An award

Thanks very much to Julie for this award. Apparently I'm supposed to share 5 little known facts about myself. I've previously done something very similar here if you care to look.

I have way too many blogs that I love to pick any at the moment. So as usual thanks to all you guys out there for all the wonderful inspiration!

Award.....

I have been deeply honoured to receive an award from one of my favourite bloggers Mad Aunt Bernard who describes herself as a warty old woman in a sack (LOL) If you haven't been to her blog before, pay it a visit. It'll cheer you up on a dull day.

If you wish to accept the award the rules of acceptance are:

List five current "obsessions".

Pass the award on to five other fabulous blogs.

On your post of receiving this award make sure you include the person that gave you the award and link back to them.

When you list your five winners of the award make sure you link back to them.

Let your five winners know they are in receipt of the award by leaving a comment on their blogs.

Hmmm, not a hugely obsessive person but here goes:

1. Going on holiday abroad soon for the first time in years. I'm obsessing about what to take.
   
2. Stargate - avid science fiction fan and I never get fed up with watching the repeats of these guys exploits
   
3. My computer and blogging - spend way too much time at this.
   
4. Jewel Quest - actually I am obsessed. Have to play at least 2 levels daily.
   
5. Crafting - goes without saying really otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I have lots of fave blogs but here are 5 of the best:

1. Cake Wrecks
   
2. Dog Daisy Chains
3. KO..... OK?
4. Little Princess Cards
   
5. Jabberwocky
   

Thanks Kaz

For the blog award. Would you believe I subscribe to over 70 blogs at the moment. Thanks to everyone whose wonderful artwork and poetry (you know who you are!) inspire me! Kaz has some fab creations on her blog. Go visit here

Helpful Blogger Award

I was a bit blown away to receive this very unexpectedly from Calv, particularly when I read what he'd put about me and my blog..... and no I didn't realise I'd been a help LOL!! Thanks again Calv.

I'm supposed to pass this on but seeing there's at least 30 people whose blogs I regularly visit at the moment, it's very difficult to make a choice so I'm going to do my usual and say thanks to all the talented bloggers out there whose creativity just keeps growing and growing!

PS.... you must go and look Calv's blog and see his amazing inked fruit!

"I Love Your Blog" Award

I am very chuffed yet again to be nominated for a blog award. This time by Willy (from Tenerife) and Jo for the "I love your blog" award. I'm going to opt out from passing it on this time as I've only recently done this but I very much appreciate being nominated and many thanks again to everyone who leaves such lovely comments.

Blogging Friends Forever Award

I have had my first award from overseas(!) Finn and I have been admiring each other's blogs for a while and she has given me the Blogging Friends Forever award - one of the people nominated has to live overseas so I guess thats me! I opted out of passing an award on last time but there are quite a few blogs that have given me inspiration lately so I'm going to pass this on.

2. 4 of them have to be dedicated followers of your blog and 1 has to be new and live in another part of the world.
