Given that Susan has just been in surgery, I am going to take this day to create a lighter post to relax a little … tomorrow should be back to the Art Marketing.  I am delighted and amazed to receive the Premio MeMe Award from Carole of Art Plus Blog (readingsully2) and Pam of Always Artistic: The Blog – both who have very lovely artwork! Carole has a lovely blog Art Plus Blog and here is the post with all the details that go with this award – along with what she has shared.  Pam has a lovely blog Always Artistic: The Blog and here is her post with the details and her sharing. I am thrilled!! Thank you! An additional benefit – both of these wonderful blogs are involved in a blog giveaway – check them out to see the details!! What you need to do is very manageable!

Premio MeMe Award

The rules associated with this award are that I am to write seven little-known facts about myself, and then pass this award to seven of my fellow bloggers:

Ok, first 7 things about me:

1. I went cross county (the US and Canada) in a car in 1974 and it was one of the very best times of my life.

2. Taking off what Carole wrote – I truly enjoy watching Survivor and Amazing Race – they are the 2 shows I watch in real time – don’t call me then!

3. Again, taking off on what Carole wrote – I used to sing with Amandla (a singing group) and we sang in Boston when Nelson Mandala came to speak – he passed about 20 feet away from me!

4. I got mad about the treatment of women in the Last Tango in Paris (a movie) and I didn’t watch any movies for about 10 years.  Now I love watching movies – especially on video and DVD.

5. My daughter has been Mickey Mouse – in the real costume.

6. When I have the physical energy, I love dancing – being in the flow with unstructured movement.

7. I have a music box (a wooden carved squirrel) that my grandfather gave me when I was about a year old.

Here are my nominees … all very fine and hard to choose with so many great blogs!! Know that I considered YOU!! Thank you!

1. Jean Hood of Jean Levert Hood – Texas Hill Country Painter and my co-moderator of VAST and a delightful person

1. Sue O’Kieffee of Sacred Circle Mandalas – a very gifted mandala artist & good friend

3. Irene of The Green Stone Woman – courageous, strong, insightful and enjoyable woman and my most faithful commenter

4. Karen Faulkner of Karen Faulkner Art – creates colorful, delicate watercolors and you might remember I won her lovely painting

5. ZudaGay of Clay in the Hands – creates incredible clay mini-sculptures – they are incredible (I have one) and a lovely person

6. Brenda Thour of Brenda Thour – Wildlife & Landscape Artist – creates lovely art from nature and is a lovely person

7. Kara of 1000 Faces 0f Mother Henna – creates vibrant, fun art and speaks deeply from her heart and soul
