The Kreativ Blogger Award has been awarded to Reading, Writing, Working, Playing by The Anne Boleyn Files (if you haven't checked out this amazing site, I urge you to do so!).
Thanks, Claire, for the award--such a pleasant surprise to find this in my comments when I logged on this morning.
The award guidelines are that on receiving the award you must post 7things you love and then give the award to 7 other bloggers who are creative. So, here goes!
7 Things I love
1. My family - husband, kids, parents, brothers and sister and all their spousal units and kids and so forth!
2. Reading and writing (and working and playing) - a world without words is one that I cannot imagine
3. History
4. Traveling and coming home
5. The third rock from the sun and the little spot on it known as Colorado - it is so beautiful, a gem in the Milky Way
6. Tea with milk and honey
7. Gardening and cooking with my garden produce - there is no better way to feel connected to the earth
7 Blogs that Deserve the Kreativ Blogger Award (in no particular order):
1. BooksPlease - always interesting, whether Margaret is writing or posting photos or artwork, it's lovely to look at and thought-provoking
2. Elegant Extracts - funny, interesting, quirky, Theresa's blog is a joy
3. You Can Never Have Too Many Books - Susan and I have such similar taste in books...always a pleasure to see what I'll be reading next :)
4. Willow Manor - I've just started visiting this blog but the range of topics and art/photos makes it always a worthwhile time spent.
5. Bellsknits - I don't knit anymore but I love to visit this blog and admire the work and taste and passion that goes into the blog and the items she's made.
6. Echostains - another blog that is new to me but blows me away with the creativity on display. Cool, cool, cool.
7. My Cozy Book Nook - another new edition to the blogs I visit. Molly writes about books a bit differently from the norm, and I like that!
Thank you very much, Jane! I am very honored indeed.
ReplyDeleteHow was Ireland? Oh, I so want to go there!
ReplyDeletethank you so very much for the award, Jane!!! I am honoured too. I love your blog....oh, I see on Twitter that you went to Whitby. Oh, Dracula too - we have a picture of the abbey overlooking Whitby that i just love, as well as of the abbey itself. What did you think of Whitby?? You can send me an email if you prefer :-D
I'm not on Twitter, I can barely keep up with everything else now as it is!!
Thank you very much for the award and your kind words about my blog. I'm a fan of yours too.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on the Shakespeare book and think it's a great idea to have one for Austen. I've just not long finished reading Tomalin's biog of her, which is very good - I expect you've read it too?
I hadn't realised you're on Twitter, but then I've only recently started "tweeting" (is that the right word?)myself. Now, I'm going to pop over and read yours.
