versatile blogging

this blog is five months old - a joy.  it's a job, too, and i think about catching beautiful things to share with you wherever i go.  that's a wonderful habit.  if i can blog, anyone can.  so if you have a desire, just start! 


one of the best things about blogging is the dear friends you make.  
two of mine - 

leah of sang the bird
and janine of shambolic living
nominated me for the 
award.  thank you very much!

this a fun way to get to know other bloggers and the blogs they read. here are the rules for the versatile blogger award:

nominate 10-15 fellow bloggers
inform the bloggers of their nomination
share 7 random things about yourself
thank the blogger who nominated you
add the versatile blogger award pic on your blog post.

i'd like to nominate:













7 random things about me:
1. i have 7 siblings - a joy.  
2.  i am 47.
3.  i love handel's messiah.
4. just like ludwig bemelmans' madeline i like winter, snow, and ice (except when driving).
5. i don't drink pop, and could do without the tv.
6. i studied art history and am a passionate art person.
7. i can hoola-hoop.

christmas blessings to you.

    Congratulations from me as well. :) 5 months of committed writing is nothing to sneeze at! I feel like since I've been enjoying your blog, I've seen a few things in my own life that I might not have noticed otherwise. (I've thought - Noreen would photograph this!) :)
    I like knowing the seven random facts. Maybe someday you'll share seven more!
    Happy Monday.
