Blog Award



That Christopher at Designs by CK, has passed on a blog award to me! He has the funniest series of Easter cartoons/giggles, that you need to go give his blog a look to see them as well as his newest offering on eBay, "All Seer" (very cool piece). Such a talented guy I am thrilled to know him and to say I have the privilege of owning a few of his pieces now! He also revamped his website as well, and he did a fabulous job showcasing his work!! Talent, shear and utter talent!

Okay, I am suppose to tell you 7 fast Laurie facts (I don't think I have told these before):

1. I use to be a CPR instructor for the American Heart Association.

2. I have actually performed CPR on multiple heart attack victims.

3. I use to be a registered Emergency Medical Technician for the Fire Department and local hospital.

4. I was on our local Fire Department for 10 years working both EMS (Emergency Medical Services/Ambulance) and as a Fire Ground Support Operations team member (I was a Truckee), and yes, I have actually fought fire multiple times from structure to grass fires.

5. I was the Public Information Officer for the Fire Department for several years.

6. I was the Emergency Management Coordinator for our city and county.

7. My father was the fire chief in my home town as I was growing up and inspired me to do all of the above.

See, you just never know what you might learn about someone!! HA! Isn't life interesting and a great adventure.

Hi'ya Laurie! You are so funny...calling me Sonia. Yes, Sonia is a sweet lady too. I visit her blog every now and then.

Thank you so much for the award...you know me, I am NO GOOD at these Awards (appreciate them, but always drop the ball on them).

Your latest piece is so very sveet. Get is Sveet. HA! Intersting facts about you doll face. So very neat.

Me, I am basically a pretty boring person. Same things, different day. :P

Hugs,
