A Few more Awards!!! Thank you :)

Well, I’ve received quite a few blog awards over the last couple of weeks, I'm so thankful to all who thought of me! I’m afraid that the people I would have given it to have probably already been given them...

Wow, I received this award from Jo. I am so thrilled and excited to receive this award from such a wonderful lady. I think a lot of us already know Jo blog but if you don't, please go and have a look to see and congratulate her on her New Dt!

Here are the rules:
Publish the Award on your blog
Link the person from whom you have received the Award
Pass it on to as many as you like
Link these people on your blog
Leave a message on the blogs that you have nominated
Personally, I would like to leave it to everyone and especially those who follow my blog and leave me the lovely comments!

And this pretty one I got from Heather and I have to pass this on to 7 other blogs but I think the one's I'd pick are all covered in Awards!

and look what I got from my lovely DT friend Anthea. If you haven't already visited Anthea, do so - her blog is amazing!! Now I'm meant to be SPREADING the love so Happy valentine's creating and on Saturday there's a little something from me, for you all, tee hee!

So what I really need to do is put these wonderful awards on my side menu with much thanks girls! You're great!!!

Sympathy Poppy and an award

I've been meaning to post this for a while, think it's safely arrived at the recipient now....

It was a while ago that I made this and I think I used a sketch from CPS, just need to check... yes cps 90 found here. This PTI stamp set is beautiful, I loved creating the floral image from different layers of ink! I cut one of the stamped poppies out and raised on 3d foam. The base card is finished with faux stitching, and the sentiment is Quickutz stamp that I've trimmed around!

Materials:
Paper: BG - Boxer, MM - Naturals,
Dis: Nestabilities rectangles, butterfly punch,
Stamps: PTI - Out on a limb - Messages, Remember, Quickutz frame,
Ink: Versamark, Colourbox Q's, Versafine black,
Other: Glossy accents, adhesive pearls, paper lace, 3D foam,

Also, I really need to say I have been honoured with another award. Thanks so much Clare go check out her blog now!

The rules of accepting this award are:-

You have to give it to 5 others and link to those people as well as who gave it to you.
Those 5 shall also pass it on to another 5 people.
Plus you have to write down 5 things you are addicted too.

I shall try and think of 5 addictions...

1. Paper, now you may think yeah we all are, but really I have a HUGE bookcase dedicated to paper, before crafting I drew a LOT and all the paper I had was blank, then I discovered Decorative delicious patterned paper there's NO stopping me, in the three years I have been card making I have accumulated thousands of sheets! (shame!)

2. Tea, you will no doubt always find me with a cuppa, normally mummy temperature cos there's always something to do!

3. Blurfing, I spend so much time looking at all the fantastic talent I forget the time and get a numb bum, then realise I haven't done half the stuff I planned to do, (my now fiance would say I like to BLOG)

4. Like Clare I'm addicted to buying craft mags. Every month I say to myself - that's it, no more. I already subscribe to three and never really make anything from them, I just love to look over them. Then the next month comes around and I end up buying every one in case it might have something nice in it! Would hate to miss anything! Must cost me a real fortune but I do keep them and reread when not blurfing.

5. I'm quite partial to jacobs crackers, It has to be JACOBS, with either cheese, peanut butter or just butter!

Nearly forgot to pass this award onto five other fabulous blogs... They have to be my New teams mates from the Basic Grey challenges, I realise there's eight of us but I also know that a few of you have already been awarded fabulousness so accept this with love!

Top Ten and a TOOT!

Whilst I was doing my usual blurfing I came across the very lovely Dawns Blog and I saw this...

The talented Kristine is challenging us to pick 10 of our most favourite creations of 2008 and I also saw this on Terrie B's blog too....

I decided to have a look at my last years creations, it is such fun to look back over what I have made and remember those I forgot and haven't even posted yet!!! which in turn leaves me to reflect on my Year of blogging... it's been wonderful and I've met so many talented and fantastic people I love that the world is so close to me now!

Here goes.... `Some of my favourites`... and if you would like more info on each I've created a link so click on the picture to be taken to the post! (I hope)

SO NOW I CHALLENGE YOU TO LOOK BACK OVER 2008!!!

AND POST UP YOUR TOP 10 LEAVE ME A COMMENT SO I CAN COME VISIT YOU

AND OF COURSE PASS IT ON

Did ya see? did ya, did ya? I've been featured on....

Wow so happy right now! and I have also received a couple of awards which I will get to later, thank you all for your continued interest, who I wish to inspire?

Have a fantastic day! Happy HuGs Kim x

An Award

Well, I am the WORST blogger when it comes to accepting the awards and acknowledgement that fellow bloggers bestow on me, not sure why sometimes just feel a little overwhelmed and also need to get it on my blog straight away or it fails to ever be posted!

This amazing award I am accepting from my wonderful blogging sister Em you probably don't need any introduction to this amazing woman, A HUGE thanks to Em for giving me this award which holds so much meaning!

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!These blogs are exceedingly charming.These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.They are not interested in prizes or 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 then must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

I feel truly honoured. The words that go with this award are so true!. When I joined the blogging world I never thought I would become a blog addict, and I never thought I would become friends with so many talented Ladies...it's too difficult to chose eight that haven't already received this award!

So a huge thank you to you all xxx

Award!

Wow I am lucky... I was given this beautiful award from Rima...

I'm also very grateful that people are visiting my blog and I appreciate the time to leave me the lovely comments! I love visiting other people's blogs, who visit me!

3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
