Award Sweetness

I received this wonderful award from the lovely Diantha a week ago, I am just now getting to it, thank you Diantha. How sweet it is to receive these awards of appreciation. I give this award to each and everyone of you, you all deserve it, so take it :-).

I have the next 3 days off and I am blissed out about it. I can catch up on housework (boring, but needed), I can start new paintings and photograph the two I finished last week. I get to post more and play and nap :-). And run. Did I already say play and paint?:-) (isn't it the same thing? :-). But tonight I am tired and I need to relax and do absolutely nothing at all. Happy Thursday evening! XOXO

More Awards!

Wow. I said a girl can't have too many awards, but this is crazy :-). I received this lovely Stroke of the Brush award from the wonderful, talented KJ. She is the Creator of the award as well.

I received the Queen of Alll Things award from the beautiful and talented Erin Davis. Both of these women are great writers and poets. I feel very flattered to receive these awards, thank you ladies. I am to tell you 7 awesome things about myself for the queen award.

This is sort of hard :-).

1. I love beetles, all kinds and for about a year I painted paintings of them.

2. I have dreams that come true, all the time,usually they are silly and have no real use :-).

3. I make friends easily and I tend to keep most of them for life.

4. I love all animals and if I had a bunch of money I would probably have a lot more cats and dogs, plus a few other species.

5. I have great faith in spirit.

6. I love to learn new things, all the time, it is one of my greatest joys.

7. When I read, which is often, I read slowly and savor each word. I think speed readers miss a lot, they don't think they do, but judging by some of the responses to my emails I receive by speed reader friends, I know they do.

Okay, now I am to name 7 bloggers to receive this award:

Dawn

Yoli

Starlene

Melanie

M.kate

KJ

Kelly

Sorry, Yoli, I could not get your link to work.

And the Stroke of the Brush award goes to:

Suzanne

Sorry I am so absent. I have had some work and my friend L and I have been taking photos of all my paintings. He is a great photographer and this is a wonderful thing he has done for me. We are doing a trade for the work. Here in Taos doing trades is a common way of doing business, thank God for that :-). In the next week I will have some down time and will attempt to come here and post a bit more often. Happy Tuesday! XOXO

Award Time!

I received this lovely award from the very interesting and talented Whitmist(Joey) and I am to tell you six roles that I play, so here goes:
1. Artist-I identify way to much with this role, but is is who I am most of the time.
2. Friend-This is a role that I love, because I love my friends, including all my blogging friends.
3. Spiritual seeker-This is who I am in a way, but I am really that which has already found :-).
4. Caretaker-I am good at taking care of things, people, animals, plants and houses.
5. Blogger-What a strange role that is :-). I didn't even know it existed 3 years ago.
6. Lover-That is what I try to be and I succeed about 75% of the time :-).
Now, I am to give this award to another blogger. I love you all, but this award goes to: Starlene.
She is very wonderful, check her out. Happy Thursday! XOXO

Award Time

I received this lovely award from the beautiful, smart and funny Dawn.

I am to tell you all why I blog and then pass it on to one blogger. I started to blog because it seemed fun and I wanted in on some of the action. I found a bunch of lovely, diverse people, mostly women, but a few good men and I fell in love with all of them and if I had more time, I would fall in love with more of you. We support one another in a beautiful way and I love the fact that we come from all over the world and so many different backgrounds. I love it here in blogland and I don't think I could do what I am doing today without you coming along with me.

You all help me be brave. Now picking just one blogger to pass this award to is so hard, but I will, I pick M.Kate, she has been here from the near beginning and has always left an uplifting comment and she has given me gifts and cards :-). I love you M.Kate. I love all the rest of you too! XOXO

Another award!
