Whahoo

Yay, I was awarded this "Beautiful Blogger" this week by Debbie of http://debbiebakk.blogspot.com/  I'm guessing it's because my blog was considered beautiful rather than me but I'm very happy either way! Thanks again, it is much appreciated.

So there are a couple of points to be followed when receiving such an award. I'll start with thanking my parents for the way in which they raised me, my husband for all ..., oh, hang on - wrong acceptance speech!





Seriously, I have to pass it on to 15 other fabulous bloggers who are:

And I also have to tell you 7 things about me that you might not know. So here goes;

2)I've visited 16 countries on 4 different continents
3)I sponsor 4 kids in Kenya
4) I used to be a radio and TV presenter
5) I love Sci Fi and action films
6) My appendix was removed as an emergancy op when I was 40yrs old
7)I have picnicked on an abandoned airstrip in Canada and also on Mt Sinai

So there you have it. Whilst I'm here, you might like to see this card I made as a thankyou for my friend who helped babysit my foster babies.

Thanks sew much

Yey, I have another new laptop (no thanks to PCWorld!) and am finally able to hit the blog world again.

Last week was a busy card making week for me and here's one of the cards I made. I wanted to say "thanks" to the friend who came with me to the trade show "Stitches" and this seemed appropriate!

 "Sew much thanks...."








I used the Heritage Cricut cartridge for the sewing machine and inked the edge of the shape. The scalloped edge was from Accent Essentials
