I SHALL FEEL MUCH BETTER AFTER THIS

Hi Everyone

I hope your day has been good.

As per normal mine has flown by far too quickly!!!

I got up super early today so that I could back-track and find all my lovely blog friends who kindly passed on to me The Versatile Blogger award.  Thank you ladies.

More about that later .. .. I will start off with my share for the day.

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "40-015" You are the Bestest
Backing Papers:  Funky Fairy (sadly no longer trading)
Martha Stewart Punch:  Daisy
ProMarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box

I might have to start colouring in those flowers on the ground in different colours.  They look like a splattering of poached eggs!!!  LOL!!!

So now round to my award

I received this lovely award from the following very thoughtful blog buddies.  I trawled back and hope I have found everyone who kindly gave me this award .. .. if I have missed anyone then I am very sorry :-(

Christine (Kent Crafter)

Jacki  (Scullduggery cards by Jacki)

Michaela (My Paper Crafting Creations)

Pearl  (Kitten Kraftz)

Roma (Romadoll Loves Cardmaking)

Thank you very much ladies for thinking of me.  You are all so very kind and if any of my visitors fancy a little hop around blogland then the links I have added will take you to some gorgeous and inspirational blogs!  

Of course there are always things to do alongside accepting such awards .. .. .. the first being that I need to tell you seven facts about myself.

Well I have revealed so much about myself throughout my blog that I feel sure there can be hardly anything you don't know about me .. .. but to keep the fun going here we go (if any are repeats from my past then I apologise).

1.  My craft pod is sited in the smallest bedroom in our house (personally I feel I should have the biggest LOL!!) and in there I have crammed anything and everything so there is only just enough room for me and no-one else!!!  I love it in there!!!  Especially when it is tidy!!!

2.  My days and weeks are always far too short.  I start a day and it is ending .. .. and start a week and that quickly ends too.  That must mean I am having fun.

3.  My wedding work is slowly taking over most of my craft time but I still have to make at least one "non-wedding creation" to make my day complete.  The weddings have started to become my "day job" and then my blog creation happens early evening normally.

4.  I try really hard to post a card every day onto my blog.

5.  As I get busier I'm afraid I just can't keep up with commenting.  But I do try .. .. I promise!!

6.  I find blogland such a fabby place but have to restrict myself on the visiting front as it is so easy to lose track of time.  I tend to visit early morning before the day takes hold .. .. and if I do manage a daytime visit it is when my left hand is holding something together that I have glued .. .. whilst my right hand does the typing!!

7.  Point 6 proves that I can multi task  .. .. ..  confirmation also that I am female.  LOL!!!

Phew I feel so much better now that is done.  A bit like emptying the ironing basket!!

The hardest part of accepting an award though is when you have to pass it on to other bloggers but  how can I choose out of all of the hundreds of blogs that are out there which inspire me day after day after day!   We are so lucky to have all this inspiration at our fingertips.

Plus it doesn't have to be a cardmaking or craft blog to give me inspiration.  I can get ideas from looking at anything.  A dress, a car, a building or even a kitchen layout  .. .. and it isn't because I want to own these things .. .. it is usually the way things have been constructed or the colours/textures!!

So I am afraid I am going to chicken out of the nominating part and simply say that anyone who visits my blog is more than welcome to take this award because if you have visited here the chances are I have visited you too and found a lovely big dollop of inspiration!!

A couple of answers to questions too.  The Teddy Bo card I posted here actually came coloured like this .. .. it was just a print and go jobbie.

Then there is the case of the "not so easy to find heart" from here.

Here it is .. .. lurking on that lovely bottle of red!!

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Love
