I received this Versatile Blogger Award from the very sweet and very creative Lai-Yoke! I love to visit Lai-Yoke’s beautiful blog walchow Design as there is always something wonderful to see, whether it’s tulips, a beautiful card or a gorgeous hand made bag!  http://walchowdesign.blogspot.com/  Thank you so much Lai-Yoke for giving this award to me, it is so sweet that you were thinking of me J !

To accept this award I need to

1. Thank the person who gave this award to me.  Thanks so very much Lai Yoke, you are the sweetest!
2. Copy the award and put it on the blog.  Done.
3. Tell seven things about myself:

1^st:  I am blessed with a wonderful husband, son, daughter and son-in-law.  We have two very old cats  (approx 17/18 years old).

2^nd:  I’m a country girl … I love to have trees, fields and wildflowers all around me. I love to hike, go for walks or just listen to the birds.

3rd: I hate bad traffic, honking horns and refined white bread .

4^th:  I love French baguettes, homemade soup and strong coffee.

5^th:  I don’t have a sweet tooth and was never too crazy for chocolate until my  girlfriend brought me home some chocolate from Belgium that was made with fresh cream  … that changed me forever … now I love chocolate!

6^th:  I love everything that is creative. That would include drawing, painting, sculpture, making hand made cards, cooking, baking and gardening. I’m so sad that there’s not enough time to do everything and work too!

7^th: When I make a hand made card, in my mind, I am really making a miniature piece of artwork .

... well , that's enough about me ... wishing YOU a wonderful week!
