I just logged onto my Facebook page and received this lovely message -from Jane Glenholmes of Groovy Pumpkin;  Hello, I've got something on my Blog for you to pick up - please come and visit: http://groovypumpkin.blogspot.com/2010/05/kreativ-blogger-award.html. 

Of course I went right away!  Jane has awarded me the Kreativ Blogger award!!  There are rules to accepting this award, but they are pretty simple.  I just need to type 7 things that you may not know about me, then pick 7 people to pass the award on to, so here are the Blogs I'm passing this fabulous Award to, in no particular order:

I read and enjoy each one of these and hope you will, too.  Check them all out!!

Seven things you may not know about me...that may be a little harder to do...

• Although I'm pushing at 60 (a little too hard)  I used to be a bona fide hippie.  Back in the late 60s & 70s I lived a very loose lifestyle and truly enjoyed living that free life.
• My husband & I, with my friend & partner Annie, are opening up a brick & mortar store!!  We will be selling fine art and handcrafted items made by local artisans!  We hope to open in mid-June...I'll keep you posted.
• I love to read.  In my previous home I had a library.  When we moved into this home there was no room, so I donated 40 cartons of books to the public library!  I read fiction.  My two favorite novels of all time are The Stand by Stephen King, and Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane.  I don't really read "good" books, I love mysteries, thrillers and a real good "girl" book.  Book suggestion - Still Alice, about a Harvard professor who gets early onset Alzheimer's.  It's told in her perspective and it will break your heart.
• I do crossword puzzles whenever I get the chance.  I'm OK at them, not great, but good enough to enjoy the challenge.
• I thought I'd never be on Facebook!  I couldn't imagine that I would have any reason to!  Imagine...and now I have over 100 friends, over 300 fans (likes) and I even Tweet!
• I got a tattoo when I was 56!  My first one.  It's a crescent moon with golden stars tumbling from it.
• I would rather hang out with my husband than do almost anything else!!

I'm sure there is a lot more that you don't know about me, but a girl has to have a few secrets!!

Many thanks, again, to Jane from Groovy Pumpkin for this honor!
