I'VE GOT AN AWARD!!!!!!!!

I'm so lucky to have received an award from Grahame Butler, see his boat post which I love, thanks Grahame, I'm so chuffed to get this. Now for my bit, I have to list 7 things I love before passing on this award to 7 blogs that I feel worthy so here goes
7 things I love:
1. My other half Ronnie, I have to say that or I'll be shot at dawn!
2. Animals, especially dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and I'm quite taken by toulouse dewlap geese, we have 7!
3. Films, I love murder films, horror films, political dramas, Dirty Harry, war films
4. Inspector Morse, I am soooooo addicted, I cannot miss a repeat of a repeat
5. My dog Willow, I know I've mentioned animals but Willlow deserves a section all of her own 'cos she's special
6. My family, another must have mention for fear of death
and finally
7. Music, I can easily live without the television but no way could I manage without music, just wish I could sing instead of murdering every song!
And now for those 7 blogs, these are listed in no particular order but are blogs I enjoy visiting because, of course, the art but also because some really are just so pretty to look at and are inspiring to me.


1. http://pencilshaver.blogspot.com/ Terry Millers graphite art is simply stunning

2. http://moonlightandhares.blogspot.com/ I love Karen's blog, it's just so pretty

3. http://bigcatart.blogspot.com/ Chirstine Langman's art is just amazing

4. http://kingofmicestudios.blogspot.com/ I want all of the pretty things on this blog

5. http://johannaparkerdesign.blogspot.com/ this is just pretty, pretty, pretty

6. http://sgchipman.com/blog/ colour pencil portrait art at it's best

7. http://jennprattequineartist.wordpress.com/ and equine art to die for.

Congrats, sounds similar to being tagged on facebook except it has an award, too! I'll have to dig through my photos and see if I have any you might be able to use. Thanks an awesome idea, btw. Mind if I use it too later on? Great way to get photos. I'm a member of a caique forum and I get a lot of photos from other members.

Hi Karie! I just noticed you nominated me for your blog award! :) That's so exciting!

I'm just in the middle of revising my blog, so when I have the new formatting done, I'll do up my post with the seven items and the seven blogs.

Thanks so much! Your work is great, and it means a lot that you like my art as well. Us animal artists have to help each other out right? :)

(Oh... and my name is spelled wrong in your post... LOL Christina Langman... :) No biggie though)
