A Karma blog award

awarded to me by none other than the sweet person and great artist, Michi.  Here is her wonderful and artistic blog -- http://michirhymeswithpeachy.blogspot.com/.  Please take a look, you'll be so glad you did.  She has also been published in a number of magazines  -- a dream for most of us.  Thank you so much for this award Michi.  I am honored and grateful.

The wording for this award is as follows . . .

The Karma Award: These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

Well, as I've been known to do at times, when time is at a premium, I'm changing the rules here.  Instead of passing on this award to eight artist bloggers, I choose to pass it on to three.  For those three, you can decide for yourselves how many to pass it on to.  Sorry, I hope no one is offended that I've changed or modified the rules.  I truly am grateful to receive this blog award.

And now I pass it on to these three artist bloggers, whom I think deserve it.  Please visit their blogs and see what they are up to, and view their singular art.

Blog Award

A while back I was honored with a blog award by Marianne Konvalinka, http://mkonvalinka.blogspot.com/ . I wasn't able to post it until now. Thank you so very much Marianne. I so appreciate you thinking of me, and I am honored to accept this award. Marianne has a wonderful, artistic, and interesting blog, so please click on the link and take a look.

Honorees please follow these instructions and share the LUV!
1. Put the logo on your blog or post. (You can highlight the photo and text of this post and copy/paste wherever you need to...start your highlight from the bottom up to get the photo).
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show GREAT ATTITUDE and/or GRATITUDE
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received the award.

All awards have their rules, which may differ with each award. Up till now, I've always followed the rules for each award and never changed them. However, this time I'm going to change the rules, in the interest of time, because it would take a lot of time to go through the steps of passing this award on to ten other people, time I don't have today. I hope that doesn't offend anyone. Different bloggers have different opinions of rules for awards and also for tagging. And sometimes I wonder, who makes up the rules? Does anyone know?

Well, anyway, I've decided to pare it down and pass this blog award on to two other people. And these are the people I have chosen to honor with this award.

Linda Themer at the Textured Turtle http://texturedturtle.blogspot.com/

Kim at Ruined Art http://ruinedart.blogspot.com/

Please take at look at their artistic and interesting blogs.

A New Award!

A few weeks ago, I was emailed by Jo Anne Owens of Paper Cat's Page that she nominated me to receive this wonderful award. Oh happy day, I feel very honored and I accept. Thank you so much, Jo Anne, for honoring me with this award and for thinking of me.

In accepting this award, I agree to:

2. Nominate at least 7 blogs to receive the award.

3. Add links to those 7 blogs to my blog.

4. Leave the nominees a message that they had been nominated to receive the award.

These are the names and links to the seven artist/bloggers I choose to nominate. When it comes to something like this, it's often hard to make choices and narrow it down. I choose these artists because I think they have great blogs, and do beautiful, inspiring art work, and would like to share their blogs with you, and to extend this great award to them. I totally think they all deserve this award. I love being inspired by other artists, and these artists definitely inspire me.
Please visit their blogs and enjoy their art works. The number of artists who inspire me is greater than seven, but I could name only seven for this award. Click on these names and that will take you to their blogs. Once again, thank you so much Jo Anne, for this award. I truly appreciate it.
