Making Smiles On Faces Award

I received a blog award. It's the "Making Smiles On Faces Award" -- talk about a fancy name! Sure thing I am passing on the award to five other people whose blogs make me smile. Now that's a tough choice, as there are by far more than five blogs out there which make me smile. In random order here are five blogs which make me smile:

• Chrissi from Chrissiosity Cottage
• Joan from Joan's Home Studio
• Tracy from My Day To Day Scene
• Jeni from A Jeni Design
• Judy from Judy At A Touch Of Class

I got to know Chrissi through the One World One Heart event. She didn't win my prize, and I didn't win her prize, but I won nonetheless by meeting her that way. Joan is an active member of We Love Digital Art and has become a dear friend. Tracy and I started out as pen pals, even meeting twice in Munich. These days we keep up to date about our lives through our blogs. Jeni and Judy are two extremely talented digital artists whom I met at Nothing Cute Here.

Now I am supposed to name five little known facts about me. Okay, let's see...

1. I have eight dreamcatchers.

Yes, I know that one is a key ring,
but it's still a dreamcatcher.

2. I enjoy borrowing books from the mobile library, the Bücherbus (book bus).

That's a photo from January 2009 --
soon it will snow like that again...

3. I am very much into the Old West. Well, yeah -- that's not exactly a little known fact about me, but to some of you (though not you, Tracy and certainly not you, Rita!) it may be news.

4. My bedroom lamp is made out of shells.

5. I saw a scary monkey on a children's merry-go-round in July 2009. I wonder if a child riding on it gets nightmares.

On the other hand I saw a baboon at Munich's zoo Hellabrunn in January 2009 which was a real artist painting intricate patterns in the snow.
