What I Made Today

In the past week I have been given the Brilliante Weblog award by two fellow bloggers, Nici of ArtShapedWorld and Julie of Julie’s Art! How sweet is that?

Admittedly such recognition feeds my sometimes voracious ego, though not without a sweet dose of humility. In any event, I am reminded of the value to doing what is meaningful and heartfelt, because – you see – I blog for me and not for anyone else. I express what I want and what I feel in the moment. Selfish wench that I am. J

Selfish or not, it is time to pay this honor forward . . . though be warned, I'm not playing my the "rules." Shocked, eh? My Brilliante Weblog Awards go to:

• Very Mary of I am Very Mary, a blog that – most often – inspires a warm smile . . . or a healthy chuckle . . . and the occasional belly laugh!
• Jessica of Art and Life by Jessica Torrant, because she's a Connecticut Artist and I like her artwork. A lot.
  
• Kathy of Kathy’s Vintage Snaps and Scraps, a new favored blog, because she does such great things with witches! And then some.
  
• Freshie's blog, because she’s an inspired, creative and questioning syster.
  

Then there’s Annie and Kim, Tascha and Kittyism, and others that’s I’ve already honored with another blog award. So while I honor them again, I’m breaking “the rules”  and not holding them to these hoops to jump through! Because, if you ask me (and lets just pretend that you did), 5 is plenty, 4 will suffice and 7 is just plain overkill.

With that, thank you again Nici and Julie - I truly appreciate it! And to those I honor today, you may pay this forward by selecting favored blogs of your own to honor!

The rules (the one's I, well, you know...) of accepting are as follows:

1) Put the logo on your blog
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs
4) Add links to those blogs on yours
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.
