Sisterhood Award

Elizabeth of Softpencil has given me the Sisterhood Award! What a lovely honor! Thank you so much! Do visit her etsy shop where you can find lovely soft drawings of images from nature. Elizabeth is an artist form Buenos Aires. On her website you will see a gallery of her drawings including her logo, a beautiful pink cymbidium eikoh orchid.
I love the idea of "sisterhood," because this implies a connection of giving and sharing. So in that spirit, I will now pass this award to

NatureWithMe
Namaste
SophismPress
PushtheButtonAlpha
Theresa J

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.

my blogging spot

This one's for Elsie!
OK, Elsie, here it is! My husband and I share an office in a room in our house. In the last photo, my desk is on the right. His desk is on the left and you can only see part of it. There are fun things in this room--photos and memorabilia from various vacations along with random ephemera.

On February 23, Elsie posted a photo of her blogging spot. See it here!   If you read the comments on this post you can get links to others' blogging spots.

The original idea comes from Lillipilli at Frocs and Frou Frou. <  See her post here!
(Scroll down a little and then check out the comments for more blogging spots!)

To paraphrase the words of Elsie...
So fellow bloggers do you dare...? Show me where you blog (and how it really looks-- NO artful staging or mood lighting please)! 

Check out Lilli's original post and Namaste's post. Then post a comment with the link to your blog post here and I will pass it on to Elsie who will pass it on to Lilli - who is in Australia and wants to see how far this can go!

whew! have fun!
