Blog Awards

Monday, July 06, 2009

I was lucky enough to receive not one but two blog awards this week!


The first one is the One Lovely Blog Award from Myrarte. If you aren't familiar with Myrarte's work I strongly encourage you to take a moment to visit her blog. *The translator is about halfway down on her sidebar* The detail she is able to get into her paintings is amazing! Check out the hair and clothing!

I've suppose to do the whole list 7/name 7 for this one. I'm finding that's really hard for me as I have to try to remember what I've already babbled about in previous posts. Anyway, here goes:
  • Since I had my Lasik done about a year ago I am terrified my vision is suddenly going to take a nose dive.
  • Whenever our AC kicks on I swear I can hear music or noise from the TV in the background. Many times I've mistaken the AC for my cell phone. *Cory says it's just because I'm crazy.*
  • I bite my nails.
  • I worry sometimes I dress too young for my age so I try to be very careful when picking out clothing.
  • I wish I were the type who can have lush green houseplants inside and a beautiful flower bed in my yard. The only plants I have been able to keep alive are a bamboo in a jar and a cactus.
  • My favorite fruit is watermelon. In fact, I just cut one up this evening to chill.
I'm passing this award onto: Grubby Mittz Art Co., Pinkglitterfae Art, Mixed Media Martyr, Creating Art in the Burbs, Umama, Milda Malin, Lisa Lectura Creations



The second award I received this week is the Meme Award from Folk Art by Campbell Jane. I've been following her blog for a while now. Her bold use of color never fails to fascinate me! From angels to animals to food, you name it - she paints it. Be sure to check out her blog. You won't be disappointed.

This one is a list 7/name 7 award too.
  • I dislike going to blogs that have music playing automatically. Especially first thing in the morning. Grrr.
  • I really, really want to get my nose pierced. I've wanted to for years now but haven't because it's against the dress code. Now, if I weren't afraid I'd get laid off when we slow down at work I would do it regardless of the dress code. Oh but mark my words - IT WILL BE DONE.
  • I rarely clean my brushes after I use them. I've been known let them sit in water for days.
  • My wardrobe is made up of mainly earth tones with a few pinks thrown in.
Here are the blogs I nominate for this award: Artsnark's Artifacts, Carolyn Gallo Art & Design, Springtime Inspired, Artistic Accents by Darla, BlueRidgeLady, Art with a Touch of Whimsy, Wonder Wanda

Hope you enjoy the links. Thanks again to Myrarte and Campbell Jane!

Thank you so much for the award! And an apology - my log is one of those who play music... But you can turn it off, if you want to. And the first songs are very soft and gentle and wonderful...

Thank you Sweetie!!! And oops, my blog plays music too! But it can be turned off. I loved the stencil and spray paint!

Hey Jen, Wow thanks so much for the blog award! I've never had one before! Course, I've never kept a blog up for this long, either, but you have been a significant inspiration to me in that dept. It takes discipline to keep a blog in good working order, I admire you for that!

About the plants.. yeah, me too. I've even had bamboo die on me. Who can't keep that shit alive, all it needs is freakin water! Sigh. Silk ferns here I come!. Love ya! xoxo Stacy
