The blogosphere is beautiful

SEVEN RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME

I enjoy the sound of quirky words like “lollygag”, “codswallop” and “hullabaloo”.
My favourite cities are Toronto, New York and Barcelona.
I’ve read lots of books on Zen and Buddhism yet still … (read point below)
Seeing someone litter makes me MAD.
I love big, old gnarly trees.
Dancing makes me ridiculously happy.
My blog was just nominated for The Versatile Blogger award.

This week I had the unexpected pleasure of being notified that my Cheekytree blog has been nominated for The Versatile Blogger award by Sketches & Jottings – a wonderfully creative blog that looks inside the journals and sketchbooks of artists and other interesting people.

First, I’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Sketches & Jottings for your high praise: “An imaginative, always upbeat maker of amazing silk scarves, who writes as well as she designs”. It feels so good to be among your list of blogs that inspire.

The idea behind The Versatile Blogger Award nominations is to use these nominations to make others aware of other great blogs. So in return, I’m pleased to nominate the following. I hope you will enjoy discovering them for yourself.

10 Blogs That Inspire Me (in no particular order): My love of art, textile and surface design has led me to find these creative and interesting individuals from all over the world including: Canada, the United States, Scotland, Spain and Brazil. All of these blogs have sparked my creativity and imagination this past year with the inspiring art and design they have shared. These are my nominations for The Versatile Blogger Award:

These are the rules for the Versatile Blogger Awards:

Congratulations Lila…

I must say I’m not surprised by all the hullabaloo. You’ve never been one to lollygag, prevaricate or prorogue…and so this kind of insightful, playful blogging comes naturally to you….not like a lot of the other codswallop that’s out there.

I’d say I was gobsmacked at your nomination…but it wouldn’t be true.

much love and many blessings

I must admit I was gobsmacked. It’s nice to know somebody out there likes what I do.

Hi Again – Late, sorry, I am acknowledging the honor of your nomination of Canadian Art Junkie. Thank you so much. I appreciate it very much. That’s the blog I’m hoping will trigger some interest in Canadian art (obviously!) and to have it recognized is great. (And by the way, I agree with all the above comments on your own blog)
