honestly...seriously

seriously....honestly

Thanks go to AlpHa at Simplify for this fun award!  Do check out her most wonderful blog!

To begin, tell 10 things about yourself that are true:


1.  My daughter was born at home (with 2 midwives).
2.  I love looking through a camera to catch the play of light on an object or to frame a scene just so.  I started taking photos when I was a young child.  I am most proud of a photo I took of my cousins when I was 10.
3.  I love riding my road bike.
4.  I haven't met a craft I didn't like.  2 days ago, I screen printed with my son.
(a little note:  My son and a friend, Nancy, bought screens and equipment, studied the procedures, and made our screens some weeks ago.  Nancy's etsy shop.
5.  I have a degree in zoology.
6.  I am a lover of cats.  My first cat was named Chocolate.
7.  I love to travel to places of beauty.
HERE is one of my travel posts.
8.  I love to read.  When I was young I would read late at night with a flashlight under the bed covers.
9.  I love the beach.

10. With a friend, I once created and ran a camp (for 3 years) where we taught children nature, art, science, music, and movement.  It was a blast.

  3. hi -- just wanted to thank you for dropping by our blog. I'm not crafty at all, but I love your photos and posts and will learn from them.

    I liked the list of 10 things -- esp. the one about 'reading under the covers at night'. That (for me) was 60 years ago or more, but I still remember how delicious it was. (I'm pretty sure my mother knew about it and just let lme think I was getting away with something ;>)

  4. Congratulations on your award and thank you for thinking of me! I have a lot of the same loves as you - reading, travel, photography, the beach and of course cats! I think Chocolate is a great name for a cat!

    I'll post my award in the next couple of weeks. Things have been busy so I don't want you to think I've forgotten!

    Congratulations on your award and thank you for sharing it with me. I am honored.

    I love your list of ten things, I read under the covers with a flashlight too. We also have camp in common, I was a camp director for several years in GA and AK. The photo of you and the kitty is adorable.

    Have a great weekend,
    Judy
