Kreativ Blogger Award

I want to thank Alicia at Boozed + Infused for nominating me for the Kreative Blogger Award.  This week has been an embarrassment of riches as far as honors go!  This is also a great way to get to know all your blogger colleagues.  So, 7 things about myself:

1. I attended a Montessori-like private Catholic elementary school that did not give traditional grades.  I also did not sit in a traditional desk until I went to public in the 7^th grade.
2. I did not knowingly eat grapes from 1968 until 2001 in solidarity of the Great Grape Boycott.  (I was an odd child)
3. When I was young, I played the piano, clarinet, flute, oboe and saxophone.
4. I am left-handed.
5. I have been to Sturgis, South Dakota three times, with the first time being with my parents in 1973.
6. I have one tattoo that very few people have ever seen.
7. I’m not much of a rule follower.

Now for the nominations:

1. Brianna at itsybitsybrianna because she is one of the hardest working, creative young women I have had the pleasure of following!
2. Gregor at Gregors Gourmet  because he loves to can and I love a man to cans!
3. The Diner at Dixie Dining because he takes me on a journey of eating at the finest joints in the south!
4. Granmary at Kitchen Keepers because she feels like home to me and she will to you too!  Go see her!
5. Rebekah at Little Miss Cruciferous because she does it all, while going to school!  One day she will be rockin’ a multimillion dollar grant at a land grant university running community gardens.
6. Tanner at tannerodell.com because this young man works more in one week than most of us will in a year!
7. Chica at Chica Andaluza because this woman leads a big life in a big way!  Go see her….you’ll love her too!
8. Holli at  splinteredvision because, as I said, I’m not much a rule follower – we were only supposed to nominate 7 –Holli is my daughter, I love her blog and you will too!!
