Hi Everyone
Happy Friday!
A blog post that I never in my wildest dreams thought I would write .. .. something so amazing has happened .. .. and I just can't believe it.
Me and my teeny, tiny blog have made an appearance in the British Craft Awards 2015
under the category of "Most Inspirational Craft Blog".
How scary and unbelievable is that?!?!?
Who would have thought that little old me and my teeny tiny blog would be a contender!! I would certainly never have put money on it that's for sure!
But no matter how many times I pinch myself I really am there .. .. alongside these other awesome nominees:

I feel like a Sunday league footballer who has been asked to be a substitute in the Premiership and cannot believe my blog has even been mentioned in the same breath as those above. I know I stand no chance of winning but how lovely to be nominated.
Perhaps more people like looking for hearts than I thought LOL!!
So this blog post serves as a good time to thank my lovely family for putting up with me and my crafty mess and for all the help and encouragement they always give to me. I couldn't do any of what I do each day without their support, especially Mr Heart.
It is also a thank you to all you lovely blog pals who still continue to visit my blog even though I disappear on wedding missions every so often .. .. and whose comments I often take an age to return :-( Sorry!
It is also a huge thank you to whoever thought my blog was worthy of being added to the list of nominees.
If you fancy being part of the voting and the chance of winning £200 of crafty goodies then you just need to visit The British Craft Awards website and cast your votes. There is one section headed: Stamp Range You Couldn't Resist. I bet you can guess where my vote would go in that section! LOL!!
Enjoy your weekend everyone when it arrives .. .. don't forget the clocks go back an hour!! I wonder what we will all do with our extra hour? I would like to think I would have an extra hour of sleep but I know I won't. I am rubbish at sleeping in.
Take care everyone.
Love
Whoop whoop whoop - sooooooo thrilled for you Jules - it couldn't happen to a nicer person for sure - well done :o)

ReplyDeleteSorry i have not been around for a bit. We sold our house and bought another. I have been purging and sorting so that I could get the movers in for quotes. No use having them quote on stuff that is not going with us!
Finally finished for now and can take a break until we move Jan 24.
Lots of time to catch up on visiting now!

I hope everyone else votes for you Jules and yes, you and your little blog are very awesome and inspirational!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh Jules great news you deserve to be up there!! i for one love your blog, the inspiration you give to me is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have never see a card i haven't liked on your blog and that's not an easy feat ,
crafters usually have one or two that dont get much credit for.
anyway good luck to you xxxxxx from one of your fans x
