2 Blog Awards! Thanks, Andi!

I'd like to say THANKS to Andi over at her blog, Never A Dull Moment for these two awards! I do love receiving them. It's like someone saying, I really think your creations are noteworthy, and I'd like to 'scraplift' them!

She's a newer blog crafter, so visit her site and leave some comments, if you will. She's got some awesome ideas, and her creations are certainly noteworthy!!

Thanks again, Andi!

With each blog award, there are rules! Rules, rules, rules... which sometimes I think are a very good thing! ;) The following are the rules for the Sunshine Blog award (can't find any for Trendy Tree).


1. Put the Sunshine Award on your blog and/or within your post.
2. Pass the award to other bloggers. (Up to 12 other blogs.)
3. Link the nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they received this award by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received the award.


I am passing the Sunshine Blog Award to the following people who inspire me, and keep me motivated.

1. Gracie - Imagine That Cricut Blog - I can't even begin to say how important she's been to my "blog life".

2. OkieLadyBug - Okieladybug's Scrap N' More Blog - I recently met her in person, and she's as awesome and real on her blog. WYSIWYG with her... just like me!!

My 3rd Blog Award!

THANKS to Mary from KreatesKards for giving me this blog award! I get inspiration from her too, so it seems a mutual admiration society! LOL

I've had three blogs inspire me much of late, and I wish to present this award to those three people!

In no particular order:

1. Gracie! Imagine That Blog - She's always got new trends, new information, and GREAT tips and trick on how to get the most out of what you're doing. She also gave me a start on the design team, and I am forever grateful!

2. Kopperhead! 100 Things Blog - She amazes me with her talents, and I can't believe that all of those beautiful things come from her! I mean, what a creative brain to develop such BEAUTIFUL projects!!

3. Tracy! Tracy's Happy Place Blog - Tracy always has a GREAT Christmas Card challenge for us every month, and I love doing them! I'd have Christmas all year if I could, and she has allowed me to indulge in that little obsession I have!

Go check out all 4 of these amazing blogs!!!

My Very First Blog Award!

Christy Dillman (Christy's Zaney Creations) is one of our amazing CFS Queens. She has presented me with this Blog Award! I'm completely flattered to know that my work inspires her! So - here's a very short list of all the people that have inspired me! Christy, I hope you know I am just jumping up and down all over the place!! LOL

The Lemonade Award is given by a previous winner to 5 people who have shown a great attitude or gratitude this week.

Isn't this a nice way to show other bloggers how much you appreciate their work?

So here's what you need to do now.

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 5 blogs, which show great Attitude and/or Gratitude! Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.

3. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.

4. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received your award.

I have decided to nominate:

1. The Pink Stamper - Robyn - she has been a stand-out in her videos and all the things I've learned from her on her blog. Keep going, Robyn! You are an inspiration to so many!

2. OkieLadyBug - Okie! We talk so often, but I want to send you this award to show you how much I appreciate everything I've learned from you!!

3. Dawn's Stamping Thoughts - Dawn doesn't know me, but now she will get to see exactly how much she's inspired my work. She puts out the most amazing videos through YouTube... All I do is search Dawn5377 and I've got something new to learn!!

4. Everything Cricut - Gracie, Hmmm what to say? She is the leader of our Design Team and graciously allowed me to participate as a member of the team. Her work as a Cricut crafter is unequaled. Her blog is an amazing storehouse of information. I learn something new everytime I go there.

and

5. Nilda on The Cuttlebug Spot - I purchased a CB shortly after I got my E... but Nilda has taken the Cuttlebug and showed us so much that can be done with it above and beyond embossing!! Go Nilda!!!
