A Wonderful Blog Award Received

Good morning everyone,

Once again I am thrilled and delighted to have been given an award.

  Elizabeth of Silverscrappers blog made the award a couple of days ago – thank you so much for thinking of me, Elizabeth.
I met Elizabeth on our WOYWW blog hop (thanks to the lovely Julia) and I love her gorgeous cards and very encouraging comments. It's always so very lovely to receive other bloggers recognition, so thanks so very much Elizabeth!

In accepting this Award, I am required to tell you 8 things about myself and then pass it on to 8 others.
Um!! ar! I don't like sharing much about me, cards are much easier but here goes..this is the tricky bit, I tell you!! deep breath and here I go! {you can skip this bit if you like!}  : )


1. I trusted in the LORD Jesus as my own Saviour down here at the beach, amazingly it is not far from where I now live. It was over 40 years ago, after a Beach Mission Service at the age of 12 years.

2. I thank God for my wonderful family. I think this is the most special part of living here in spite of being in such an idyllic place.

3. My first card was made at kindergarten with help of my teacher for mother’s day.( I guess there were 40 others too that day!)

4. My first piece of calligraphy was done at 15 and I still have it. May post it one day!

5. My favourite dish is Chicken and Cashews, with fair dinkum fluffy rice. (Aussie slang fair dinkum = real deal)


6. I have a UFO (UnFinished object) I started in 1988 and still not completed– a crocheted lace tablecloth,47 squares done and two to go! And been there for three years!


7. My favourite crafting object is my cute little green bug, yep! a Cuttlebug!

8. I have very tiny hands which people sometimes comment on to my great embarrassment!

Finally A REALLY big thank you to all these inspiring folk, my chosen eight are :

1.Eileen    - for always encouraging me in my efforts, and for her magnificent brayer work  I love!.

2.Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard- Ikki started me off with my bug and really thank her for ALL her inspiration over 12 months of following her. I never knew what blogging was till I was given a link to Ikki's blog.

3. Lizzy Giggs for never failing to send a word of encouragement and her wonderfully gorgeous cards!

4. Marcelle encouraging me to live for the LORD as I work on my creations, as she does on her wonderful blog!

5. Tania for giving brilliant tips and ideas, thinking outside the square!

6. Karen  for her beautiful and inspirational work

 7.Jodie from oz For  her gorgeous Magnolia cards.

8.Lisa another crafter whose work inspires me.


So thanks very much everyone, I had more than 8, but had to chose - I truly appreciate you all more than words could ever say!

God's blessing on your day!
