One Lovely Blog Award

Today I had a surprise waiting for me in my inbox. My blog was awarded the "One Lovely Blog Award" by AliciaMae from the Blogfire Guild. Thank you AliciaMae!

According to the rules, I am to pass the award on to 15 more lovely blogs.

These are the rules that everyone who receives the award must follow:

1. Accept the award. Post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. In this case, it would be an award from me, LadyK from the Twisted Thicket Studio Blog.

2. Pass on the award to 15 other lovely blogs you’ve newly discovered.

3. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award. Remember, you can't give it back to the person that gave it to you!

This was a bit difficult for me, as I've run across so many wonderful and lovely blogs. It truly was difficult deciding on the final 15.

Drumroll please.......

Beating Winter Blahs

During the winter here, in the great white north, everything melts together in shades of grey-white. It can have a devastating effect on your mental health if you're not careful. One great way to beat the winter blahs is to surround yourself with color!

For BlogFire's Blog Carnival this week, the theme is Rich Colors and it couldn't have been set at a better time, as we are under a Winter Storm Warning for this afternoon and Friday.

Here are some colorful, beautiful pieces that will brighten the darkest of winters by some of the very talented artists on ArtFire! You can go right to the artist's shop by clicking on their images.
