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
Thank you, Monique! Your facts were so cute and entertaining, I am afraid I can't live up to that, but I will try!
CONGRATS! I want to hear the story about the K.O....lol!
A fun list and interesting, snce I know very little about you except that you are a wonderful Artist!
Rosie: Thanks and your list is great too!
Naomi, I am curious about your list...lol Love your little riddle as well on your blog
Hopefully I will put my "kist" up next.....HOPEFULLY...lol!
I am pretty sure that doggie is a male roo, but he was so low to the ground I was thrown by seeing his little pee pee almost on the sidewalk, too....lol!
"LIST"....Oy, Help!
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.
Thanks for the visit and your kind words aboit my "LIST"...lol!
LOL I like how you mention that #4 still applies after #5. The teacher must have had it coming!
Chickie: Yes he truly had it coming and the fact that he was not sober made the k.o. so much easier... lol
