I got me an award :-)

I had been seeing so many of my beading friends receive the "Kreativ Blog Award", I wondered if/when I would get one too. And I just did :-)
The very sweet Sharyl of Sharyl's Jewelry and Reflections (store at: http://sharylsjewelry.artfire.com/) awarded it to me. Thank you, Sharyl! Glad you enjoy my blog!

 I had seen a pink badge on some of the blogs that I wanted to add it to my post. Googled for it, and found out how these awards originated. They go all the way back to May 2008. This is what the original "badge" looked like. And guess what, it was handmade, with good old paper and scissors! Love it! Click on the picture to go to the very first Kreativ Blogger Award post!




Moving on, the rules are:
1) Mention 7 random facts about you
2) Pass on the award to 10 other bloggers and let them know about it.

So here goes...random facts

1. I am the youngest of 4 siblings
2. I have 4 other blogs:
1. http://thisiamgratefulfor.blogspot.com/
2. http://anerimasissoapbox.blogspot.com/ - this was my first one. The name "anerimasi" on this blog means (to me) Aneri's Masi, which translates into Aneri's Aunt. I made many many many friends through this blog, and quite a few people call me "masi" (aunt) or aneri (my niece) because of it. Talk about identity crisis!!!
3. http://mewannabeaphotgraphertoo.blogspot.com/
