Fabulous Blog Award!!!

A huge Thank You to Sara for giving me the above award! Sara is the most amazing lady who's creativity never ceases to amaze me. I have 'pinched' so many of her fabulous ideas ..... she inspires endlessly. If you haven't come across Sara's blog before ..... get over there and have a look! :o)

The rules of the award are that I have to share 5 things with you that I am addicted to and then pass on the award to 5 other blogs that I love .....

1. Stampin' Up! products ... they just can't be beaten. I love being a Demo! :o)
2. Paper crafting - I love making cards, but enjoy making different bags and boxes more.
3. Crisp White Wine .... enuf said!
4. X-factor - cannot miss an episode of this ever. Love it. Makes me laugh and cry ... and shout at the telly. It's one of the very few programs that I watch tho. Most of my time is spent in my craft room :o)
5. Surfing the net. Hours just vanish every day when I'm blog-hopping or just surfing looking for new ideas that I can adapt and use.

I would like to pass this award onto the following lovely ladies who have amazing blogs that I'm always visiting and love ....

An Award!!

I received this award last week from the amazingly talented Pascale. I feel truly honored to receive this from her. Pascale is a fellow DT member for our Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog and I have learnt so much from her since we started way back in May. Her style and her projects are beautiful and I visit her blog regularly :o) If you haven't been fortunate to 'meet' her yet, pop over and have a visit too ... it's well worth it! Thank you Pascale xxxx

I could pass this award on to so many people, but I'm just going to pick one this time and that is Lisa. It's mainly down to Lisa that I became a Stampin' UP! demo. I 'discovered' her blog by chance and was blown away by the beautiful cards she creates ... mainly with Stampin' UP! products. She has inspired me right from the get go ... and continues to do so. Thank you Lisa :o) xxx

Awards!!!

I have been fortunate enough to receive two awards recently.

Kreativ Blogger Award from Ann

and also ....
Beautiful Blogger Award from Teri S.

Thank you both so much, for thinking of me for these, I really appreciate it xxxx

It happens that I have already received both of these awards in the recent past and have passed them on to some fabulous ladies who have the most gorgeous blogs. So this time I would like to pass both of these awards onto a wonderful young man. He is only 12 years old and has a wonderful talent for creating the most gogeous cards ...... so JON - these are both for you!

Honest Scrap Award

Lovely Shirley from Rubber Stamping Workshops has been kind enough to send me this award! Thank you Shirley xxx
BUT ...... I've also been given it by the gorgeous Alison and the adorable Debbi. Thank you so much ladies!! xxxxx

I've had to do a little investigating to find out a bit more about this award and where it originated and apparently ......

"This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.” ......... Isn't that lovely?? :o)

The conditions of this award are:

I must thank the person who gave me the award, list their blog and link to it
I must list ten (10) honest things about myself
I must put a copy of The Honest Scrap Logo on my blog
I must select at least seven (7) other worthy bloggers & list their links
I must notify the bloggers of the award

Hmmmmmm ..... 10 Honest Things About Me .......

1. I'm a paper stroker and sniffer. I love the smell of new paper and I HATE cutting into new sheets :o)
2. I love my dogs soooooo much. BUT I miss having a cat around.
3. I spend far too much time looking at all your lovely blogs ... and not enough time cleaning!
4. I HATE cooking and preparing food. I HATE planning meals and most of all .... I HATE getting packups ready for the kids school lunches.
5. If I don't write down what needs to be done ..... it gets forgotten!
6. I hate to be late for anything ... but even more, I hate to be too early. Unfortunately my DH has to be hours early for everything, so going anywhere for a certain time is always 'stressy'! :o)
7. I am an avid reader and if I'm not crafting or on the web then I have my nose in a book. Usually a paranormal romance .... you just can't beat those sexy vampires and werewolves!!! Yummy :o)
8. I hate to upset people. It is not in me to be deliberately rude or insensitive.
9. I am quite a calm person. My philosophy is to 'just worry about the important things'.
10. I no longer watch 'the news' or read 'the papers'. Haven't been able to since what happened to that poor baby Jamie Bulgar.

And my nominees for this award .... all of which have 'brilliant' blogs ....

1. Sarah at Card Oasis
2. Lisa at Lisa's Stampin Weblog
3. Keryn at Poppy Dog
4. Anne at Anne's Corner
5. Sara at Sara Stamper
