Who doesn't love being a recipient of something special?
Gifts come in many forms, kind words, a gesture of appreciation, a simple hug, and blog awards!
Just this weekend I was honored with two blog awards, my first ever!
The first one came from a new blog friend who's wonderful work I found via another blog.
You can check out Micah's beautiful art and blog here: http://www.notionsoffancy.blogspot.com/
Following Micah's lead I am listing seven things about myself and listing
seven blog sister's that deserve this award and have made an impact on me through their sharing in blogland.
1. I am not a schedule person, more fly by the seat of my pants kinda of a girl.
2. I like small spaces my main studio is the size of a show box and that is fine by me.
3. I love old music like Billy Holiday and old Black and white films like Arsenic and Old Lace.
4. I am a people person and I adore animals.
5. I have to drink two cups of coffee in the morning in my pj's, I am not a morning girl.
6. I love to shop.
7. I love being and artist and can't imagine any other life.
Now for seven blog sisters who inspire me with their words,wisdom and work.
Donna Liljegren at Brynwood
Julie at Julie King Art
Jenn at Noodle and Lou
Shell in Bunnyville
Julie Heymaker
Silke at Metamorphosis
Cindy of Yapping Cat Studio
The other blog award I received is from my friend and blog sister Silke of Metamorphosis
Her blog is a tapestry of life, and beautiful art filled with color and texture.
I am blessed to call these women my friends.
Thank you Silke and Micah for honoring me.
Speaking of honor I was blessed a few months back to share my artistic gifts
in a very special way.
My brother Michael works for the Red Cross in Petoskey Michigan.
Recently the Petoskey staff suffered a great loss when one of their long time friends and co-worker lost her battle with cancer.
Wanting to honor her life and friendship, they asked me to paint a park bench as a tribute to her.
I was humbled that they would ask me to participate in the remembrance of their dear friend.
The bench is titled the River of Life,
and the painting depicts the various passions she enjoyed.
She was an accomplished pianist as well as an avid windsurfer and cross country skier.
The dedication took place in August at Red Cross of Petoskey where the bench will remain in memorial.
Be blessed my sisters,
xoxo
