So Sweet!

So sweet! Jenny of All Roads Lead Home was kind enough to bestow me with my first blog award! The award is for blogs with "Great Attitude or Gratitude" and she wrote the most lovely and kind words about me and my blog. (This is where I blush and get all bashful!) ;)

As part of receiving the award, I'm to nominate 10 other blogs for the same award (I'm still new at this, so I don't exactly know 10 different bloggers well enough...yet!!). Well, I'm going to do a tag-back and nominate the sweet and talented Jenny herself! Her blog is so full of life and love and kindness and joy! When I visit, I feel right at home. She invites you in, gives you a cup of cocoa (or lemonade, if it's summer) and before you know it, you're chatting and telling stories and making art! Her art is so heartfelt and endearing and reading her posts is like chatting with an old friend. She has a great, down-to-earth attitude and her artful journey is one of gratitude for the delicate details in life. Thanks for the inspiration and joy, Jenny!

Another blog I'd like to award belongs to the talented and spunky Catherine Witherell of Happy Day Art! Her blog invokes the spirit of this award and she certainly has a great attitude! Her blog is a mix of personal snapshots of her artful life and of her exquisite jewelry. She wears many creative hats and it is always a pleasure to read her blog and follow her on her many artisitc adventures! Her blog also inhabits the spirit of gratitude--being grateful for a life full of art!
