Stylish Blogger Award

My first blogging award! Thanks Michele! You can see her blog at Mushroom Tender. She does some great posts, so I'm thrilled to be included on her list.

As part of the award, I'm supposed to say 7 things about myself...

1. My favorite color is red, followed in descending order by green, blue, purple, orange. I really kind of hate yellow.
2. I'm third of 7 kids. Yeah, 7. I wasn't consulted in the family planning.
3. My great aunt was an artist too.
4. I love dogs, especially my little mutt Penny.
5. I enjoy learning new things, and studying things with my niece.
6. I love water sounds -- as long as it doesn't have anything to do with faulty plumbing.
7. I really want people to buy bath tissue made out of recycled paper to save old growth forests!

Michele already claimed some of my favorite blogs, so check out her site to see her recommendations. Part of the fun of getting this award is that I can spread it around to 15 others, so check out these sites...

    AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! You are absolutely terrific! I just went through your catalog and I am so beside myself. Your flies! OMG! OMG! Be still my heart. Do you sell prints through Etsy or anywhere?

    OH, again, I always thought you are a terrific artist but I was wrong. You are absolutely most fabulous and wonderful. I love it when I see pure talent! Okay, now I need to calm down and get some sleep.

    Thanks everybody!! Spread the love! The only bad thing about this was that I couldn't put everyone on my list that I like. Maybe someone will give me another award sometime and I can fill out my gratitude with my other blogging friends.

    @Ces, I think I'm in love with you! You are excellent for my ego!! I haven't done Etsy yet. If people want to buy things, they can contact me directly. I keep thinking of opening a spot there though. Maybe I will?

    @Nancy, If we both work to get people on our side about the tp, maybe someday this won't be an issue any more?

    @Jane, 7 kids, and only one other is an artist. Not so sure what that says about genetics and artistic abilities :)

    Hi Linda! I was happy to share the "Stylish Blogger" award with you! You deserve it, for sure! I see some familiar blogs on your list- and will have fun visiting the new ones!
    P.S. It's great to learn more about you! We're both 3rd kids from large families,(as they often used to make 'em, back in those days). Look forward to discovering more as I follow your blog! :o)
