The Kreativ Blogger award


Ily presented me with this beautiful award, and only she knows why as I am such an irregular blogger but I really appreciate it.

But, like so many things in live, there are strings attached by accepting the award:
I have to list seven interesting things about myself and then pass on the trophy...
So here are 7 interesting things about me

1. Being born and raised in The Netherlands, I - contrary to popular believes - never wore wooden shoes,never lived in a windmill nor did I ever put my finger in a dike to save the country.


2. I don't like it when people put a label on me as it is about their expectations of me and not about who I really am.


3. I have a pretty sarcastic sense of humor.


4. I am a good girl.


5. I was asked to leave the academy of art after k.o-ed a teacher (long story and worth another blog). Still point 4 applies.


6. You can wake me up for a LARGE plate of mussels prepared in either the Dutch way or the Italian way. Really just hold it under my nose....


7. Once I was in a museum in Dublin, Ireland looking for a painting by Vermeer when I saw my first Caravaggio (the taking of Christ) and I totally fell in love with it. Almost forgot about the little painting by Vermeer, almost... but found it later on. One of my best visits ever to a museum.




Now I will pass on the award to Rosie.


She is creative, very active in the arts and only started blogging a few months ago.

You never put your finger where, Chica?? Please explain that one! lol

You are sarcastic, yes...a good girl, never!...not that I'm trying to label you or anything. ;)

Great list, mi amiga! I hope to see you on Wed. night when I ask Vesna to pose smiling!

Ciao...and you know what? I have NEVER tried mussels. I just say I don't like them so people will stop telling me I should try them! However, if/when Giuseppe makes them a la Italiana, I'll be there...con el vino blanco!!

Don't tell me you never heard about the story of the little boy who stuck his finger in a dike?

Good luck with Vesna... No way she can keep a smile for longer than 27 seconds... then she will get cramps...lol

Holland said...

Naomi: Please believe me that I felt the same way when I started the list, but after writing down the first two the rest followed so easily.

LOL I like how you mention that #4 still applies after #5. The teacher must have had it coming!

Holland said...

Chickie: Yes he truly had it coming and the fact that he was not sober made the k.o. so much easier... lol
