Award from a friend and talented artist, Lynn Stevens

We are never too old to get excited when we are surprised by the kindness and caring of others. Lynn (Trash to Treasure Art)nominated me to receive this award and in turn I am to select 10 blogs, one each day, of my blog favorites.

Do you realize how difficult this can be?

Here is how it works:
1. The winner of the Award places the logo on her blog. (The easy part)
2. She makes a link to the person who sent the award to her. (Mastered this one, too.)
3. She nominates 10 blogs (one each day). (This is where it gets difficult so not necessarily in order of my favorites, I'll do my best.)
4. She links to these ten blogs.
5. She leaves a message on the blog of the nominees

Day 1. Heather Taylor, Allen's World. Heather creates digital spreads almost every day to capture her son's adventures. Because they currently live on the Oregon Coast, a lot of her digital art incorporates the surrounding landscapes and ocean attractions. Her digital spreads are so gorgeous she should submit them for a coffee table book of the Oregon Coast. Heather has a second blog,Oohlalaartsy, where she features her personal digital kits, cards made and also shares techniques with her readers, plus she designs rubber stamps and maintains a large web site for another group. I hope you will take the time to visit her blogs. They are fun and inspiring.

Day 2. Gayle Page Robak, A Stampers Touch. I have known Gayle through workshops and through various Yahoo groups for a very long time. She is one talented lady from jewelry to cards to book binding to name a few. I selected Gayle for Day 2 because I have admired her talent and have learned a lot from the projects she shares on a daily basis. I also wanted to honor all of the members of Inka's Design Team whose blogs are a daily inspiration. To name each one would fill up the ten slots immediately. You can read about each member at Inka Stamps and view some of their work and also click on the links to the left to view their individual blogs. Also, take the time to view Inka's blog, Inkaland, because she is also included in my list for Day 2.

Thank you, Gayle, I am thrilled to include you in honor of your artistic talents and long friendship and as a representative for Inka and all of the members of her Design Team.
