Blog Awards Galore

I recently received not one, but two blog awards ... both from lovely and creative ladies. The first one is from Kate in the UK:

and the other award is from the lovely Barb in Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia:

For the award from Barb, I'm supposed to list 5 things that I love and choose 10 of my favourite blogs, so other than my beautiful husband, my friends and relatives my top 5 things are:
  1. My fur-baby, Beau ... I never knew how much love I could give a dog until I owned one.
  2. Creating art and trying new techniques.
  3. Going to a craft fair, recycle centre or a flea market with my fellow arty friends and a great find at either that I can use in my art.
  4. Taking in the wonder of nature, whether on our property, beautiful vistas discovered on trips or just the sound of the ocean.
  5. A glass of good red wine and good conversation ... nothing beats it.
And I send both awards to the people listed below, if they choose to accept them:
  1. Kyla - beautiful art ... if only she'd update her art more often.
  2. Shelly - a gorgeous person and great artist, I'd love to see more of her creations more often.
  3. Nic - another beautiful creative soul
  4. Marion B - such inspiration and the postage people queen.
  5. Samantha - such a diverse variety of art.
  6. Elizabeth - such a giving soul and more great art.
  7. Jo - an amazing painter and creator of art dolls.
  8. Jen - artiste extraordinaire.
  9. Kathy - fantastic artist.
  10. Lynette - such talent ... and personality
  11. Kate - I'll be sending the 2nd award as her art is just beautiful.
All fantastic artists in their own right and even if they don't accept blog awards, I want them to know that I love to visit their blogs and look at their art.

Thanks ladies for thinking I am deserving of these awards.

hi again diana
i have to thank you so much for your kind words, introducing me to ATC's and visiting my blog.
well, just a question though, like if you finish an ATC and have nobody to trade them with can you just, Give them? like a gift, that's what i mean. because i was looking at your works and well... they're really beautiful and i'd just love to give someone something that beautiful as a gift. only problem is that i usually have problem parting with something i did (and love so much). :) or maybe you can give them away, but just like bookmarks not ATC's =]
according to the link you gave me, it seems like there are no particular rules to making these ATC's except for the size of it, is that so?

and thanks for your encouragement. today was my first exam day and i... did ok, i guess. sounds fine, doesn't it? it's not really, for i would have said i did "well" if it's me from two years ago. :) but still, i don't think i deserve anything "well" since i didn't really put in much work.

and (this is last): gawd i love your slide -artistic journey-

hugs and kisses
