Hi all! I wanted to share some of the generous spirit of the blogging/stamping world around me, and show you these fabulous not so random, acts of kindness! First off, I received this award from Els (the good witch 😉 ) who is a very talented crafter, and has a wonderful blog to share her ideas with us all!  Please do take the time to visit her blog and leave her a comment.  She’s so sweet.   Thanks Els, for thinking of me!  I’m so glad that you feel inspired by what I do, and you must know that I feel the same about your work too. I would like to pass this on to these inspiring bloggers (there are so many but I chose 6 for now): Le Blog de Scrapmumur,  Sandy, Tabitha, Kes, Sammacco, JenMarie Thanks for the inspiration! Next are some beautiful cards from some more talented ladies!  The first is from a friend who doesn’t blog (YET) but she does have her own Stampin’ UP! web site.  Colleen is the one who …

Isn’t this a sweet blog award?  I think so.  It  feels so good to be told that someone likes what you’ve worked so hard on!   I love making things and sharing them with everyone, and that’s why I started this blog.   I saw a wonderful community of people sharing their ideas with one another and learning from each other and most importantly encouraging each other, and I just had to be part of that creative spirit! Thanks to Kimberly and Kimmie who both generously passed this award on to me!  I feel the same about their blogs too, so the love does go round! I’m passing this on to 3 very inspiring women!  Who I’m sure get awards and tags all the time, but deserve more nevertheless. 🙂 Julie- Out to Impress! Sharon- No time to Stamp? Beate- Fresh and Fun Have a great night all!  I’m off to work on my magnet photo tutorial!

I am thrilled to get this award!  Let me tell you why… It’s not really the “award” itself, although when I saw it I was definitely intrigued by it’s unique character.  Intrigued enough to follow the trail back to it’s creator Tammy Vitale.  Let me tell you that it was a pure delight to “meet” this woman!!  Yes, in a way I do feel as though I have met her, by reading her blog, her thoughts of the day, and discovering her art, which I always feel is extremely revealing of the artist!   I think this award has already exceeded her expectations (she intended on viewing EVERY blog it was awarded to) and  through it she has discovered many wonderful sites and has listed links to many!  This is what really excites me! The discovery of these many wonderful artful/crafty/inspirational, women and all the many forms that their art take!   Many of which are paper crafters/scrapbookers and mixed media artists! The first blog you really should pay a visit to is Alina’s, who was sweet …
