A gift from Kerry

I wanted to pop in today to share with you a wonderful gift I received from my fellow AnnaBelle's team member (a few weeks ago now, just got time now to get it posted!), the fabulous Kerry from Stamped Simplicity, what a wonderful surprise- many thanks Kerry {{hugs}}.  If you have not been for a visit to Kerry's blog I suggest you grab a cuppa and go for a fabulous crafting journey, there are looks of awesome goodies to be found!!

Passing the baton on to 5 others- this is always difficult for me, so many to choose from

Angelique- My buddy and 'Miss Fixit', if I am struggling with a project I can always call on Ange to help out!  I love her style Clean, Simple and filled with Kraft!!

Iwona (aka Chupa)- How can one person make so many cards with the same amount of time as we all have, and have each one look absolutely stunning

Angela- An amazing style, what ever she puts her mind and creativity to always turns to gold! Haven't seen a bad one yet!!

Andrea (I know she already has been given this award, but because she is so awesome she can have it again-free of charge-lol!!  What this lady can do with a sponge and some ink is magnificent

Julie- making card making look absolutely effortless

-Right-click on the award and save it to your computer to add to your blog.


-Choose FIVE (5) worthy recipients and list them. Next to their blog name, give ONE reason why you think their blog is special. What catches your eye about them? What do you love?

-On your blog page, list 5 things about yourself. Include at least one thing you enjoy about your craft.

• I am an extremely messy crafter and only find my mojo after dark, after the kids are in bed and I can concentrate without interruption!
•  I believe that my 'Loved Ones' spirits are around me always, guiding me and keeping me safe
• I have just finished reading 'Ghosts among Us- revealing the truth about the afterlife'
  by James Van Praagh. I am currently reading 'The Happiness Trap' by Russ Harris, I think I am on a journey of discovery!
• my creative style has changed so much since I began crafting all those years ago. I must admit, that even though I enjoy a trip down memory lane, I am a little embarrassed by some of my early cards/creations- thought they were fabulous at the time-doh!!
• fabulous at starting project, shocking when it come to completing, the thrill of the beginning is always great, as it progresses and doesnt turn out as it was in my mind, I switch off and struggle to get to the end

Well, that is me in a nut shell

Thanks again, to Kerry for passing this fabulous badge my way
