Kreativ Blogger Award

Hi Y'all,

Wow was I ever surprised when I read Cynthia's blog Antiquity Travelers and found out that I was one of the blogs that she awarded.  I first came across Cynthia in the forums at Beading Daily and I followed her blog.  I am always blown away with the beautiful creations she makes and her tales of her travels to other countries.  She also has very informative blog post about different beady interests.  If you don't already follow Cynthia's blog go check it out and read a few of her posts and look at all the lovelies she has on display.

When you receive this award, there are a few rules:
1. Post a link to the person who awarded you 
2. Share 7 well-thought out random things about yourself
3. Award to 10 other deserving bloggers and let them know

I always have a hard time talking about myself, but I will try, so here goes.

1.  I love my career as a Police Communications Officer, I have been doing it for 18 years.

2.  I love to bead weave.  There is just something about coming home after a long day at work and letting the world slip away with each stitch of those tiny little beads.

3.  My favorite color is pink and green is a very close second favorite.

4.  I enjoy being single. I will not say that I will not be in another relationship again, it is just for now I am enjoying being single.

5.  I have a beautiful Son that is all grown up and on his own.  I am very proud of him and his accomplishments.

6.  I am the oldest of five.  I have three Brothers and one Sister that is the youngest.  My Mom will be 74 on July 18th and is still going strong.

7.  I am over the moon happy with all the lovely people I have met through the blog sphere.  Y'all are the greatest!

OK now for the really hard part.  I follow so many wonderful blogs and it is so hard for me to narrow it down to just 10, so I will just say to all of those that I follow and that will read this post.  I enjoy each of your blogs and in my opinion you all deserve this award.

But since I could only choice 10 here they are in alphabetical order, because I could not put one above the other.

2 Bead Lola Bead Lola is a wild, crazy, lovable woman who does beautiful work.  She has been published several times in Bead Trends magazine.  Lola was my first ever Bead Soup partner and I had the pleasure of meeting her in person last October when I was in WI.

3. Crafty Hope Hope is a true Bama Girl through and through!  She always has something interesting to read about and to view on her blog.  We live in the same state, but have never met in person I think we need to do something about that. What do you think Hope?
