Versatile Blog Award recipient

I was selected as one of 7 bloggers to receive "The Versatile Blogger" award.  I've seen this cool award passed around before and am so happy to be a recipient!


As a recipient of The Versatile Blogger Award, there are 3 rules to follow…

1. Thank the person who awarded you.
2. Tell 7 things about yourself that your readers may not know.
3. Award 7 other bloggers with this award.

I am so very thankful to my sweet blog friend, Ms. Judy (a.k.a. Moose Lady) from Scrappin' Nana...I just love her moose avatar!  It makes me smile each time I see it.  It's so wonderful to meet fellow bloggers and paper crafters.  Thanks, Ms. Judy, for this fun award.  I'm honored and so happy to have "met" you through our blogs... :)

Rather than state the obvious (ie. how much I love my hubby and kids and family), I am going to state 7 things make me smile...

1.  My hubby doing the dishes...(don't have a pic of this)

2.  My kids laughing and getting along...

3.  Christmas decorations, lights, and homebaked cookies.

4.  Dunkin Donuts coffee...

5.  Working with things that glitter and shine...

6.  Traveling...Someday, I will get one of these!!!

 7.  Googly eyes...

Now on to my nominations for the "Versatile Blog Award."  I hope you spend time clicking their picture to check out their creative blogs.  I am always amazed when I do.  I have such fun and creative blog friends!!

1.  Rachel (my fab sis) at Yarn Over ... she is definitely one versatile blog momma!  I love her whit, taste in movies and books, sense of humor, and the fact that she considers a day with a hot cup of tea, pastry, and yarn or good book (or both, because she can do 10 or more things at once) her best day EVER!...

2.  Crystal at Rustic Daisy.  I met Crystal at a crop one night about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago...I actually think I pee'd myself from laughing the first time we met.  She will say just about anything that crosses her mind and most of the time it's hilarious.  Crystal is one of the most artistic people I know and has the "Taj Majal" of craft supplies!  It is because of her that I even got into card making.  In fact, I should start sending her my Paypal bills for craft supplies!  LOL...  

3.  Belinda at Bee's Hive of Drama.  Belinda just makes me laugh and I love that.  On top of being super funny, she is crafty...which I consider a lethal combo! :)  I have to be careful not to read her blog while the kids are sleeping next to me...I'd wake them from bouncing the bed and snorting from laughing. :)

4.  Amanda at Crafts by Amanda.  I met Amanda during a "blog hop" and card exchange.  I just love her whimsical happy designs.  She is also new to this card game.  So fun to see what she has cooking...

5.  Wendy Roo and Gilby from Gilby's Craftster.  Wendy and I have partnered up on a couple of blog hops and exchanges.  She is one of the sweetest and most patient person I have met in this blog world.  She is also very creative and gets all of her coolest ideas from her sweet doggy, Gilby.  :)  Gilby, Gigi sends her licks and hugs for a speedy recovery!

6.  Sarah from Simply Sarah.  I also met Sarah through hopping and exchanging cards.  I just love her designs and the cuteness factor that goes into most of her projects.  I am a huge fan of cute and whimsical.  It was always a treat to get her cards in the mail for our exchanges.  They were always one of my favorites.  

7.  Last but not least is, Tracy from Tracy's Cricut Corner.  Tracy and I both participate in September Ninth's Tacky Tuesday Challenges.  On more than two occasions, I have swiped ideas from the cards that Tracy has designed.  I recently discovered her blog and am a new follower.  She has some of the most adorable card designs...

  

Many thanks to Ms. Judy at Scrappin Nana for awarding this award to me.  I hope it continues along to other fun and versatile blogs out there!!!
