Apparently I'm a Stylish and Versatile Blogger!

Natalie of Free Spirit Designs just nominated me for my fourth Versatile Blogger award in June 2012. Both Marja of Roseberry Style and M of Vagabond Carnival were the first to bestow me with the Stylish Blogger and Versatile Blogger awards in January 2011, then Megan of Megan's Creative Blog gave me my third Versatile Blogger award in February 2012. Carol of A Creative Harbor sprinkled me with the Irresistibly Sweet Blog award and Marja awarded me with a Trophy Cup in August 2011. I shall display them proudly in the dust free environment of this digital page. Thank you, darlings!!

By accepting these awards, I now have the power to pick 15 more bloggers I feel deserve them, too! Congratulations to the talented souls of the following blogs:

Beach City Beader
Beaded Embellishments
Cara Makes
Elbit Blog
ErtheFae's Meandering Thoughts
Fairy Cardmaker's Workshop
Graphite Web
Gypsy Moon Art Studio
Mermaiden Creations in the Otherworld

The Auld Grey Mare
The Enchanted Garden
WillOaks Studio

I also get to share 7 random things about myself:

1. I'm a Squid.
2. But I don't smell like one - usually more like Japanese Cherry Blossoms by Bath & Body Works.
3. Homemade chocolate chip cookies tops that as my favorite scent, but only when it's wafting from real baked goodies that I get to devour.
4. I have reoccurring dreams where my teeth crumble out of my mouth. Perhaps I should lay off the sugar.
5. In any case, I definitely need to reduce my calorie intake! My weight loss goal for this year is 30 pounds. SparkPeople, here I come, yet again.
6. Thanks to the clearance at Target, I bought a shiny hula hoop filled with water. It's fun to swirl, but I wonder how many more calories I'd burn with one of those fancy weighted hula hoops.
7. I watch Fraggle Rock on The Hub Network while eating breakfast. I'm going to take their advice and dance my cares (and my fat) away!

    Thank you for honoring me with the blog awards!

    I have those same tooth dreams! Aren't they awful?

    And, one of my other on-line friends has lost a lot of weight and had a lot of fun by learning hooping. I don't know if she's using a weighted hoop or not, but she can do some really cool tricks now on top of being in better shape!

    - OMG - I have 3 recurring dreams and this is one of them! I looked it up once and I completely forget what it means. All I remember was that the book said if you swallowed the teeth, it meant you're pregant! If you spit them out it was some other meaning.

    (And dancing is a great calorie burner - especially if you dance like no one is watching and I really really mean it. Try it!)

    Thanks for honouring me in the stylish blog list!

    Congratulations on your awards, your blog certainly merits both of them and more.
    And thank you for thinking my little blog worthy of such awards, it is a true honor.

    Must agree with you that the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chips cookies is only matched by their delicious flavor.

    Fraggle Rock rocks! I've always loved Jim Henson characters, he is definitely missed in the Muppet world.

    I'm honored to get these awards...it may take me a bit but will do my best to pass them on!! So it blows me away to read about--your teeth dreams (I hate those & have them too) and your weight loss goal because mine is just the same...I'm having trouble getting started though, sigh. But dancing? You bet!! Why just save it for parties I ask????? Hmmmm

    Kristin,
    You are a sweetie, and definitely deserving of these prestigious awards.
    Thanks for thinking of me and passing these awards on to me and my humble blog!
    When you find out about what the crumbling teeth dreams mean, please enlighten me as I have similar dreams and am definitely not pregnant. LOL!
    Good luck on the 20 lbs, my goal is 15.

    You're all very welcome! And wow, I didn't know teeth dreams were such an epidemic! I've seen possible symbolic meanings from feelings of insecurity in appearance to money issues ... so, if I lose that weight and sell more artwork, I'll have both covered and maybe they'll stop? ;D

Handmade Giveaway: Spring Leaf Anklet by Erthe Fae Designs

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet! The spring leaf anklet above will bloom into a lovely addition to one reader's accessory garden. It is one of a kind, planted in the Erthe Fae Designs studio by AJ Reardon.

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
