This is the Van Gogh's Ear Award as created by Roger of Idaho Photo This is what he wrote about the Van Gogh's Ear Award:
"Every year I like to make up a award and hand it out to people that make a difference in the blogsphere. I like to make it a award for all to enjoy and pass out if one so wants to, I just ask if your going to give it out to link back to me as the creator of the Van Gogh's Ear Award."
Inspiration of the Van Gogh's Ear Award
"You may know the story of Vincent Van Gogh a well known artist in history. Although a brilliant painter in his later years went quite insane he received the nickname of fou roux ("the redheaded madman"). The most bazaar of Vincent's behavior is when he cut off the lower part of his own left ear lobe, which he wrapped in newspaper and gave to a prostitute named Rachel in the local brothel, asking her to "keep this object carefully. After this he suffered recurrent bouts of mental illness, which led to his suicide July 29, 1890 he was 37 years old. His works of art are priceless."
The point of this award
"We are all artist in are own way be it art, photography, writing, philosophy, comedy, blogging and we all go a little crazy sometimes. But if you ever feel so crazy to cut off your ear and give it to a prostitute 'Seek Help'!"
This award was given to me by my dear blogging friend Akelamalu. When I was telling her that although I appreciated the award it struck me as funny how it was titled Van Gogh. You see ever since my surgery I had explained to people that the scars on my chest reminded me of a very bad Van Gogh painting and that the surgeon got a little scissor happy....and then what should happen I get this award.
Anyhow, I am very honoured to accept this award.....and I would like to pass this along.....

I'm sorry m'dear I never thought about your scars when I included you in the award. I'm pleased you accepted it in the spirit in which it was given.
As for copying the write-up/explanation - that's exactly what I did from Storyteller's blog. :)
You do bring up some great points in your blog and you do think out side of the box.
Grads on your award and best blogging in 2009.
Coffee is on.
Mary Anne, congratulations to you for receiving this reward and thank you very much for thinking of me to pass it on to.
I have been offline all day as I had an appointment out of town. while there I had a bone marrow aspiration. As far as I'm concerned this is by far one of the worst medical tests and I have had a screaming headache ever since we got home.
Later today i will post this on my blog and do a post. Thank you, dear heart!
congrats on your award.
You've got a scar on your chest because of the surgeon's unskilled hands? is that what you meant? if so, that's so terrible... but then again, its not on prominent spots of the body, like the face.... but still, its terrible... *sigh*
hey girl, I forgot to tell you that I've got a 'Wonder Woman' Award for you, go claim it, won't ya?
Wow... I can't believe the surgeon got scissor happy like that! That's kind of scary...
Congrats on the award, Mary Anne and thank you very much for thinking of me on the award as well.
How are you doing these days? Are you feeling stronger?
How about all that rain out there? Are you getting that flooding or are you still getting snow?
Take care!
~Michele~
I fully match with whatever thing you've presented.
