Honest Scrap and Best Blog Award in one

Rebecca @ In The Garden  has given me two awards and I am really honored. but very very very happy to accept.
My first award is the honest scrap

The rules are:


A. Brag about the award.
The person who receives it ,feels really really awesome ha ha
and is inspired to keep on blogging and gets to ackowledge fellow bloggers who inspire you , so that others can also be inspired by them.

C. Share 10 honest things about yourself.
1. I am a christian , my whole life revolves arround Christ and becoming the person He made me to be.
2. I am usually quiet a happy person , which means I annoy the rest of the unhappy people
3. I love my husband and kids , I have been very blessed with a great family
4. My in-laws live with me. I didn't like it at first , but now I really appreciate them in my life and don't know how others survive without parents in the home.
5. My dad died just after Nicole was born and never got to see his first grandson Daniel and that makes me sad , especially when the yellow arums bloom.
6. I am a computer programmer and love it, it's the opposite side of my life inside and surrounded by technology versus outside and surrounded with nature.
7. I really don't like speaking in front , my heart beats terribly and my hands shake and I stutter. Terrible for me and the people who have to hear me .. *grin
8. I don't like to cook , but I like to eat
9. I don't like house work , but I like things to be neat and tidy
10. hmm I know my husband from 1993 , so that makes it 16 years

  2. Congratulations on both of your awards!

    I enjoyed learning more about you. Like you, I am a Christian and my family is so important to me. I lost my father suddenly just over 2 years ago and he never met my daughter, Ruthie.

    I like reading your blog and am enjoying spring for a second time this year through your eyes :0)

  5. Thanks Pravesh for the best award. I had already received the Honest Scrap Award very much earlier and you can view it in my blog.
    Its nice to know a little better about you, your family & all.

    I will hold on to the award passing for sometime as I notice few bloggers are appreciating me with them and I may have to sum them all & give all of them a big THANK YOU.

    Appreciate all your garden stories & hope to hear more about all of them from your side of the world. Happy Blogging.

  9. Hi Praveshee. Congratulations on your awards. You really deserve them. Your blog is rich in lovely images of plants (and fairies!)and you have an eye for the interesting, unusual and useful - you are not just the typical "pretty flower!" type of gardener! I was pleased to learn more about you from the Honest Scrap award. I too received the award only a few weeks ago and posted about it, so I am not going to repost. The most beautiful blog about receiving awards was written by Tatyana ( http://tanyasgarden.blogspot.com/2009/11/images-for-you-160-names-and-last-award.html )and she really sums up the delights and problems of receiving them in her post! Enjoy summer in your garden -I hope you and your family are going to be able to spend some extra quality time together in the coming weeks! Jack

  10. Good morning Praveshee! Now, when Thanksgiving is over, I have time to write comments. Congratulations on your Honest Scrap Award and The Best Blog Award! You have a very interesting blog which helps me and other people to learn more about your corner of the world. I would never see and learn many plants and places if not your blog. Your sunny, happy personality shines through your posts and photographs. Keep those posts and images coming!
    Thank you for thinking of me and giving me The Best Blog Award. I am honored! Attention and appreciation by other gardeners-bloggers is very important for me. I feel good knowing that a person like you reads my writings and likes my pictures. Happy gardening and blogging to you, and I see you around at Blotanical!
