Just a little eye candy treat for my good blogger friend Jack (Slightly Off Center) who's recently back at it following a bit of time away.  Jack's is one of my favorite blogs, which I wrote about here and to whom we bestowed the Kreativ Blogger Award back in May.  Best of all, Jack is local!  I was so pleased when Jack 'came back' - she is a wonderful inspiration and I felt lonely for her wit all summer.

Enjoy!

Hope you're all having a great night!

 

Kreativ Blogger Award

How delighted were we when we opened up our page to see that Karen from Mama's Wood Shop had passed the Kreativ Blogger Award on to us!  What an honour!

We met Karen through Etsy Canada a site designed for showcasing and building community among Canadian Etsians.  In her etsy store Mama's Wood Shop, Karen makes very sweet wooden toys, including puzzles and teethers in adorable animal and nature forms.  Definitely worth a visit!

Of course, with great honour comes great responsibility (hee hee).  There are a few things that we need to do to accept this award, including:


1. Post the award on my blogspot. DONE

2. Thank the person who gave it to me.  DONE

3. Link to the person who gave this to me.  DONE - look up, way up...

4. Share a list of 7 things that you probably don't know about me.  DONE - look down

5. Choose 7 great bloggers to give the award to.  DONE

6. Share a link to their blogs.  DONE

7. Leave a comment on their blog.  DOING...

~7 Things you probably don't know about me ~

1.  I am afraid of cats.

2.  I married and remain madly in love with my junior high school sweetheart.

3.  I had trouble pronouncing my "rrr's" as a child.

4.  I am good at multi tasking: I can successfully use the bathroom while putting socks on a toddler.  While talking on the phone.

5.  I am a registered nurse who works in an intensive care unit.  (If you've read some of my earlier posts, like this one, you may have been happier not knowing this). 

6.  I have somersaulted down a full flight of hardwood/ceramic stairs (14 in total), landed on a ceramic floor and not broken a single bone.  I think the word graceful belongs in there somewhere.  Or blessed.

7.  I have never been to Prince Edward Island.  Or to Disney world.
