My speech is here somewhere...

So fun! FoodTravelDiva from Food and Travel has given me the Kreativ Blogger award! Des was one of the first people (in fact, I think she was the 2nd person I didn't know) to leave a comment on my blog when I first started it back in May, and better yet, she has continued to stop by. Now it's my turn to give the award to seven blogs, which is even more fun! Thanks so much, Des!

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who has given you the award (goes without saying...lol!)
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog
3. Link to the person who has given you the award
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate
7. Leave a comment on the blogs to let them know about the award

So, without further ado, I'd like to present the Kreativ Blogger award to the following bloggers, who have all informed and inspired me in one way or another:

1. The Noble Pig
2. Amanda's Cookin'
3. Closet Cooking
4. Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes
5. La Table De Nana
6. Smitten Kitchen
7. In Fine Fettle

Now, seven things you may not know about me:

1. When I find spiders and other bugs in my house I pick them up with my hands and put them outside.
2. Two houses ago we had six chickens, called The Girls. They would come running when you called them, and they gave us the best eggs!
3. I know how to fix and re-set Barbie hair.
4. I hate mayo and don't eat it unless it's hidden and undetectable in a food.
5. My dream is to have lots of acreage and raise buffalo or some other large animal.
6. I started cake decorating when I was 14. My first cake was a Garfield cake, and I still have the pan and the plastic eyes/nose piece.
7. When I was growing up I wanted to be a marine biologist. The beach and ocean is still my favorite place to visit.

Happy blogging, everyone!
