Thank You

Today, Ngan of Enve Designs, awarded me with the Proximidade Blog Award. It means so much to be recognized. Thank you for this honor, Ngan!

Proximidade is described as follows: This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes for self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! This blog award should be sent to your favorite eight bloggers and they, in turn should forward to eight of their favorites. You should include the text for Proximidade (above) in your announcement blog.

The eight that I have chosen to receive the Proximidade Award are...

Lillyella, Uniquely You

Thank you to everyone who takes time to create posts, read blogs, and share in ideas of creativity. It's comforting to know that in a culture obsessed with technology and computers, we are embracing the ways in which it brings us together.

1. 2 years ago, I won a corset design contest for Frederick's of Hollywood which included a trip for two to Hollywood. They made my corset, and it walked down the runway with a the other corsets for the show. I took my my friend with me to share the experience and will never forget it! (See photo at top)

2. I have four cats, Charlie, Edwina, Minnie, and Otis who until we have children will serve as our children :) I spoil them as much as possible.

3. I'm a big sci-fi nerd. I love the old Star Treks.....such a high cheese factor! Some of my favorite current programs are Heroes, The Office, and Project Runway.

4. I love to paint, and hopefully will begin to pursue that more. I wish there were more hours in the day to do all of the things that I love.

5. In addition to "Etsy-ing" part time, I work full time for Kohl's Dept. Stores Corporate offices where I am a Digital Asset Specialist. Basically I color correct and retouch images for the Kohls website. I also do part time design work for clients.

6. I love my husband very much, and although he is not a perfect person, he is perfect for me. I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

And now I'm tagging:
