I was nominated for the versatile blogger award from caity rosey who is a very talented knitter and I always enjoy reading her adventures in knitting. She has a wonderful sense of humour and I always look forward to reading her latest posts.
So I checked out the versatile blogger award website for the instructions.
“When you consider nominating a fellow blogger for the Versatile Blogger Award, consider the quality of the writing, the uniqueness of the subjects covered, the level of love displayed in the words on the virtual page. Or, of course, the quality of the photographs and the level of love displayed in the taking of them.
Honor those bloggers who bring something special to your life whether every day or only now and then.
If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award.
Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. ( I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site.
Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.”
So without further ado here are 15 blogs which I read regularly and enjoy.

Thank you SO much, darling! What a sweet award! And thank you so much for including and liking my new blog as well, it really warms this little heart. ❤
#1 goes really well with #2. If you eat lemons straight and then don’t brush, you could end up with some interesting teeth. 😉
My mum actually brought me some lemon organic toothpaste for Christmas one year.
It was terrible. Not to mention my dentist always says I need more fluoride which natural toothpastes don’t contain.
I only used it once, when I promptly spat it back out in a most undignified manner.
Wow, thank you for nominating me!! I enjoy your blog so much, and I’m glad you like mine as well!!
Thank you so much for mentioning me! I can’t believe you eat lemons haha 🙂 Also, I don’t like brushing my teeth.. but I need to all the time because of my braces.. it sucks!
Oh the memory of attempting to brush teeth with braces.
I think my orthodontist was one of the reasons I hate brushing my teeth so much.
Brushing a plate every night was almost worse than braces but not quite as fiddly.
Wow, I believe that they really deserve the recognition. Thank you for the great list also. I also enjoy reading your post and looking forward for this great list. Thanks.
Ooh, thanks for the award. I will consider whether I can disclose seven facts… even if I can think of seven! Really glad you like my blog. Off to peruse the others on your list now. KL. x
