Recent Awards!

Recently been given these awards....
you know how slow I am blogging about them

in no particular order......


From Teresa


From Ali at Crafty Ribbons


this one is from Kimmi

it is a Karma award!

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends.
They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award"

Now I am gonna take a cop out, and say if you visit me
and have taken time to leave a comment
then please help yourself to one or all of these awards!

I am grateful for all the friends I have made here.
Even the ones who leave cheeky comments!
And the spelling police LOL

Love to you all xxx

Saturday stuff

Had planned to go to Inverness
to see my folks and do a bit of shopping
but Hubby has the cold....
Thankfully, its not the dreaded man flu,
so am very relieved by that!
Due to my mum's respiratory problems
we never go near her when we have sniffles.

It gave me a chance to catch up on stamping images for
swaps & blogging about goodies folks have sent me!!

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.


I want to pass them on to anyone who visits me, and who would like to receive it with love!

Christmas Candy & Blog Awards

Mates, mates, mates....


well my lovely buddy Emma has a great blog Christmas Candy on ....so go check it out and see her lovely candy.
The response she has had for her appeal for cards for the troop for Christmas has been amazing! Everyone has been so generous....probably for at least three reasons....

Crafters are lovely people!
This is a wonderful cause.
And Emma is much loved friend to many so when she asked they showed how much they cared!


Also I received these two fabby awards from my lovely friend Chrissy who is am amazing
card maker and wonderful artist!

She did my lovely drawing of Poppy at the top of my blog!



To translate the gift from Portuguese to English, it means:
"This blog invests and believes, the proximity"

[meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy]

"They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate?
Then let's try to give more attention to them!
So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text."

I am aware that lots of folk have also received these awards....so I need have a look around and see who I am gonna pass them on to......

thanks Sammi!

I got this lovely lovely award today from Sammi!

And I promise I will pass it on in a wee while...



but I need to go walk Poppy dog who is being a wee pest!
