SPCC 12 and awards

Hi Friends,

This is going to be a big of a hefty post today because I have some catching up to do. First things first, here is one entry in the SPCC color Challenge. I actually made two cards for this, so I will likely be posting the second card shortly after this post.

Next, I've been so fortunate to receive some blog awards lately. And I've been very bad about passing them on. I want you all to know that when I receive something like this it really really makes my day. Me not passing them along has nothing to do with lack of appreciation. Truly, it seems that most of the people I would forward them onto have already been included on someone's list. This first award called "Eye Like your Style" came from Kristina. You should check out her blog, she's a diva at SPCC and creates some really cute stuff.

Winter passed along The Karma Award: "These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award." I need to choose 8 blog to pass this on to.

Kelly Marie and Kelley both gave me the "One Lovely Blog Award"

And I got a sweet shout out from that dear Courtney.

I tell you I am overwhelmed by the kindness. I enjoy blogging more than I ever imagined, and it's because of the kind people I've "met" through doing this. I truly hope to meet you all in person some day. As Kelly Marie has said, it's like pen pals when we were kids.

I'm going to list some blogs that I enjoy visiting. I encourage you to visit the previously listed blogs as these girls have been such blessings to me.

Maile at Simply Stamped

Jessi and Rachel at Stampin with Jessi and Rachel

Chloe-Jill Designs

Amber at FlourGirl (non-paper crafting but yummy baked goodness)

Seriously, there are so many talented blogs out there. I could list so many. Many that I went to plug in here have already been listed in the linked posts, so I'm not going to duplicate them. Follow the links and the links within them, and you are sure to be inspired.

Thanks for sticking with me thru this long post!
