This is an award that I have created. I've sat on this for many, many months now, feeling way too timid to dish out an award. I thought, who am I to do this? Well, yesterday, I asked myself this same question and yesterday I had an answer. I am someone who admires other artists and becomes incredibly inspired by reading their blogs. I appreciate those who put themselves out there, exposing their work and minds. So, I am passing this award along to several blogger buddies who have been instrumental in awakening my creativity and blessing me with blogger friendships.The rules upon accepting this award:
1.) Only one rule. Pass this award along to someone who motivated you, inspired you or enriched your artistic life with their creative gift. If you feel so inclined, you can create a short list of the things you love, your favorite muse, or your favorite childhood memories. The most important thing though is to award someone who has made your life better.

WOW! I'm really honored and overwhelmed by your award. I know exactly how you feel. If I hadn't started following blogs and being inspired by their authors and artwork, I wouldn't have gotten back into creating in the first place. It's truly amazing how the blogging community has been the key. Thanks to you and all the rest for sharing your gifts with the world!
