I'm a Winner!


Lindy, from Lindy Legends, has very kindly honored me with this award:



If you haven't been by yet, please take a minute to check out Lindy's blog. She's a mom with a plan!

  So here's how it works:
 
1. Thank the person who gave you the award by linking back to them in your post.
2. Tell us 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers.
4. Contact those bloggers and let them in on the exciting news!

7 Facts About Me
 
1. I wish I could spend more time with my kids, and not just by them.

2.
I dream of two completely contradictory alt-lives. 
        
        Dream 1: Living in a city loft, very industrial with exposed vents and pipes. There would be stainless steel, distressed mahogany, and sheer whites throughout. The kids will attend private school, my husband will wear a suit, (as will I but only because I look hot in one) The windows must be left open at all times to achieve the blowing sheers picture in my head, and since the nearest big city is NYC, that might be a problem at times...
        

        Dream 2: Living deep in the country in a log cabin. We usually have bare feet, and there is never any harm in the kids calling a dip in the pond, a bath. I make most of the kids clothes, and home-school them. They love to help in the garden, and with the few animals, which sustain most of our needs. We are green, free, and finding that connection with the energy of nature...


3. I have a craft addiction. When I see something awesome, I never think where to get it, but rather, "How can I make that?"

4.
I love the smell of rain, and get psyched for a good thunderstorm. 
 
5. I am the messiest neat-freak I know ;-) Never will you find a mother so crazy as to explode over yet ANOTHER sock in the same place...again...who will walk by a Popsicle wrapper on the floor thinking, "I'll get it in a minute."

6. Summer is my favorite! It's like a burst of life (Isn't that supposed to be spring? ...Oh global warming...)
7. My love/hate of late? Pens. I really want to have a pen. A pen of my very own. But I can't seem to find the pen. I lost it long ago.





So in my final decision of this post, the 15 that I must choose from what seems like hundreds that I pop through, I decided to go with a theme. I like themes! The 15 blogs I have chosen are all a branch of Artsy. Some creative force drives these bloggers to create, whether it is in words, or a thing of beauty.

Wowers! I love how you talked of your 2 dreams. I think the same thing...I long for the big city life but then a part of me wants the simpler things. I just chalked it up to undiagnosed bipolar issues! LOL

Found you by way of the "I love my online friends" hop!
