tags&awards

Please excuse this moment of rubbery blogger self absorption. Janaina Tschape;Juju 1 (from The Sea and The Mountain), 2004

I normally don't participate in community things (what can I say I like the sidelines) but I wanted to acknowledge the fancy blog pals who have been so kind and sent me an award and tagging. I am very thankful to have been offered the lovely blog award by the oh so sweet Anna Caroline of designstudio210. Thanks darling, your blog is smart and refreshing. And while I'm reveling in my own awesomness: I’ve been tagged by the classy & creative Alek rightbankgirl to reveal 10 unknown facts about myself whereupon, I can claim the Honest Scrap Award. I've never participated in a blog award or tagging (sorry, wool&misc for dropping the ball on the last one) so please excuse the lack of finesse.
To show my appreciation to you awesome and inspiring ladies I dedicate these yummy bits to you.
