Today 17 September 2012 Picture Perfect Memories for Life received a nomination for  One Lovely Blog Award from Rebecca aka Clanmother/ChasingArt. ChasingArt  is relatively new to the blog scene  she launched her blog 1 May 2012.  Rebecca aka ChasingArt I am honored and accept this nomination. 

I believe there are a three rules  in accepting the One Lovely Blog Award.

1) Give credit to the awesome person who nominated you.

Rebecca aka Clanmother/ChasingArt thank you very much for this nomination. WOW!!! I feel so honored. Words can not describe how happy I am  right now. I feel like jumping out of my own skin….

2) Describe 7 things about you.

• I posted my first blog article on 14 May 2012 on WordPress. In the beginning blogging for me was just to share my photo’s with everyone but I did not really get noticed and I did not post everyday. I started posting on a daily basis from 1 April 2012 when I launched my Project 365 photo a day challenge. Since then I started getting very active. A week ago I decided to start participating in some of the challenges here on WordPress and I am loving every second of it.
• I am a  mother of two very busy boys. Armand my oldest 12 and Lian 11. I love them both to bits and they support my photography career 105%.My husband Ronald is my pillar of strength. He supports me 200% and I could not ask for a better promoter than him.  He is always dishing out business cards and telling people about me. It’s tuff being the new kid on the block.
• I was a full time Tax Practitioner  until November 2009 now I do Tax only part time. My husband bought me my first decent camera(Canon EOS 500D) beginning June 2009.  I did my first wedding from the sideline in October 2009 and my first official Wedding in December 2009.  With the help of my very dear friend Jackie During ( also started out as a bookkeeping client) my website Coreen Kuhn Photography was launched 24 January 2010. If it were not for Jackie I would never even considered changing my career. Thank you Jackie you are a friend in a million.
• I love everything in life that is beautiful.  I have a soft spot for children, the elderly and the sick. I love helping others and will give my last meal to someone who really needs it. In short I am a softy.
• I hate being alone for too long. I’ll rather surround me with the ones I love. Yes a break from everyone once in a while is great just me and my camera but I draw the line at two days.
• My favorite quote is from Walt Disney. “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I believe in this with my whole heart because I AM LIVING MY DREAM!
• My goal in life is to become a well known SELF TAUGHT PHOTOGRAPHER. I know I can do it and with my Heavenly Father, family, friends and my blogging community backing  and encouraging me all the time I cannot fail.
