I have been severly neglecting several blog awards that I've been given lately, and owe some big ole' apologies to those people who so sweetly nominated me for the awards!
First off, the ever-sweet Becky over at Bouncy, Flouncy, Fun, Fun, Fun tagged me way back in June. Becky is a great blogging friends, and one of my fellow team members for Sketches! by Tamara. She's had a rough road lately with her own mother being sick, and then recently her mother-in-law became ill, too. Send up a little prayer for Becky's sanity if you have time! Becky's designs are always great and she's got a wonderful variety of styles!
Then, wonderfully sweet Judy over at Joy in a JAR gave me this award. Judy has had it rough lately too with losing one of the 4-legged members of her family, Dayna. But for Judy's recent birthday, the family rescued a yellow lab and I'm sure she's fitting in very well in their household! Her name is Fiona! Don't you just love that?!? Judy's creations are always so elegant and well-designed... you can tell she puts a lot of thought and heart into her work!
I got an email one day from a super sweet lady named Barb who has a blog over at Country Blessings.
She gave me this award, and I'm so glad she did because it gave me the chance to check out her blog and see her beautiful creations! She's got a wonderful eye for color, and great layouts, too! Please take a moment to give this new blogger some love!
I got surprised with this award again from the highly talented Dallas at Stamp This, Stamp That! Dallas' blog is definitely worth taking a look at... she's got beautiful, clean and simple designs that really inspire my creativity! Check out her blog entry from July 10th and see her pretty pink stamp room! (I LOVE the color!)
And finally, that award one more time from my fellow Color Throwdown team member Kisa! I'm so glad to be getting to know her better as we come up with color challenges for all of you each week! She's been extremely helpful with setting up our blog for the challenges, too (something which I'm very inept at!) Check out Kisa's Paper Cuts for some great inspiration!
This post alone has taken quite some time, so naturally if I were to list blogs to tag and award in return I'd be here all day! I have over 200 blogs in my Google reader, and they're all so inspiring! If you're reading this, consider yourself super-special, extrememly talented, absolutely awesome, and TAGGED!
And to end things here, I'd like to toot my own horn for a second! I have several of my cards featured at Inspirational Craft Blogs this week! I'm so honored, and owe my BSFF Anita a big *smooch* for nominating me! It's so good to have awesome friends! Thanks 'Nita!
Have a great weekend!
