? Florida. To attend a drawing workshop with Lee Hammond.
3 // Have you ever eaten desert first? (guilty!) Oh yes. Multiple times.
4 // Did you cry at the ending scene in Tangled? (again, guilty!) No. But I did cry at the ending scene of Toy story 3. Go figure that out! LOL
5 // How tall are you? 5 foot 5? last time I checked...
6 // Would you ever go swimming in the winter? In an indoor pool or hot-tub, yes. Outdoors, no.
7 // If you could only have one thing for breakfast every morning for the rest of your life, what would it be? Smoothies :o) I love a good smoothie in the morning.
8 // Contacts or glasses? Glasses.....for now :o)
9 // What is one of your passions? I have a strong passion for Art (and God, but you said only one)
10 // What is the most embarrassing this that has ever happened to you? Ummm.....recently I was playing "I've never" with my youth group, and the guy in the middle said "I've never been a girl". I forgot how to play, and kept on sitting while all the girls got up and switched places. Oops :/ all the guys were like, "Emma-lee......you've never been a girl?" I was pretty embarrassed.
11 // Favorite Scripture verse? hmmm that's a tough one. I have multiple favourite verses, but one of them is 1 Peter 2:6 
For in Scripture it says, "See I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame".
