Liebster Blog Award!!

First of all....."Thank you for thinking of me Sarah, you have made my day"!

I was tagged by my very dear "Bloggie" friend Sarah (The Stressed Stamper) and given the "Liebster Blog" award!!! This award is given to recognize a blog that you feel doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I know we all have blogs we follow and wonder, "Why doesn't this person have more followers?". This is a good way to share these blogs with others who normally wouldn't have seen them. Hopefully I will share at least one blog that you haven't had the chance to enjoy. These ladies are Super talented and it was hard to narrow my choice down to just five.

If you have been TAGGED and want to participate? Then create a post where you post the 'LOVE BLOG' image. You should also blog the persons link that gave you the award and inform her/him that you accept the award. You can then choose 3 - 5 favourite blogs which you also link in your post, then each blogger will inform you that they have been tagged

Dear bloggers,
The aim of this action is that we bring unknown, good blogs to light, so I would ask you not to blog fellow bloggers that already have 3,000 followers. I follow so many blogs , but I chose 5 that I think deserve more followers than they have, because in my opinion they make stunning - yes stunning card...Please pop over and show them some love - honestly I promise you will NOT be disappointed.





Here are my picks (in no particular order):

1. Toni ...Cuppa-Craft

2. Gemma...De FreubelFreule

3. Jackie...Jackie's Space

4. Mary...Southern Moments

5. Kim...From My Stamp Room

Plant a Seed of Friendship

Ahhhh...feels good to get back into my "Happy Place" after a hectic week! Fighting a sinus infection but I can handle that. First thing I did was tidy up a bit. I had stuff out every where. I need to get in the habit of cleaning up one crafty mess before I make another one.

This beautiful image is from Just Inklined. It is called "Gardening Shelf". I miss planting flowers in Winter (the dirt is too cold for my precious digits). It is so hard to get used to the "blah" after Christmas. Everything is so gray! I guess I will just have to brighten my world with beautiful papers until Spring. Well, back to the craft room for some seasonal paper therapy. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me #10

My desk is not very interesting this week so I have something else for you to see that may entertain you. My Daughter and I caught our "precious" kitty Seven admiring our parakeets. What do you guys think she is thinking?!?

This is my messy,unorganized,nonproductive desk today! (Sorry the pic is so dark. Yucky, cold, dark and rainy here this week)

I have a card I am giving to my Mom's Cardiac Nurse, Kerri. She was so good to my Mom during her stay in the hospital this past week. I had to get a card out to her A.S.A.P.!!

I have an image I am currently working on there also.....BUT, I had a craft emergency. I ran out of adhesive!!! What kind of crafter runs out of adhesive!?! So until tomorrow I am at a stand still. Looks like a trip to Michael's on my lunch hour tomorrow. Guess I can stock up for the weekend while I am there. I've got two "Sassy" cards to get done ya' know!!

Will you be mine......Again?
