The Versatile Blogger Award? Pour Moi?? yay!

Wow how cool was it when I saw this awesome award posted on my facebook wall from one of my artist friends Fher Ymas Visual Artist ( who in my opinion is a very talented artist ) I have never received an award for blogging before so I am very honoured that my little piece of the blogosphere was found interesting enough to be given one. So thank you very much Fher Ymas Visual Artist It is very much appreciated :)
Sharing the Award...

In the tradition of the award, I have to pass it to 15 different bloggers and reveal 7 random things about myself and paste the picture on the post. Soooo here goes....

1. I find myself quite funny.... my children do not

2. I could spend the entire day in art supply stores... love the smell of paper!

3. I read every night before bed

4. I am afraid of heights and hate spiders

5. If I could be anyone I'd still want to be me.... but a little taller and maybe a rockstar.....

6. I believe our spirit lives on after we die and believe in Karma

7. I believe that things always happen for a reason

So now that you know a little more about me I will get on with the business of announcing the 15 bloggers that I find very inspiring and uplifting. Please check them out and continue to be a part of mine xox
