Kreativ Blogger Award

So a little while ago, Jacqui very sweetly nominated me for a Kreativ Blogger Award. I'm supposed to nominate 7 other blogs. I don't know the origins of the award or what the "requirements" are. I am nominating the blogs I most enjoy reading:

1. Purly Victorious I started a love affair with this author as soon as I came across her blog. I don't even remember how. I quickly devoured every single post and then made crazy Carla my friend! Her writing is awesome, she makes stuff, she takes cool pictures and, did I mention, her writing is awesome!

2. Green Room Thoughts Mrs. Peevie very rarely posts a picture but her writing is so awesome you don't need one!!! I came across this blog when I learned about some blog awards somewhere. Mrs. Peevie, do you have a book? You need to write one.

3. Katie Alender Okay, well Katie used to have a really cool name for her blog but now I can't remember what it was. Her writing is also awesome!! (hmm, I'm sensing a theme here). She's got a book coming out soon and I can't wait. Oh and she makes stuff too, once in a while. OH, I remember the name. It was "Maybe I'm Biased."

4. c jane enjoy it Although I don't like the current banner on this blog, I really enjoy reading. The banner doesn't matter much anyway since I read blogs via bloglines most of the time and the banner doesn't show. This family had quite a tragedy last summer and they are now in recovery. This girl's writing is quite fun and she has really cute nieces and nephew and son and she posts pics of them daily.

5. Woolanthropy This one I like bc Natalie is just so sweet and she's just the kind of girl that makes you smile. Her hubby makes great food for her which she shares with us (via pics and recipes) and the girl knits and sews creatively and is just generous. I just like her.

6. The True Life Adventures of Violence Girl Alice Bag's autobiographical blog. Well, I guess they are all autobiographies in a way, right? But this is really a documentation of her life. I knew Alice a long time ago when I was running around in the music world. She says she's not a writer, but she is a good one too.

7. All Buttoned UpA young family of 5. Busy. Crazy and interracial. Lots to deal with and lots to share. The mama is creative and her boys are Gorgeous! I enjoy reading about their adventures, the help they get from their friends and the rides they take in their Bakfiets.

8. African KelliOH, I just have to nominate one more. I really, really enjoy reading about Kelli's adventures. She's a tri-athlete who wants to make the world a better place and does something about it, not just lament about it. She also sews, and makes journals and cards with stamps and fabric and Jars of Renewal. She's just a good chick.

And their you have it. The 8 blogs I most look forward to reading when I open up Bloglines. But they are not the first I read as I like to have time to actually sit and enjoy them. They are not blogs that I skim. I read a lot of blogs. Lots of sewing blogs. Those I can skim through. See the nice pics and move on. Not so with these. So, when you click on the links, ensure it's a time when you actually have time. I'd hate for you to be interrupted mid-read.
