Blooming Blog Award

Deborah Mori over at Life Without Novacaine surprised me the other day with this amazing little reward. . . thank you, I am so honored!  Deborah herself has inspired me endlessly, since the very beginnings of my blog.  Her life is like an open book, and she invites her readers to experience it with her through her fresh perspective and inspiring quotes.  Her illustrations are so whimsy and beautiful.  I love visiting and reading all of her posts and joining along in her journey.  Thank YOU Deborah, for inspiring me!

The rules upon accepting this award:

1.) Only one rule. Pass this award along to someone who motivated you, inspired you or enriched your artistic life with their creative gift. If you feel so inclined, you can create a short list of the things you love, your favorite muse, or your favorite childhood memories. The most important thing though is to award someone who has made your life better.

There are so many inspiring blogs out there, and if I wanted to, I could go on and on about all of the blogs I have come across that are so awe-inspiring.  Keeping this award sacred, I only chose 2.  

Two very important people who have supported me throughout it all, cheering on my accomplishments and checking on me when I haven't been posting.  Their artwork is amazing, and just as beautiful as the person that they are.  They have supported and encouraged my Etsy shop. They have sent me their creations in the mail, that I will forever cherish.  They are very dear true-blue blogger friends.  And blogging would not be the same without them! 

1.  Deborah Mori   
Yes, she awarded me this blooming blog award, and I am ritefully awarding it right back!

2.  Diana Evans

Perhaps the sweetest blogger around, and most productive!  Diana always continues to inspire me with her beautiful creations and artistic energy.  She is a faithful blogger friend who is always present, encouraging me along every step of the way.

Thank you both for making my life better.
