My First Award

Many thanks to Stephanie over at Ruby's Musings

for nominating me for . . . 

I work hard on my blog & it's nice to know

someone is reading it!

PART OF THE DEAL:

7 Little Known Things About Me . . . 

1. My dream job would be a Disney princess on a parade float. (Do they hire people over 40 for this?!?)
2. I'm good at decorating spaces, but (inexplicably) cannot dress myself worth a darn! Weird!
3. I LOVE to eat (obviously this is not the little known part!), but I really dislike ginger, mint, anchovies, peanut butter & ketchup.  I can't even stand the smell of ketchup.
4. I met Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park actor) in NYC. I introduced him to my pals & he introduced me to his. I now consider myself not only a fan--but a close, personal friend! Ha!
5. I am crazy about dogs. We have a King Charles Cavalier named "Sam" -

      . . . and a Papillion named "Rebel" -

6.  I don't just do creative stuff for fun, I do it for sanity. Cheaper than therapy!
7. In many ways, my life is much better & happier than I ever dreamed it would be.

Another Part of the Deal:

(and much more fun for me)

I get to nominate some other bloggers for this award.

(The envelope please . . . )

The first blog I ever followed or read is written by Shan at

Shan hasn't been writing as much lately, hope she gets going again soon!

Aimee writes

and I absolutely love her taste and projects.

MAKE SURE you see her darling nursery.

 I could spend HOURS reading

Isabella & Max Rooms

Janell is a creative genius.

And finally, for one of the most inspiring people

on the planet.

all I can say is that you are REALLY MISSING OUT!

Stephanie, I realize you've probably already received 

every award out there, but I couldn't resist!
