Isn't this adorable! Thank you so much for honoring me with this award Cazzie!
You can visit Cazzie's awesome site here.

I am to forward this award on but I just don't have time right now. I am sooo sorry. Plesae read below ...

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We are making a trip back home (Midwest from Cali) to be with family. This is a cross country trip. I will be gone until possibly October or so. Our car has major mechanical issues right now and we have to make this trip on motorcycles. My sweet African Grey is safe at my sisters and I've only got a bit of stuff to do yet, but we are leaving a week earlier than originally planned!! :o
That means things needed to be rearranged somewhat and I have less time now, lol!! We are leaving Thursday, May 28th.

We are taking the laptop so I will be able to check in and maybe post some stuff if I can figure out DH's laptop, lmao. Never tried graphics on it yet. I can be reached by email if needed.

Could everyone please hold off on awards and tagging while I am gone. While I love to get them, and am honorded you think enough of me to send them, they will be hard to keep up on while I am gone and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Thank you so much for understanding.

2 Awards

I've been honored with two awards from a couple of fantastic ladies.

From Laurie ...

From Cazzie ...

The top one is a certificate of appreciation and approval and is from my friend Laurie over at Laurie Made Me Scraps.

She has a fantastic blog (as always) and some awesome kits.

Please visit her blog and leave her some love if you download anything from her site.

And the second cute little award is from Cazzie over at Cazzie's Scraps.

She also has an adorable site and lots of lil goodies too. Be sure to go visit and say thanks if you download something.

I am to pass along the top award to at least 6 other blogs/sites. (The next one is to be passed along too). I just cannot right now but wanted to acknowlede both Laurie and Cazzie for thinking of me. Thank you dears.

Maybe I can find time when I return.

New Awards

I needed to take the time to get these awards listed. I've just started feeling better and want to do these incase I slide down hill again.

I am so sorry, but I have been so far behind that everywhere I went someone already had these awards, lol. So I will have to settle for mentioning the awesome ladies who have found it in their hearts to give me these great awards. Thank you all so much for thinking of me!!

This award was given to me by Andrea at HoneyMoon Arts. Drop by her site and leave some love if you download something. Thanks Andrea!!

This award was given to me by 4 different ladies!

This award is being given to the blogs which are very charming,

these bloggers aims are to find friends not self promotion.

The hope of this award is that, even when the links are cut, even more friendships are propogated. Give this award to eight blogs, who in turn must pass it on to eight more blogs, along with the award and the rules.

Since I don't have anyone new to send them on to ... if you have stopped by and know of a friends blog who deserves these wonderful awards please feel free to snag and pass them along!

OK ... this award came from these wonderful ladies. Thank you girls!!

Andrea: HoneyMoon Arts
