Kreativ Blogger Award

In response to receiving the Kreativ Blogger Award, here are seven things I love:

1. My Honey

2. Family

3. Photography (Painting with Light)--my main love, my life's purpose and an obsession that is not only satisfying and challenging, but meaningful.

4. Art--primarily Renaissance paintings, i.e. Vermeer, altered art and altered books, graphic design, layout, printing, publishing. reading, journaling, drawing and painting

5. Antiquing and Researching Rare Finds

6. Miss Kitty--a sweet, delightful, velvety-gray ball of fluff.

7. Rain on a Tin Roof, Thunderstorms, Sunrises and Sunsets

And, although it goes without saying, I'm going to say it anyway...I LOVE LIFE!

The recipient of the Kreativ Blogger Award is asked to pass the award along to others. This will involve thoughtful consideration. As I find outstanding blogs, I will give the award to them.

Thank you again DB at Vagabond Journeys for visiting and sharing this award with me. Your thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated.

The Kreativ Blogger Award

Thank you DB at Vagabond Journeys for honoring this journal with the Kreativ Blogger Award. As soon as I can, I will write more about this. Today has been a busy day...tommorow will be fresh and new. See you all in the morning.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

I have received the Arte y Pico Award. Thank you Judith Heartsong. Judith is a grand supporter of the arts and a talented, gracious artist. If you haven't visited her journal, please do. There you will find valuable information and inspiration.

The Arte y Pico Award was created originally "to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and their talents, be it writing or artwork in all medias" and is given to bloggers who merit recognition for their creative efforts. The Arte y Pico Award originated here.

This is the first time I have received this type of award. It is my understanding that a recipient may pass it along to five bloggers deserving of recognition. I also understand that passing the award forward (to other creative bloggers) is not mandatory. So...rather than presenting this award hastily, I have decided to wait and give this presenting matter serious thought and consideration before choosing recipients. I wonder...Can this award be presented to one person at a time? :-) And...is there a time limit on choosing recipients?

Again, thank you very much, Judith, for this award. I am honored.
