Tributes

Bless Bettsi at Tender Arts for wanting to pass along the "Arte y Pico" Award to me! What a generous soul she is for the kind words she wrote when she bestowed this award.

The "Arte y Pico" award was created/made to be given out to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and their works, whether it be writing, artwork or more. When one receives this award it is considered a "special honor". Once you receive this award, you are to pass it on to at least 5 others. For more info on this wonderful award, where it originated, please visit Arte y pico at their blog.

It's only been recently that I've been able to feel any creativity whatsoever so I'm a bit speechless to say the least.  So I'll just get to passing on this award to those that have inspired me.

Margaret McInness from A Doll Shop of My Own, I bought a doll from her on my birthday and when I received it a few days later, I was truly captivated by the sweet little Treasure that is my doll. She does outstanding work and it inspires me to do my best on the dolls I make.

Martha of Jelliesjamsdolls, she jumped right in and gave me the warmest welcome and said the nicest things when I first joined the Edith Flack Ackley doll group. Her encouragement made me feel right at home, just like her blog does.

Ruth Wilson at Tricks and Manners, she created the Cloth Doll Makers group on Vox and I was very happy there was a place I could join right off the bat. Her dolls are wonderful!

Terri at Reikidolls, another great inspiration on the Vox Cloth Doll Makers group. She uses the neatest materials when she makes her dolls, makes me want to try that sometime!

and, Natalie at The Wades Blog, how she finds the time to create all the lovely and various things that she does in tandem with all the things required of a wife and mom, is definitely an inspiration!

You all are fabulous and I want to thank you all for everything you all write about, every photo you all share, every message you all send that helps your fellow artist along!!
