and again thank you

 

At this time I would like to thank Linda at Musings From The Studio for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger’s Award. I have long admired Linda’s work and her blog, and am even more in awe considering she has 6 children. I thought 4 was a handful!

When you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.  Here are the rules:

•  Thank the person who gave you this award.

Note that you do not have to participate.  I nominated each of you because I feel your blogs are fantastic and deserve to be recognized, read and followed.

And finally, here are my seven things about me:

I grew up in Lethbridge, Alberta and always expected I’d live in Calgary.

I have too much stuff to move.

I rode a motorcycle before I was old enough to get a driver’s license.

I love contemporary craft.

The first time I went to Europe, it was right after grade 9 and I went with a girlfriend. We were both 14. We had no plans – just Eurail passes.

I need to spend more time creating ART!

I can’t believe how hard it is to come up with 7 things I want to share!
