I am so Thankful!

An Award from Carolyn Bounds!

Now, I am not very good about acknowledging awards and I apologize for that right now...I mean to put them on my blog and then life gets in the way...Here is my make up for all those I have missed in the past...Carolyn and I have hit it off since day one...I believe we met on the now defunct Best of House Mouse Yahoo group! She is so encouraging, not just to me but to EVERYONE! A true stampin' bud can't be found elsewhere!

Several of my cyber stampin' buds and I have talked about what it means to visit blogs and leave and receive comments...tips, encouragement, a recipe...whatever. I can tell you I value each comment and get so tickled from each one! (and I am not going to tell you what Libby told me LOL-I still laugh about that one girl!)

I love the wording and kindness that is included in this! It truly is about all the new friends I have made here in cyber space! It is exciting and fun to chat with you all!



Here is the wording that accompanies this award:

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY- nearness in space, time, and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming; and these kind bloggers, aim to find friends and to be friends. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please, give more attention to these writers!

Deliver this award to eight bloggers, who must choose eight more, and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award.

Here are my eight kind bloggers. Please kind eight (LOL) do not feel obligated to post this in anyway...I just want to thank you for the kindness and friendship you have shown me.

Besides Carolyn....

Allison at Stampin When I Can...a soon to be new mama--she amazes me with all she does!

Libby at Libby's Little Addiction...mom to little Courtney and Carter...she cracks me up with her humor...go look at the last card she just posted and you will see what I mean!

Kerry at Three Clovers Designs. I can always depend on Kerry to be there and to leave an encouraging comment. A true kind soul!

Charla at StampinWizard. My dear friend since first grade and the cohort in crime who jumped into this stampin' thing with me! We totally enable each other...there is always a new tool somewhere to be had LOL!

Jovi from Inky Impressions. I have known Jovi probably the longest of all my new cyber friends. We both belonged to the first House Mouse Group on Yahoo. I always remember getting a Jovi RAK, her cards are just amazing. (and she is also one cool biker babe!)

Curt O'Brien from Curt's World. Besides being the rare man in this stamping blogosphere, he has true talent and has become a great friend!

Mel at Mel Stampz. Mel is one of those stampers that shares so much of her time and talent! She has been so encouraging to me!

Dawn at Crafty Ramblings. Dawn and I belong to SBS 23 together...that's how we met. She has always been so kind and encouraging with her comments!

Melissa Mason(no blog) and Katie Schmid at klaytonsmommy. Melissa is my sweet niece. I have crafted with her since she was a wee one. My home has many of her wonderful creations..I wish the darn girl with get with it and get a blog...she should be sharing her talent. And Katie is the new niece in the family and boy she fits right in I tell ya! She and Melissa are the next generation!

Oops that's NINE and I could keep on going!

Thanks to all my stampin' friends who visit here. I am so blessed!
