Marlynn at Honeysuckle Breeze blog gave me an award!! 

Thank you, Marlynn! There are rules associated with this award. You have to:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award.
2. Copy the logo and place it in your blog.
3. Link the person who nominated you.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that no one would really know.
5. Nominate seven "Kreativ Bloggers"
6. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.


OK, 7 things that no one would know....

1-I do most of my journaling, including backgrounds and collage from my bed while watching TV. Mind you, I'm not sure what I'm watching while I'm jounaling! I kind of tune out. But its a comfy place to be.

2-My first cat ever was totally black. I found her when I was at summer camp when I was about 10. She was tied up in a paper bag and dumped in a stream to die. I rescued her after hearing her cries. Her name was Inky and I had her for several years until one day she just disappeared. Someone told me she had been kidnapped.

3-I once met Telly Savalas at a restaurant in New York City when he was still on Kojak. And I met Peter Ustinov in Toronto. Still waiting to meet Johnny Depp. . .

4-When I was a young teen one of my favorite groups was  Lovin' Spoonful. At 14 years old I moved from CA to Canada, where later the lead singer from Lovin' Spoonful, Zal Yanofsky, opened a restaurant in the city I moved to (Kingston, Ontario). Later, I taught his grandson. I got to know his daughter, and his first wife, and often went to his restaurant (Chez Piggy) before he and his second wife died. He was always popping in and mingling with his customers! He was quite the crazy, but very nice, guy. What a strange co-incidence, to leave CA and a CA band, to find the lead singer in Ontario!

5- I'm going gray. No, really!

6-I love old Kurosawa Samurai movies, especially ones with Toshiro Mifune.

7-at one point, when I was a teenager, we had for pets; 2 boa constrictors, a coati mundi, a flying squirrel, a skunk, and a wooly monkey. Oh yes, and a dog and 2 cats. I don't go in for exotic pets anymore though.
