Blog awards


I have been completely overwhelmed with the kindness of my blogging peers.  I was awarded this Stylish Blogger Award not once, not twice, but four times over the last few weeks.  And those who shared the award with me are amazing bloggers themselves!! 

Please take a few minutes and check out these four wonderful blogs.  There are sooo many amazing blogs available - it is difficult for all of the blog readers to locate new and exciting blogs.  Take a look at these four blogs and enjoy the stylish-ness of each!


Thank you to each of these wonderful bloggers for sharing their award with me.  I am going to borrow from my friend Donna Mundinger and suggest that each person with a blog go ahead and post this award on your blog.  I love all of the blogs I visit and I think we are all stylish in our own way.  
Happy Friday!!

Blog Awards


I would like to thank Melissa from Disney Dreamer Designs for this BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER Award.  Isn't this a pretty award???  Thank you Melissa! 

As I understand the rules I am supposed to share seven things about myself and pass the blog award along to 15 other bloggers.  WOW - that is a lot of bloggers.

  1. My fiftieth birthday is in two weeks.

  2. One of my favorite flowers is the Camellia - I have two Yuletide Camellias at my front door and it is like having roses in the dead of winter each time I open the front door. This is a Yuletide Camellia:

  3. I collect tea sets.  I would share a photo of my favorite set, but I cannot pick just one.

  4. I try to decorate inside my home for every holiday.  Okay, I skip a few, but I hit all of the biggies.  Last spring my daughter brought a few friends from college for the weekend.  She told me that one of them asked what was up with all of the rabbits in our house - rabbit tea sets (see #3), rabbit plates (see #7), rabbit figurines, rabbits in baskets, etc.  She said she looked at the person and said "Duhh, Easter!"  That's my girl!!!

  5. I love to read.  I devour books. I have two or three books that I liked so much that I have read them over and over because I hate to say goodbye to the characters.

  6. I love Walt Disney World.  I am like a big kid in a candy store when we visit.  I wear the Minnie Mouse hat with ears of course and insist that we do the photo pass photos as frequently as possible.

  7. I am a dish-oholic.  I have to limit myself or I would have more dishes than I have storage space.  Dishes are my naughty little indulgence.
I am supossed to pass this along to 15 beautiful bloggers. 
I realized as I created this list that it could go on and on.... We have so many amazing people sharing their creative and stunning work on line.... WOW.

I also need to thank Linda at Ladybug's Lair.  Linda gave me this lovely award:
 
Thanks you so much Linda!!!  This was so sweet of you.  In that I have already passed this award on previously, I am not going to select specific blogs.  I would like every reader with a blog to please feel free to post this award on your blog.  (One of my seven items above should have been "I don't always play by the rules").

I will be back tomorrow with my BBTB project and the story of reorganizing the pantry.

Sunshine Award from Beverly!

Thank you Bev from Altered Paper Arts (you MUST go see Bev's great projects) for this sweet, sweet award.  This award goes to people that the sender believes post interesting comments, or to those who create art that is appealing, or to the spreader of sunshine.

UNFORTUNATELY, I can only pick 6 blogs on whom to bestow this award - and there are so many kind and creative people in the blogosphere, so many spreaders of sunshine, all of whom deserve this award!

Six of my many, many favorites, in no particular order:

      Nikki at Two Bugs and a Crafting Junkie

      Dawn at Dawn's Stamping Thoughts

      Joy at Obsessed with Scrapbooking

      Melanie at Courtney Lane Designs

       Donna at Popsicle Toes

       Jeannie at A Place For My Cards

So here are the rules:
Please share some sunshine with your friends by:
  1. Placing the Sunshine image on your blog or within your post.
  2. Pass the award onto six bloggers
  3. Link the nominees within your post.
  4. Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
  5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.
Thanks for all of the inspiration and Sunshine ladies!

Blog Awards.... Soooo Overdue

Some number of weeks ago ( I am embarrassed to say exactly how many weeks) Melinda Ford honored me with a blog award. I was right in the midst of a busy, busy week and assured Melinda that I was appreciative and would post the award. I promptly back burned the issue.

Melinda is a doll. Seriously. Not only did she not get upset with me, she gave me a second award! I love this cyber-friend.

Okay the awards:


This must be passed on to five blogs that I find inspiring. How tough to limit to ONLY five.
  1. Joy - this woman is a fabulous crafter. http://www.obsessedwithscrapbooking.com/

  2. Joy and two friends have begun a new Christmas blog that I adore. http://cricutchristmas.blogspot.com/

  3. Jill - what a honey! http://divainpink.blogspot.com/

  4. Donna - I have to remember to close my mouth each time I visit her blog. http://donnamundinger-popsicletoes.blogspot.com/

  5. Linda - who makes the most amazing designs!! http://mesharingwithu.blogspot.com/

New Awards


I have been quite negligent about posting and sharing two awards I received last week. They were from Donna at Popsicle Toes and Deanne at Just Wasting Time. I am honored to receive anything from either of these two women... They are AMAZING crafters!


I think I am supposed to pass this award along, but I feel like I cannot narrow my list down to just five - ten deserving blogs. So... If you are one of my subscribers, pick your favorite of the two awards and add it to your blog! You deserve it!!!

Happy crafting!
