Blog Award

I have been so behind lately and I delayed posting this blog award from a very dear friend, Karen.

Part of the award is that I have to tell three things that make me different from everyone else. Hmm . . . I'm not so sure that I am so different from everyone else. I could think of lots more things in common than differences. LOL!

1. I used to be a big time refunder. When my kids were little I would use coupons and send for rebates almost every day. We seldom paid for toys for the kids. I still use coupons but don;t refund much any more.
2. I have two Master's degrees: one from The Ohio State University in Early & Middle Childhood Education and one from Indiana University in Library & Information Science.
3. I work full time for the Registrar department at Indiana University.

Now I get to pass this award on to five of my favorite bloggers.

1. Joan's Garden
2. Selma's Stamping Corner
3. Crafting the Web
4. craftieodamae
5. BeeBee Stamps!

Check out these talented ladies! I get lots on inspiration from all of them.

Blog Award

I received this Sunshine Award from a very dear friend of mine Karen Knegten (Hi there, Karen! And thanks for thinking of me!) And she followed up the award with a few rules for passing it on:

• Pass it on to 6 bloggers
• Put a link to your nominees within your post
• Let your nominees know that you are passing this award along to them by leaving by leaving a comment on their blog
• Link to the blog of the person who nominated you for this award

So I have to choose six people to pass the award forward. And you know it's such a difficult decision because I've met some wonderful people and amazing artists since I started stamping. So here are my picks:

Cammie: Such an amazing artist. I am always wowed by her talent and I so enjoy going to the library on my lunch hour and picking her creations out of the Crafts 'n Things magazine.

Glitterbabe aka Stef: Love your sense of humor and so enjoy your creations. Thanks for always visiting my blog.

handmade by lilacanglia: Angie has been my friend for a very long time. I love her work and she always makes me smile with her creations.

Wendy: I love her cards. She has an amazing ability to make everything special!

Valerie: My best long distance friend! She inspired me with her cards. She inspires me to want to be a better person. She's overcome so much with such grace. You go girl!

Betty: She inspires me to try new things, like making a blog. She makes wonderful cards too!

Thanks to all the ladies I mentioned. They've enhanced my life, made me a better artist and I am proud to call them friends. Enjoy the sunshine award, ladies!
