Melissah emailed me as she couldn't believe there was another person out there who loved absolutely exactly the same things as she did! Even owning the same laptop! She wrote me this beautiful email conveying that she just wanted to communicate with someone else who loves what she loves! I suggested that she should start a blog as she was obviously very talented and passionate about so many things. So thank-you Melissah and I look forward to meeting you in October!
Here are the 15 blogs I would like to pass the award onto ~

Dear Marie .... you were so sweet to email me and ask if you could use my home on your blog which I was so honoured by! You were also one of the first to comment on my blog and gave me the recipe for the snow-effect which I think has become the best feature of my blog! You have such style and a great eye for detail.

Thank you so much for this! You are so sweet. Melissah is a great person too, and love her sense of style and living a beautiful life! I can't believe you too feel like you were born in the wrong era! ME TOO! You want to finish/write books..ME TOO! No wonder I like you, we are kindred sprits! Congrats on the award, its so well deserved and thanks for your kind words:)
My precious friend,
I am so honored...so truly honored that you would mention me here. I look at your list of things about you and I have to say that I agree with each one. I believe YOU WILL PUBLISH ONE DAY for your exquisite taste has a place in this world of magical books that not only allow us to dream but to see what is possible and then make it happen. THANK YOU SO MUCH; I receive this with great humility and yes, I do hope that things transpire for us both. There seems to be a glimmer of hope for me so far, as far as a different path to help me get started in my writing and art, but it will take TIME and some work in preparing or rather setting myself up. More on that as/if things transpire.
I LOVE YOUR NEW HEADER!!!! Oh my dearest, I do not believe I have ever sent you any of my art work. Please email me:
rivani@bethel.edu
I would like to send you something.....MERCI MILLE FOIS, Anita

Blogging has made me very happy (slighlty more obsessed) and my dreams everynight are filled with beautiful things...bizarre. I enjoyed your 7 things & look forward to hearing about them in more detail in October eg. the books. You took a lot of time to make lovely comments on everyone's blog so I look forward to checking out a few new blogs that inspire you and no doubt will inspire me too!
