Kreativ Blogger Award

Thank you so much to
 Little Susie Home Maker

for giving me the

Little Susie was one of my very first blog followers.

Check out her blog if you like recipes,

 vintage items, crafts, link-ups, and chickens!

As part of the award, I'm to share 7 interesting facts about myself.

Then, I need to grant the award to 7 other blogs.

7 interesting things

 (I think . . . )

1.

In the Second Grade,

I couldn't put down The Secret Garden.

From there on out, I was a reader.

2.

One evening during the summer of 1996,

 I happened to meet a very interesting young man.

The next day, I told my mother that

 I hoped I married somebody just like that man.

I married that exact man in 1998.

3.

I'm learning to play a folk instrument called the Bowed Psaltery. 

 I own the middle-sized version pictured.

4.
My favorite place in the United States that I have

 physically visited is the Grand Canyon.

5.

In 2010, I spent 11 days in Israel.

I hope to go back again.

6.

I'm willing to admit I have a minor . . . OK,

a BIG addiction to craft magazines.

7.
I've eaten soooo much dark chocolate that I no

longer enjoy the taste of milk chocolate.

If you're still with me, here's what is really interesting!

  Sometimes she shares parts of her inspirational fiction stories.

  At other times, she gives a book review or shares a writing tip.

  Occasionally, readers receive an inspirational thought.

 Her blog is gorgeous and fun for anyone who enjoys historical fiction.

Mama's Little Treasures

Nina's blog has resources too numerous

 to mention for the Christian crafter and writer. 

Nina's blog has tutorials and devotionals, and 

her posts are often linky parties to her Ruby For Women Community --

 a great place for women to connect for publishing opportunities,

 prayer support, crafting, blogging, friendship, and so on . . . . 

It's like I said . . . too numerous to mention!

I hope you'll visit these creative places.

Enjoy.

Amy
