Sharon House over at My StoryART has nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award. Thank you for the honor Sharon! It sure makes me feel good to know that other artists are enjoying my art work and my blog.

I have to apologize to Sharon. You see she nominated me for this award back in November but with prior commitments and the busy holiday season I did not have a chance to get to this until now. Thank you again Sharon!

The rules of this award are pretty straightforward. I am to name 7 things that I love and pass the award along to 7 deserving bloggers.

There are so many great bloggers out there. I don't know if I can pick just 7

Wow, Arlene! Thank you for including me in your list of Kreativ blogs award! I'm honored!

I love your list, I'm tempted to copy & paste it for mine! LOL On my list of things to do today is "Buy the new Somerset Life mag, and find the Where Women Create mag"....

OH and I'd have to change your bread one to read, "I love the smell of fresh baking bread and I LOVE TO EAT THE WHOLE LOAF WITH A POUND OF BUTTER" (or something like that!)

Hope you have a wonderfully Kreativ new year!
Hugs, Heidi

I have been busy with the grandchildren and I am not getting enough art time for myself but this past weekend I had a chance to work in one of my art journals.

I like to prepare my background pages in advance. So what I will do is gesso the pages and then paint them. I usually have about eight pages ready to go. Then when I feel creative I don't have to wait for the paint to dry on the backgrounds. Thanks for looking Arlene

This is what happens if I don't pull my camera out and snap those pics first thing in the morning. The above picture is as close to the true colors as I could get today. Back to the dye..So I filled a medium pot about half way and threw the lemon balm leaves and stems in. I let it come to a boil and then I turned it down to simmer. My house smelled beautiful, nice and lemony. My husband complained about the smell. I have cooked down lemon grass in the past so I could use the fibers to make handmade paper and the smell was truely horrible. So even though the lemon balm just had a nice lemony smell
