Blog award!!

The last many weeks have been crazy for me and I've snitched few moments here and there to craft.  I've not been visiting blogs as much as I like to, and I even missed blog awards that I've been given. Sorry!!

So now I'm getting my act together!!   
Thank you, thank you, thank you to
Amy from http://amyscrafting.blogspot.com
Jennifer from http://cubbycrafts.blogspot.com
Marie from http://inkdwings.blogspot.com

You will want to check out those ladies' blogs! 

Here's how the Leibster Award works...

The Liebster Blog Award is to show appreciation of smaller blogs (under 200 followers) and to help with readership and joy!!!  As part of the tradition the award is to be passed along to five other blogs that have motivated and inspired me...  :)

To accept the Award you must:

1. Link back to the person's blog who gave it to you and thank them.

2. Post on your blog.

3. Give to five other Bloggers who you appreciate and value.

4. Leave a comment on the five blogs you choose and let them know.

 

(you can right click on the pic, save it to your computer, then add it to your sidebar)

  

 

So here are 5 amazing crafters whose blogs I really enjoy visiting and being inspired by...

Leibster blog award!!

Thank you so much to Donna for this Leibster Award!!!  Check out her blog...Donna's Dreamworks

This blog award is for blogs with less than 300 followers and is to be passed along to 3-5 blogs.  

It is certainly true that the number of followers does not indicate the amount of talent of the blogger because I have found some wonderfully talented crafters with not a lot of followers.  So here are a few great blogs that I have recently found for you to check out as I pass this award along...
