I *LOVE* my Bloggie Friends!

Hello, welcome and thank you for stopping by for a visit.  Don't you just love candlelight?  This dark and cold evening with snow flurrying and the roar of the infamous Columbia Gorge "East Wind" thundering outside made me light the intensely fragrant spicy vanilla candles in my lanterns on the dining table.  I have seen photos of candles lit and I just loved the image so much - that I took my iPhone to take an "artsy" photo using Hipstamatic App.  As a lifelong artist I just adore the look of this - the canvas background like it was painted by someone... you can see the white coral in my glass hurricane that is etched with fern fronds, and the candle on the other side of it is illuminating the coral.  
And just as I was ready to upload this photo I got the very pleasant news from my friend Robin over at "My Nest of Yarn and Buttons" that she'd nominated me for this blog award, below.  How sweet!
The duties of the winner is:

  • Thank and link back to person who awarded you.  
  • Share 7 things about yourself 
  • Pay it forward to some of your favorite bloggers 
  • Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.
My List of 7 things about me are:

  1. I am a positive and happy person as a rule.
  2. I am part Cherokee Indian and feel that my art and craft skills came to me from my "Indian Grandmother".
  3. Family is the best thing in the world and I'm so glad I had sisters! :-)
  4. Grandchildren are a wonderful gift.
  5. I met my husband when I was 14 as a freshman in high school.
  6. I love to sail.. we have two 14 foot Sunfish sailboats and a 26 foot sailboat named "Stargazer".
  7. I've only been blogging for 6 months and have come to love sharing my thoughts and photos and meeting new people. 

I happily present the Stylish Blogger Award to:

    Thank you for the award. I can see the Indian in your cheek bones.

    Someone awarded me this last week and the rules on their blog was 15 new to me blogs. I've barely had time to read my long time blogs much less new ones this weekend.

    I'll post for both of you on Thursday.

    Denise, I decided not to follow the rules and did 7 blogs instead of 15. These awards circulate amongst friend bloggers and so people get duplicates.. might be the last time I do one of these.. :-)

    Shanti, thanks! I do love to change the decor in the blog so it doesn't get "stale".. like redecorating the house, only cheaper! :-)

    Melissa, I'm so glad you came by to visit! I enjoy your blog too - was pleased for the mention in your New Year post! ::smile::

    Jane, I'm glad you left a comment, that's how I found your blog and I really enjoyed my visit there!

    Millie, love your story about your sweet dog. What a story!! Thanks for sharing.

    Erin, I'm so glad we met on the Rav site, We Love Lucy.. I think we've become good friends even though we've never met "in real life'.

    Hugs to you all!!

    Teresa
