Blog Tag

I've been tagged by the wonderfully creative Gabriela Delworth. Her blog is here. I LOVE the vibe and music on Gabriela's site - it really does make you want to stay around and kick your feet up. I hope she doesn't mind my long visits!


And here are the tag rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Now here are my facts - some random and some weird:
  • I love living in a southern city. Raleigh is not like NYC (which was the largest metropolitan area near my birthplace.) I love the fact that I have trees and grass and the convenience the city brings.
  • I have been working 4 books on home design, Journaldoodling, creative living, and gardening.
  • A couple of years ago, wanting to offer emotional support to my son, I watched him have a routine surgical procedure on his eyelid. Just as I was getting up to leave the office I nearly fainted from the experience. Now that's what I call support!
  • I think that reading blogs is in some ways better than reading a book or a magazine. It offers more direct contact with the author and I find that the best blogs are personal, real, and very imaginative.
  • I share a favorite dessert with Gabriela, it's Tiramisu too.
  • I have bragging rights to being the reigning Scrabble champion in my family.
  • My favorite design style is eclectic and inspired by travel, color, family, and life experience.
So those are my seven random facts.
And here are my 7 tag partners:
Maryam @ My Marrakesh
Ashley Sue - Green Grounded
Candace @ Lovin' the Look
Enjoy your visit to each of the sites above. Thanks again Gabriela!

You Make My Day Award!


What a crazy busy week this was. I was in Anaheim for the Craft and Hobby Association trade show. And for most of that time I was sick with the flu :-(
Traveling while you're sick is not a good thing. So I really needed a lift and today Maralena brought it to me! She has honored me with the “You Make My Day” award. I am so humbled, and really - this couldn't have arrived at a better time!


So here's what I need to do...


The rules for the "You Make My Day" award are to re-present it to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blog land. Let them know through email or by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times.

I've been tagged by BonBon Boutique - though I am REALLY late in my response!

***Here are the rules: Each player of this game starts with "6 weird things about you". Each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own 6 weird things as well as clearly state this rule. After you state your 6 weird things, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you're tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means.**

Here are my six weird things...

  1. I call my brother Bucky O'Hare - I think I got this from a cartoon character in the 80's or 90's but I can't be sure. My daughter says he is a macro dont. Kristen says in Latin Macro means Long and Large, and Dont means Tooth. Go figure. I never learned this in school :-) Sorry Dale.
  2. I sometimes, secretly hope my art doesn't sell because I want to keep it forever.
  3. I can still do a cartwheel but...
  4. I failed gymnastics in college because I came off the balance beam and twisted my angle. Not pretty.
  5. I use hidden messages in my art. Like another famous, but dead artist.
  6. I finished this list in less than 5 minutes because... I'm headed out for dinner on a Saturday night with my family.

Enjoy your Saturday night...
