Lots of Thank yous

Hello everyone. Hope you are all managing to find a little bit of sunshine in this damp and dismal summer we seem to be having. You certainly have to grab the nice days with both hands don't you!!

I'm taking a bit of time out to do some much need blogger housekeeping today. I've been overwhelmed lately by the awards I have been given and also the lovely pieces of craft some very kind bloggers have sent me. You really are a lovely lot!!!


I was given the Circle of Friends award by both Judith and Lynne. Both of whom are very supportive blogging friends and have really interesting blogs which are well worth a visit.
I understand I have to pass this on to 5 other bloggers and I have to be honest and say it is really hard to pick just 5 as I count you all as friends so although I have picked 5 if you are reading this then please help yourself.

Michelle for your talent and generosity
Janet another wonderful inspiration and local crafter. Hope it makes you smile!!
Debbie for all those grungepaper creations!
Sally for being my first follower and a wonderful card maker
Karen for inspiring me with the tag challenges!!

I was also given The Beautiful Blogger award from Clare and again need to pass it on to another 5. So here goes:

Lottie for your beautiful artwork
Lesley a fellow Graphicus admirer
Jane for being a fellow scrapbooker
Anne who writes such thought provoking posts
Kate for being another wonderful card maker

I also have to say a huge thank you to Michelle who sent me this absolutely beautiful tag I had admired on her blog. I was blown away by such generosity. I shall treasure it for ever Michelle.


Lastly, (are you still awake!!!!), I wanted to show you the lovely "winged" RAK (Random Act of Kindness for those of you who, like me didn't know what this stood for and had to look it up) Brenda sent me for coming in the Top 5 of the Allsorts challenge several weeks ago. Isn't it beautiful.

Told you I needed to get up to date.
