The Kreativ Blogger Award

Mortira from Inspirational Beading awarded me The Kreativ Blogger Award! Mortira is a fellow bead artist and blogger. Her blog is a wonderful source of inspiration! She not only gives you glimpse into her creative process and allows you to share in her personal journey but she also spotlights other artists and their work, provides valuable information about beads and supplies and puts together great treasury-style collections (aka. Poster Sketch in Etsy-speak) of Etsy finds. Thanks, Mortira, for presenting me (and my blog) with this recognition!

Here are the rules for accepting this award:

1. Post the award on my blog.
2. Thank the person who gave it to me.
3. Link to the person who gave this to me.
4. Share a list of 7 things that you probably don't know about me.
5. Choose 7 great bloggers to give the award to.
6. Share a link to their blogs.
7. Leave a comment on their blog.




So, here are 7 things you probably don't know about me:


1. I used to work on cruise ships. I have worked on a total of 9 cruise ships for 4 different cruise lines: Carnival (Mardi Gras, Carnivale, Tropicale), Dolphin (SeaBreeze, OceanBreeze), Royal Olympic (Stella Solaris) and Norwegian (Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Sea and Norwegian Majesty).

2. Of all the places to which I have been fortunate enough to travel, my favorite is Ulvik, Norway. Here I am overlooking Hardanger Fjord in the hills above Ulvik (the ship I was working on at the time, the Norwegian Sky, is in the background).

3. I think the Ford Festiva was the best car ever made! I miss mine :(

4. My favorite flavor of ice cream is peanut butter. Chocolate/peanut butter will do in a pinch, I suppose.


5. I absolutely love liverwurst (aka. braunschweiger)!

 

6. I am fascinated by all things Indian (things from/of/about India, the country) and even started to learn Hindi. I could never carry on a conversation in the language but I could read and write Hindi pretty well (or so my Indian friends told me! Ha.)

7. We don't watch TV at our house. We enjoy watching movies but we have absolutely no television reception and don't miss it a bit.

2. Christi over at "A Mommy's Joy"
