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
