Liebster Blog Award


First of all, I must admit to being derelict in my blogging duties. I was nominated for this award at the end of November and I'm just now posting about it! My apologies to Rebeca Trevino of Obtainium Art who thought I was worthy of this award. And just what is the Liebster Blog Award? Here is how Rebeca describes it:

'Liebster' means 'favorite' or 'dearest'. This award, which originated in Germany, recognizes up and coming bloggers and is meant to showcase bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers. This is all done in the spirit of fostering new connections.

As a recipient of the award, I'm supposed to list five blogs and carry the love forward. For now, I'm just acknowledging that I received this award and thanking Rebeca - hopefully I'll be able to carry out the rest of my Liebster duties sometime in the future!

Friendly Blog Award


I've been nominated for another blogger award! This one came from my blogger friend Shelly, who offers up the beautiful Paper Mischief blog. Shelly and I met at Art and Soul last fall, and have become blogger buddies, reading each others blogs and cheering each other on. Thank you, Shelly, for thinking of me. Okay, back to the award. Here are the guidelines that go with the Friendly Blog Award:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these kind writers.

Aww, shucks, Shelly. Thanks.

The requirement that goes along with accepting this award is that I pass the award on to six other bloggers. Ummm, that's tough because there are so many beautiful blogs and talented artists out there. But here goes, here's my list:

1) Laura is new to blogging, but check out her nice blog, Studio 332 (and you get to listen to some wonderful music while visiting!).

2) Anji is someone I've met through blogging and she is so gracious to read and post frequently on my blog. I'm appreciative of her dedication and she definitely meets the criteria of this award. So get thee to her lovely blog, On Ruby's Hill.

3) I've only recently discovered the blog of Randi Feuerhelm-Watts, but I found her because she posted on my blog after running into her name on my blog (is that confusing, or what?). I had mentioned her in a blog post because my Visual Journaling class had used her book of cards as inspiration on a journaling night. When I went to Randi's blog, I was all atwitter at the funky beauty of it. So now I know you're going to want to check out Randi.

4) One of my favorite blogs as well as favorite artists, is Katie of Joyously Becoming. Katie is just a beautiful woman in all ways and it is reflected in her blog.

5) A friend of Katie's and a very talented artist, is Judy Wise. Her blog is called the same, Judy Wise, so hop on over and get your fill of bright, vibrant, juicy colors.

6) My last nomination goes to a local artist who has a gallery/store in Salem, the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery. I only found out recently that Mary Lou has a blog, Mary Lou Zeek Gallery, so please check it out and leave Mary Lou a comment . . .


There you have it, my six nominees for this award. I've had a fun afternoon revisiting some blogs I haven't visited in quite some time.

I've Received an Award: I Heart Your Blog


I’ve been derelict in doing this post (shame on me) because it is a very exciting thing to share. I was nominated for a blog award: I Heart Your Blog by Helga Strauss of the delicious My ARTistic Life blog. What an honor. There are, however, a few rules that go along with accepting this award:

The winner can put the logo on her blog (if I can figure out how to do that!).

You must do a link to the person who nominated you for the award (gladly). The link to Helga's blog is above, but because I know you're gonna want to check out her ARTchix Studio website, you can do that HERE.

The winner then nominates at least seven other blogs (not a problem).

Include the links of these blogs on your own blog (easy peasy).

And now (drum roll), I would like to pass this award on to these inspiring blogs and blogsters (and in no particular order!):

Shelly and her Paper Mischief
Katie Kendrick and her Joyously Becoming
Bridget Benton and The Matchbook
Gretchin Lair and The Scarlet Letters

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out these blogs and the inspiring artists behind them.
