Versatile Blogger Award


I just got my first blogger award the same week I topped the 200 followers mark. I've never gotten an award before but it entails several responsibilities. 
I'd like to thank Palimpa Lim at Schnitzkatschen for the award.

One of my responsibilities as the recipient of the award is to list 7 random things about myself.

1) I used to be a heavy equipment operator for the State of Alaska. (one of my first intaglio prints I made in my printmaking class was called "Even Plowgirls Get the Blues")

2) I'm not a pet person. I haven't had a pet in over 25 years although my yard housed a 6 dog sled dog team for 8 years. (belonged to ex boyfriend)

3) I've always had a hard time getting up in the morning

4) I have cute feet

5) Caffeine gives me night terrors and makes my arms tingle yet I still allow it into my system from time to time.

6) I can't drink wine, top shelf hard liquor agrees with me much better.

7) I was born on an island... 

I know some of you are "No Award" bloggers and also because a lot of us travel in the same circles that some of my favorite blogs have already been awarded, I am going to give a list of 15 links of some of my other favorites that you may want to visit. I know it becomes rather like a pyramid chain letter with ever widening circles but please have a look at these blogs if you wish.

1) a new york magpie's eye
2) angela recada
3) anvil artifacts
4) artist in the arctic
5) artymess goddess of fibre alchemy
6) moments of perfect clarity
7) in the light of the moon
8) itsy bits and pieces
9) reinvented voices
10) layers
11) el milagro studio
12) million little stitches
13) trailer park nirvana
14) a little bit of everything
15) Amy

I'd like to award one more to my Canadian neighbor that lives off off the same highway as our Alaskan home. It's another Kim from Letting in the Light
She's recovering from a head injury from ice hockey and it's been harder for her to blog lately but her work is quite wonderful


If you choose to accept the award here are the rules:

1) add the award to your blog
2) thank the blogger that awarded you
3) write 7 random things about yourself
4) list the rules
5) award 15 other bloggers

    how did you ascertain that it was the caffeine giving you the night terrors?

      Maybe you're thinking of Corrine at Dosfishes Pets never worked out for me too well. I could almost imagine having one now but our lifestyle wouldn't work for pet s right now with our moving every 6 months and all of our travel. My husband is more of a cat person but I would lean toward a corgi.

    Thank you, Kim. This may be only the second time anyone has included a specific link to my blog and I appreciate it so much. I tend to NOT think of me as a versatile blogger at ALL. Enough of that. I knew some of this about you. And it was a relief to have someone ELSE on the planet who is not a pet person. I keep thinking you guys had a dog at the house in Manchester... a yappy one. Could be wrong though!

    I love OTHER people's pets a lot, but I am just too selfish to be in charge of a life like that.

    Cute feet, huh? Hmmm... I have the ugliest feet on the planet.

    Anyway, I'm glad YOU got an award. I missed yours when you were gone.

      Yes, Brutus a wonderful mutt...he was more nippy than yappy. Always chased the paper boy and every car. We seemed to have mostly neurotic pets...any reflection on our family?

    It makes my arms tingle, too, we must have the same kind of nerves (I 'have' to drink loads of coffee in the am!)

    Thanks for including me in the award! You're right, eventually we'll all get an award but I feel good anyway;)

    Congratulations on the award, and on topping 200 followers! Thanks also for passing the award on to me. I am truly honored, and I look forward to visiting the other links you've listed, as well.

    I really enjoyed reading your list of 7 random things. Too much coffee makes my arms tingle, too. And I also have cute feet!!! :0)

    Lol, Kim, where is the pic of your cute feet?
    When I was a young girl, I always thought my toes were way too long. Now my boobs are. The heck with it! ;)
    Thank you for all the great links!!!!
    Needless to say that you deserve your award...
