A Fantastic Project Award

This lovely award was given to my by Lori at Lori's Artsy Obsessions . She's created this award herself and you can see the rest of the recipients here. Thank you Lori for giving me the honour of being among the first to receive this award. 

There are so many bloggers out there who inspire me, but I can't give the award to everyone so I'm passing this on to 5 fantastic crafters who's projects have captured my eye most recently. I realise that not everyone one likes to display these awards, and I respect anyones desire to keep their blog uncluttered; that being said I hope you'll accept my appreciation of your work, and should you wish, display and pass this on to 5 others. 

I've linked to direct projects but I know you'll enjoy looking around the blogs once you get there.

http://forgottenscraps.blogspot.com/search/label/...%20Art%20Journal I always find Barbara's colouring skill inspiring and often use her as a guide when colouring backgrounds. Her art journal is full of wonderful things.

http://doreensdream.blogspot.com/2011/10/nice-vintage.html I love to see vintage, one of the things I'd love to perfect, and I always have my eye out for those who do it so well

Well done ladies.

Stylish Blog Award

The lovely Kacee (Mc.Vic) over at You Had Me At Scrap has given me this Stylish Blogger award, and the sweetheart Celeste at Touched by a Butterfly generously awarded it to all her followers.  I'm honored and thank you both. 
I hope you'll pop over to check out their blogs and leave them some love. 

Upon receiving this award I must thank the person (s) and link it back to their blog, inform all the new recipients of their award, and share 8 things about myself. Pass it on to 8 individuals (blogs) that I recently discovered. This is always a great way to find new inspiration so be sure to check them out!

Here are my 8 things....

1 I'm barely 5' tall. 

2 I was flat footed as a child

3 I took up Karate in my early thirties and became 1/2" taller - I swear, it cured the flat footedness, short-term at least lol.

4 I gave up Karate to become a Jehovah's Witness

5 I'm blind in one eye..from birth, people tell me I should lack depth perception.

6 Now I know I can tell the difference when you creators do your fantastic jobs colouring...but I’ve realised I can use this as an excuse when I get my shading wrong...see, always a silver lining lol.

7 I've kept all kinds of animals, from reptiles to rats to house rabbits to dogs and so many more.

8 I'd fill my home with animals if not kept on a tight rein

and an added extra

9 I'm going to regret telling all this later. 


An this is who I'd like to pass the award onto.

My Blog has Attitude Award

Can you imagine my surprise this morning, I open up my blog for my favourite treat of reading comments and find I've been given this award by the lovely Priyanka. I've only recently found her blog and she has the most fantastic detailed projects. AND..as I've never been given an award before, can you imagine my delight.

So to qualify for the $5 free digi certificate from Digi's with Attitude I have to tell you three things that makes my blog unique, and pass the award onto 5 other blogs...the only problem I see there being having to limit it to 5....so much talent with attitude out there lol.

No 1...my blog is unique  because I'm unique...my family all agree that they are very happy there is only one of me lol. Through my blog I'm trying to work out my craft hoarding problem...I have a very long way to go as I have a long established hoard....but I'm having fun on the way.

No 2...May not be terribly unique, but I adore everything about challenges. I love to pop over to  Feline Playful and choose all my challenges for my card...I can't seem to make a move without my challenges now. I need a sketch, the colour, embellies...everything before I start lol.

No 3...Probably not so unique either, but I make all my cards with oodles of love, but as we are all unique, we all love in a unique way don't we. However, I'm having serious problems giving up the cards I make for my challenges - I love them, they are my friends, I don't want to part with them lol.


Now for the five lovely people I want to pass this on to.
