Hangin' in the Sister-hood

It's not every day that you get nominated for an award.

However, the day that Susan of 2BSewing nominated me for the Sisterhood Award, I happened to be in Spain with only sporadic internet. That is my excuse for not posting about it sooner. Plus I'm not sure I know ten other bloggers to nominate. However, since there is no specified deadline for nominations, I am going to give myself a ten year timeline for the project.

Anyway, I am tremendously flattered to receive this award. Sisterhood is an important theme of my blog and informs everything I do in life. Here are the rights and responsibilities that come with the Award:

• Place the award logo on your blog
• Nominate 10 other blogs which show "Attitude and/or Gratitude"
• Link to the nominee on your blog post
• Comment on their blog that you have nominated them
• Share the love and link to the person who nominated you

First and foremost, a shout out to 2BSewing: Susan has so much artistic mojo, from sewing to knitting to photography to jewelry making to sketching (did I miss anything?)... that, to me, it seems like there must be extra hours in the day where she lives. However, I think her greatest talent is that she has a gift for sharing her knowledge and inspiring others. She has been a great mentor and resource for me over the last year.

So, without further ado, the Sisterhood goes to:
Magenta Sequins - The first blogger in my life, Magenta turns anything she touches into art. From her beautiful, award-winning photography, her interior design (seriously, her home is a work of art), to her jewelry, knits and and fashion sense, this girl has style... and attitude.

Dr Kiang - A scientist at heart (and in reality, too!), Dr K is a consummate tinkerer. I think this is why making jewelry appeals to both her artistic spirit and scientific intellect. She is also one of the most generous and thoughtful gift givers on the planet - she has a knack for picking out or making exactly what you always wanted but never knew it.

Eight more to follow, over the next ten years...
