Kreative Blogger Award! Come see!

Back in April one of my readers, Christi  (website, "living green in a colourful world") at this link below
http://fatbottombags.blogspot.com/2010/04/marvelous-monday.html
nominated me for a Kreativ Blogger Award.  I kept trying to remember to fulfill the requirements and have now finally gotten to it.  Sorry for such a delay Christi!  And thank you for the honour.

Here are 7 things you probably don't know about me:

1. I collect old paragon porcelain tea cups and accessories - in the fancy patterns with lots of gilding and those lovely dish style cups.
2. I have been following Flylady for a while and it appears to be working (most days, lol) - google her to see what that's all about - hint, it helps me stay sane in a chaotic home.
3. Houseplants stand no chance against my black thumb of death - outside ones do fare better
4. I used to have pet rats
5. I work in conflict resolution
6. I like soft boiled eggs with buttered toast 'soldiers' when I'm sad. It's a comfort food that reminds me of my grandmother
7. I used to volunteer for the SPCA and spent a couple of years as a volunteer coordinator since I loved it so much. (that's where all our fur-babies came from)

Now it's my turn to nominate some pretty awesome blogs for the Kreativ Blogger Award.  Definately worth a  peek - and you may just have to follow them so you don't miss out!  Here they are:

1. Rhondi over at Rhondis Rose Covered Glasses  http://rhondisrosecoloredglasses.blogspot.com/ has a beautiful blog and she just had a porch party.  A must go see - I loved it! 
2. Alicia of Posie Gets Cozy  http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/  also has a wonderful and creative blog.  She's got her first book coming out!  And I have to say, her little baby book on the blog is just so sweet.  Go take a look
3. Tracy at The Enchanted Cottage http://seasideenchantment.blogspot.com/  inspires me.  In her new home, she is having fun making it her own - and she's writing a story A Change of Heart.   Go and take a look (the story beginnings are on the left in the side bar under 'my writings')
4. Heidi at All My Scattering Moments 
   http://allmyscatteringmoments.blogspot.com/   will inspire you with her talent - she's an amazing quilter and I think she has a way with displaying things to look so pretty. 
5. Rhonda over at If You Do Stuff - Stuff Gets Done  http://ifyoudostuff.blogspot.com/ (don't you just love that name?) shows you that's exactly true!  I love her blog - and can't figure out how she gets it all done.  Yep, she's got talent!
6. Robin - Life with Robin http://lifewithrobin.blogspot.com/  shows off her nest.  And Robin has been developing quite the photographic talent (get it?)  I love looking at all her pictures.
7. Lesley has a new blog Country Roses and Roots http://countryrootsandroses.blogspot.com/ that I think you will love.  Beautiful pictures and some great thoughts there.
