Stylish Blogger Award

I'm feeling really good today.  My card for last week's Paper Players challenge was picked as a Cut Above.  The Paper Players are an awesome bunch of talented stampers so be sure to stop by their blog and see what the challenge is.  It changes every Sunday.  It is always fun to participate and you too might be a Cut Above or the Headliner!  Thanks to Ann and the rest of the Design Team for picking my card and the other winners too.  That is a tough decision to make with so many beautiful cards uploaded.


Another reason I'm smiling ... one of my Stampin' Pretty Pals, Nina Dee, awarded me with the Stylish Blogger Award.  Thank you Nina!!!

This award comes with some fun stipulations.  They are as follows:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this.
2. Share 8 things about yourself.
3. Forward it to bloggers that you have recently discovered.

Here are 8 facts about myself ...

1. I have been a stay-at-home mom for 20 years this month.
2. I am the President of my son's high school soccer booster club.
3. We will be empty nester's this coming fall ... not looking forward to that.
4. I had lasik surgery in 2005 ... great decision.
5. I like doing sudoku's as much as stamping.
6. I'm going to Disney World in May.
7. I get my best work done in the morning/early afternoon.
8. I like to play golf ... for fun.

I really enjoy reading blogs and here are a few that have caught my eye recently.  I would like to pass this award on to ...

• Lesley
• Frenchie
• Trish
• Renee

Be sure to stop by and see their creations, you won't be disappointed!

I'll be back tomorrow with a card (hopefully).  It is finished but I have not taken a picture yet.

Have a great day,

Blog Award

I received a wonderful e-mail earlier this week from my blogging friend Donna.  I've been following Donna's beautiful blog for a bit and I absolutely love her cards and photos.  Donna chose me for the "Cherry on Top" blog award.  Thank you Donna for sending this awesome award my way.  I am still on cloud nine!  Be sure to stop by Donna's blog, Donna's Designs, to see her stunning work.

The rules for receiving this award:

1. Thank the person that passed it to you.
2. Copy the award to your blog.
3. Share three things about yourself that you enjoy doing.
4. Pass the award to 5 others.

The three things I would like to share with you are:

1. I am passionate about stamping.

I had a hard time picking just five blogs to pass this on to.  There are so many wonderful and inspiring blogs out there that I follow and enjoy reading.  Thanks to all the bloggers who showcase their gorgeous creations for all to enjoy!  Keep on crafting!

I've just returned from our Fall Break vacation in Gatlinburg, TN.  I had a fabulous time but I'm so glad to be back home.  I'm also looking forward to catching up on everyone's blog and to hit my craft room.  We have soccer this weekend so hopefully Monday will lend some time to create.

Have a great day,

Pam~
