Awards!!!

Now that my busy time of the year has slowed tremendously I've the time to acknowledge two awards that two blogging friends saw fit to bestow on me!

I do have to mention during my busy season I don't usually have the time to respond to the awards...that in no way means I don't appreciate the kindness or the thought...it just means some things have to wait!!!

The first award is from Mei, at Wire Bliss Mei. Mei makes amazing wire wrapped jewelry and has an extensive list of great tutorials of her work, stop by and say hello! Thank you Mei for thinking of me...
Mei presented me with "The Premio Meme Award"...the rules are simple. List seven facts about yourself and pass the award to seven worthy bloggers.

1. Jewelry is my first passion...photography is fast becoming a second passion, beyond the need to take great photos of my jewelry...reading is in there somewhere!
2. Always wanted to paint...or write a book!!!
3. I get side tracked easily, which is why there never seems to be enough time in a day!
4. I dislike "house work" and that includes cooking!!!
5. I love the sun, sand and water...should have been born in the Caribbean...or Florida at the very least!!!
6. I have a certificate in Criminal Psychology & Behavior and seriously contemplated getting a degree, 5 years ago!!!!!
7. I've developed a strong liking for chocolate in the last few years!

The second award comes from Mei...it is the "One Lovely Blog Award"...
All this award requires is to be passed along to 15 other blogger that are newly discovered.

Thanks again Mei...

My third award comes from Diane at That's What I'm Here For ...Diane is a gentle soul who who writes about life and everything that comes with it! Stop by and visit Diane...she always has something interesting to say! Thank you Diane for thinking of me for the "Over The Top Award"...

I've thought about what I should do regarding passing these awards along, because with three awards there will be duplication, even triplication...is triplication a word??? :0)
