Inspiring Blog Award

What a wonderful surprise! Yesterday Nature Gal, who's photography is stunning, stopped by yesterday's blog & left me with this:

How cool is that? It was created by another blogger, Ida, also a fabulous photographer, with the suggestion to pass it on. I am going to have to figure out how to translate Norwegian so that I can effectively communicate to these 2 gals! So I'm passing it on to the blogs that I visit regularly:

Holly Brimhall: Mother, wife, sister, daughter, & photographer. She captures all the sweetness & optimism of the human spirit in her pictures. She has handled a difficult year with such GRACE--truly an inspiration.
Margot Potter: Bead Queen & so much more, for your daily dose of creative genius, inspiration, & "Super Girly Goodness." Margot ROCKS! And I discovered her through . . .
The Crafty Chica: Kathy brings her glittery sparkle to everything she does--and she does it all! She inspired me to build my first website. She prolly doesn't know that, but she is a champion for the DIYer.
B. Bliss: I adore this gal. Great photos & quotes, I love seeing the world through her eyes.
Lastly, to John Morgan. I know this award is a bit . . . er . . . floral, but you can get in touch with your feminine side. His Monday morning Grasshopper Notes ROCK & I read his blog every day, religiously. He really is a daily dose of *inspiration*

All that glitters...


XM Radio Guy calls it Charity Schtick. You know:
We're just here to raise awareness...cuz it's all about the kids...or the rain forest...or the animals...
The raising-awareness bit is always in there, no matter what the cause or event. Anyhoo, with that in mind, one of my favourite artists, Kathy Cano-Murillo, a.k.a. The Crafty Chica, is on a mission. Ellen recently dissed glitter and called for a ban. Well. Fans-of-glitter-unite! Join Kathy this Tuesday in front of Ellen's studio to picket. She has also tied this in to raising money for charity. Click here for all the sparkley details.
P.S. Blogger has been most uncooperative recently. It is refusing my requests for easy-to-read paragraphs like yesterday's blah-blah-blah Brimhall post, and apparently today's as well. Hehhhh...and today I couldn't log on until...now. Back tomorrow with something sweet.
