Liebster Award! Thank You!

Tina from http://ollieanddextersmommy.blogspot.com/ has given me the The Liebster Blog Award! Thank you Tina. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!

The Liebster Blog award is given to bring newer blogs into the light. It's a great way to share blogs that might not otherwise have been noticed and should be!

As recipient you must share the love and pass it along to others.  As well as these four things:
1. You must post on your blog and tell a little about the award and announce your 3-5 picks.
2. Let those know you have chosen them.
3. Copy and post the award on your blog for all to see.

I’ve decided to pass this award on to the following wonderful blogs:

1. Michelle at http://paperaffair.blogspot.com/

2. Nancy at http://lanancyworkshop.blogspot.com/

3. Normea at http://mmdezigns.blogspot.com/

4. Debbie at http://www.debseclecticthoughts.blogspot.com/

5. Monique at http://mixonthememories.blogspot.com/

These are some very talented ladies with some great projects. Stop by and take a look!

I am only 10 people away from 200 followers! Wow, this whole blog world is amazing! I have met so many people who have now become my friends. I am truly blessed!

Blog Award–My First!

I am so very excited – I received my very first Blog Award! I want to give a BIG THANKS to Brenda from Creativity is Only a State of Mind for giving me the Stylish Blogger Award! Thank you Brenda, I really appreciate it!

Now that I have this, I need to do 4 things:

1). Thank and link back to the person who awarded me

2). Share 8 things about myself

3). Pay it forward to 8 bloggers that I have recently discovered

4). Contact those bloggers and tell them about their awards

Well since she made me feel so special, I will thank Brenda once again! Her blog is full of inspiration for me! Please stop by and visit her blog.

OK, here are 8 things I will share about myself (please don’t fall asleep here, lol!)

1. I’m a Christian, a wife, a mother.
2. I have raised a wonderful 18 year old daughter who is now in college and a 27 year old son who graduated from UNT and is now engaged!
3. As you can see in #2, I will be a new Mother-in-Law soon to a wonderful girl whom I love like a daughter already!
4. I am a retired Flight Attendant and I flew both domestic and international routes. I love to travel!!!
5. I’m a reality TV junkie!
6. Not only do I love paper crafting but I also love to quilt. In fact, I started quilting long before I started to scrapbook.
7. I am an OBSESSIVE and HABITUAL photo-taker!!! I take pictures of any and everything!
8. I’m the proud “Grandmother” to Boots, the tabby cat that my son adopted when he still lived at home. But somehow my son’s gone but the cat’s still here! But I didn’t know that I could love a cat so much!

I’m going to pay this award forward to some special Bloggers that inspire me every day. This was so hard because there are so many talented people out there but here are some of my favorites:

Shirley at Okieladybugs Scrap N' More

Sheila at She's a Sassy Lady

Tina & Wendy at Two Chics & A Cricut

Michelle at Michelle's Paper Affair

Tammy at So Happy Scrappin'

Diane at Capadia Design

Linda at Nothin' Fancy

Tanya at Time for Scrappin

Thanks to all of these incredible ladies for their creative inspiration and, some cases, their friendship (Michelle is the Happiest person I know!) I’ll be passing this award on and I hope that you can check out all of these blogs to see for yourself why I like them!

Until next time, Happy Crafting,
