What a surprise last Friday morning to open my email and find that I had been nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award by Lisa over at lisapomerantzster.com who writes a wonderfully delightful blog about her Mrs. and two daughters, Big and Little.
Thank you, Thank you, Lisa!
Then, I found there are rules, and as some of you know, I’ve never met a rule I didn’t want to break.
- Thank the person who nominated you and link up to their blog. That’s easy!
- Nominate at least 15 bloggers of my choice, including links to each one so you, my lovely readers can see what I am talking about! (When thinking about The Versatile Blogger, one must keep in mind writing style, technique, uniqueness of subject matter and the level of love that exudes from the words on their pages)
- Share seven facts about yourself
So, not wanting to disappoint Lisa or the Versatiles, I will do my best:
In not any particular order other than alpha and not fifteen (see paragraph 3), but unique sites I definitely do enjoy in addition to Lisa’s. I hope you will visit them because these include some pretty darn talented artists, photographers and writers from around the world:
- Aniket Sharma Photography (World through my Lens)
- Buzz Carla (writing and sketching)
- Catbird Quilt Studio (quilts, tutorials and designs)
- compass & camera (Travel, Culture, Life)
- Empress 2 Inspire (Highlighting the simple things in life and un-complicating life)
- Heidi Hjort Artwork (Everyday Beauty in Contemporary Impressionist Oil Paintings)
- Katzenworld (Welcome to the World of Cats)
- Me and Henry Lee (quilting, photography, musings)
- Poezy (A Sense of Place … finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, at home and abroad)
- Robert Kirkendall (short stories and other fictions with a concentration on mid-1980’s Silicon Valley)
- Sansei Life (Exploring and learning about the Asian Community in Denver …and a lot more)
- Talking to Myself (a selection of original abstract paintings and multi-media works)
Seven facts, give or take (see paragraph 3), about me:
- I am a Scorpio which may not mean anything other than when people think they have me figured out, sooner or later they find out they don’t;
- I am evidently professionally challenged, or seriously ADD, having had a variety of careers in widely different arenas;
- And, I am finally, sort of, figuring out retirement after being, sort of, retired for nine years, and that includes writing this blog.
Again, a great big Thank You to Lisa!!!
Hey Carla! Thanks very much for nominating my blog – I will have to figure all this out and get cracking nominating some of my favourite blogs as well!
Best regards for now

Thanks so very much for the nomination. It’s fun to connect with other bloggers this way. I’ll be sure to take a look around here as well as at the other bloggers’ sites. I started to write in reply to your comment on my blog: “Hi Carla! Thanks for the nomination — I’m so sorry to have missed your comment from earlier this week. Machine troubles, another cold — I am off my game a bit!” Oh my, and all I want to do right now is lie down again. Forgive me for not responding more appropriately!!
Thanks again. Melanie
