I have this belt buckle that says 'Art is a dirty job but somebody's got to do it'. I'm thinking today about being creative and what it means. Whether it means anything. It's the natural state of things, isn't it? Change, at base. Panta Rhei. Anyway, the fabulous Alana just nominated this blog for a Kreativ Blogger award. I'm really astonished and touched, and also - although don't tell her - a bit embarrassed because Alana is someone whose courage far outweighs mine and whos writing just floors me.
Okay, now I nonminate seven other bloggers for the pretty pink award, and then I name seven things I like. Here, blogs I enjoy and that are often full of unexpected pleasures:
1. Shanna Germain's travel blog
2. Janine Ashbless
3. Gina Marie
4. EllaRegina
5. T Elle Harrison
6. Danielle de Santiago
7. Charlotte Stein
Seven things I like ...
When my baby kicks. Summer mornings, early. Purple and black plants. My cat's striped tail. The feeling of learning a skill, the thrill of feeling that I'm able.
Sea air. Watching my boyf when he's asleep - the point and angle of his shoulder, his freckled back, the curve of his mouth. Is that more than seven? I hope I did it right!
To all the nominees, would you like to participate by doing the same? Seven other nominees and seven things you like. xxx

Congratulations, Nikki, on being Kreativ, and thank you for nominating me!
Now I just need to do my math right in response.
Wow, that must feel so cool -- a baby kicking from within!
@ ellaregina
even from outside its an awsome feeling when a baby kicks..must be ubercool from inside
Baby kicking: Ubercool ... yes. And weird. Sort of alien. Just as strange as you'd imagine! But miraculous - the first communication. Sometimes it makes me shout.
- Danielle, sorry, I don't know the rules really! I haven't told the people I nommed.
hmmm..i hope people will finde out that they are nominated since my blog isnt that wel visited yet...
:-)
oooh! thank you, thank you!
-unfolds her piece of paper for her speech-
I'd like to thank...
Hehe. This is so cool!
Wow - thank you Nikki!
Still catching up on the weekend and not feeling the least creative at the moment, but the thought is appreciated!
S and Janine, you're both people who've immensely inspired me - professionally and personally.
Just saying.
And yes, Janine, not been a great news weekend, has it?
Just seen this due to tiswaz of other matters stopping me seeing things. Thanks, Nikki!
Does this mean you like my blog? Yeah! I feel all liked, now. Must go and investigate this kreativ thing.
