Brillante Weblog

This week the magic wand came over me and I was honored by my beautiful friend, mentor, sister, advice giver .... Ellen

The rules are as follows:

1) Put the logo on your blog.

2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.

3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.

4) Add links to those blogs on yours.

5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

The seven bloggers I have chosen are people who touch me with their words, ideas, simplicity and depth. They don't know me but I enjoy their thoughts when I am able to stop by. The art of communication is changing and we have people like these wonderful girls to thank.

Inspire Company and her associated Inspire Ideas - gorgeous eye candy. Amy is obviously a generous and kind soul. Make her a regular on your blogging prowls.

Ordinary Courage Brené has a true gift that she is sharing. Her words make me stop and think. Her words are what I need sometimes to reset the agenda. "My blog is a way to celebrate the idea that it’s much more fun to discover who I am rather than create the person that I’m supposed to be (Dianaism #2 – stop creating start discovering). The term “Ordinary Courage” is something I came across in my research. You can read more about it here. The bottom line is that ordinary courage is about telling your story with all of your heart. My blog is a space for my story. " See what I mean?

Melissa McCobb Hubbell - ok so we know each other through blogs and emails and the best news is that she is a teacher at Art Is...YOU! Melissa has a way of taking the smallest of objects in life and creating something that is meaningful and beautiful.

Susan Tuttle - her photos alone are enough to force you to wipe the drool off the keyboard! She has just revamped her site and it is phenomenal. She has also got a book about to come out EXHIBITION 36 so we are very proud of her and look forward to her classes at Art Is...You!

Ok so I am cheating a little bit with my next one. Diane Sedo has a magical site Sentimental Celebrations and her book launches tomorrow (If I have my dates correct).

Miss Jenny B Harris - She has "allsorts" of things on her blog which is so colorful it truly is like a jar of candy!

and finally an Aussie just has to vote in another Aussie Amber lives in the most magical part of the world - the Blue Mountains! She has lots of great, simple ideas to do with kids. Bringing art and craft into every day life is what makes her special.
