Blog Awards

Hi all,

Hope you had a lovely weekend and you were wrapped up warm inside :) Just a quick post to say that I received a Blog Award from both Sally and Nicci, which I am thrilled to receive - thanks ladies. Okay, I've been rather naughty and have received Sally's for quite sometime, but
haven't done anything about it as one, it came at the beginning of October which is a busy time for me and the Stampin' Up! year and two, I have to reveal seven things about myself! For Nicci's it's not so bad, I only have to reveal three things about myself, so perhaps you'll forgive me for combining the two? :D

Blog Award One - from Sally


Blog Award Two - from Nicci


Okay, so I'll combine the two Blog Award rules together and will reveal seven things about me:

1) I eat crisps with chopsticks when I'm crafting so that I don't get greasy fingers!

2) My favourite colour is pale blue.

3) I am very competitive when it comes to playing games.

4) My dream country to visit is New Zealand.

5) I enjoy watching medical tv dramas.

6) I love the smell of Yankee Candles - Clean Cotton.

7) I love Cadbury's hot chocolate when it's cold outside.

Hope you've enjoyed reading a few things about me :) Now for the hard part, sending on these Blog Awards to seven people:

In no particular order, I would like to pass on the Blog Awards to:

1) Aimes
2) Steph
3) Amanda
4) Aimes, Caryn & Kate
5) Sarah
6) Caryn
7) Sara

Thanks for stopping by, check out the blogs above and see you soon.

Blog Award

Hi all,

Okay, so how happy am I? After all my crafting over the weekend I find out that Aimes has nominated me for another Blog Award because she thinks I deserve it! :)

So, below is the award to add to my collection :) I think I need to pass it onto five more people. This as always is a tough one because I have so many blogs in my favourite folder that are truly inspirational. With this in mind, please can I cheat and give everyone who visits my blog the opportunity to award themselves with the below award from me.


Have a good evening.

Bye for now,

Alex

Catching Up On Blog Awards...

Hi all,

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend soaking up the sunshine :) The weather has been really warm here in Essex. Fingers crossed for Bank Holiday weekend next week that the good weather continues!

I've been really fortunate to receive three Blog Awards recently, yes, three - can you believe it! I'm really appreciative and want to thank a few ladies for passing these onto me.

The first one was received by my upline, Carole - thank you so much for thinking of me. Please visit Carole's blog, as she has created some wonderful cards and more recently has lots of baby projects blogged as she's just become an Auntie to baby Alice.


Thank you to Aimes for the below Blog Award. Please visit her blog as she has produced lots of lovely cards that are inspiring and wonderful cute 3D projects. Lastly, I would like to thank Sara for giving me the same Blog Award below - it's really appreciated, and I'm glad to hear that my blog makes you smile :) Please visit her blog as she has just recently created three "A Rose Is A Rose" cards that are truly amazing. I might have to CASE you soon, as these are just wonderful! You've done this stamp set justice :)


Now is the tricky part... passing on the blog awards to five other people, well actually, I think it's 15 now isn't it? Can I cheat please? I can think of 15 other people to pass these awards onto, but believe me, it's really hard to limit my thanks to just 15 - there's so many wonderful blogs saved in my favourite folder it could take me awhile. With this in mind, please accept this Blog Award from me if you're reading this as you deserve to be passed on the award. However, I have made a list of 16 below of lovely blogs I regularly visit - I know I was only meant to have 15, but one for luck as they say :) Please check out the below blogs because they deserve a Blog Award too:

Carole
Aimes
Sara
Kate
Steph
Nikki
Sarah-Jane
Alison
Sarah H
Helen
Monica
Amber
Debby
Sarah B
Tricia
Karen

Have a good week people, I'll be back another time with more photo uploads.

Until then,

Alex

Blog Award...

WOW: How lovely to come home from work today to find a comment on my blog saying that I’ve been recognised for my new blog! It’s very much appreciated, and I thank you Jo for giving me the award… I’ve only had this blog for two weeks, but it’s been fun posting about the new adventure I’ve just started - being an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love typing my little news and uploading new cards that I’ve been creating using Stampin’ Up! products. I’m glad there’s people out there taking the time to read my blog and looking at my cards I’ve been creating so far. Keep on returning to see my new creations… I love to read your comments!

Jo has given me a blog award!

It’s so sweet of her, and it’s nice to know there are people out there who read my blog!

The idea of this award is to pass it along to ten others, as follows:

1. Post the award logo on your blog.
2. Add the link to the person who nominated you.
3. Nominate ten other blogs and post their links as well.
4. Let those people know that they received the award.

So here goes:

1 - Carole
2 - Monica
3 - Steph

4 - Sara

5 - Kirsty

6 - Marion

7 - Nina

8 - Nicci
9 - Lauren
10 - Nichole

So there we go! I could have gone on, but ten is the limit! The majority of the blogs above are from other people in the UK that are Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. However, the last two are American bloggers who are a great inspiration to me. There are so many fabulous blogs out there, follow the links above and you'll get to see a small selection!

Thanks for stopping by,

Alex
