I am so very honored and thankful that you my friends think I deserve these awards. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and hopefully I do disappoint no one.

I will edit this post in the future but did not want to keep waiting to post them. On the edit I will say a few more things about myself for your recreation, lol

Now, let's get off the red carpet for others to come a get these awards.

They are free to all my followers...too many many too mention but you know who you are. 

Grab them and walk on the RED CARPET  :0 too. and then show them off on your blogs and do the same to others. Make their days!

We all deserve them. Blogging is a hard job.

If I have forgotten anyone, please, accept my sincere apologies. I tend to accumulate them and sometimes I forget to move them to their folder where I keep them to avoid forgetting any, but.....you know what I mean, right? :)

Thanks again.......they really touch my heart every time.

Love you all!

NOTE: I tried to find a red carpet animation but I was bit afraid of some sites...don't want to catch a virus :(

BLOG AWARDS AND KEEPING WITH LIFE ITSELF

Tuesday, September 21st already!

I have received some BLOG AWARDS and I have been accumulating them for a while now but time has come where I have to THANK the friends who were SO THOUGHTFUL & KIND to pass this awards to me.

I will start with the NEWEST AWARD until I get to the OLDER one.

Thanks to Carolyn aka doxieluv01

http://carolinescraftography.blogspot.com/2010/09/blog-award-time.html

for thinking of me when it came the time to give awards from the new hottest blog: 

PAPERCRAFTSTAR

These are the rules:

Once you picked up your award, please post it on your blog and answer these two questions:

1. The best project I ever made was...

This might not be my best project but she is one good dog, :)

2. I like to craft because...

when I craft I put everything else in the back burner and it makes me feel good and creative.

--------"Then select 3 people to award the blog award to, posts their names and blog addresses and go leave a comment at the blogs for the award winner to pick up the star from their blog, who will then do the same thing".--------------

 

Ok, since this is my newest given award I decided to follow the rules.

 

My 3 picks and please, forgive me if I did not choose you today.

 

1- Sheena who is a darling to me and the queen of cards---http://lilflowerslynne1.blogspot.com/

2---Jessica who is doing the SERENADE series with us who is really giving us more and more everyday with her lovely cards---http://luvcraftingwithcricut.blogspot.com/

 

3- Jennie who is one of my newest followers and she is from Puerto Rico where I come from. I visited her blog not too long ago and she does very, very well with her adorable projects---http://earthyscrap.blogspot.com/

BLOG AWARDS AND A CARD

Hello friends!

I have received a few awards in the past weeks and wanted to share them with you all.

I always get so excited when I get them. It always feels so good. But, you all know I like to share them with all my followers and I am asking you to feel free to grab the ones you do not have already. It is always hard to choose whom to give them too..

This one is the 

Versatile Blogger Award 

and it comes from my dear friend

Pam

 and

 from my other dear friend

Sheila aka Sassy Lady

 --------

This one below I didn't have and my dear friend 

Brigit

was very thoughtful too, and made me a proud owner of the  

Cherry on Top Award. 

 Thanks so much Pam, Sassy and Brigit for the beautiful awards.

Thanks from the heart!
(Remember that you can click on their names to go their blogs and get inspire for sure).

Now,

I have a card I made the other day, actually I made two with the same cut  from the

Straight from the Nest Cricut Cartridge.

Hey, chicka

 You can find this cage on page #35 of the handbook. I cover the bird with the one I punched from one of my Fiskars paper punches.

I can't remember the papers I used but the copper dots that I love so much are from a small bottle of dimensional fabric paint. The brand is Polymark and I got it from a ACM, M's or Walmart. I know it was from one of those places and the color is Light Bronze. You put a small drop on the paper and flick it with your fingers to flatten it a bit and voila...you get these darlings.
-----------

This is the second one.
Chirp Up

 The card base I used for both cards is  from A Child's Year,
page #50 I believe. 
(I better start making notes of what I do and what I use so I do not forget :)
I am so sorry. I promise I will get better).
This card I gave to one of my son's friends to give to his mom who is battling breast cancer.

The sentiments "Hey, chicka" and "chirp up" 

are from my  

Robyn aka My Pink Stamper

clear stamp sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

BLOG AWARDS

Thank You my Friends

Here I have been awarded a few times and I am so very touched.

These "PRICELESS" awards come from:

Giselle 

Scrapping Stephanie

Gigi

K-E Creations

Scrapping Eyes Creations

Adriana

Some of these awards I had for a while and did not have time to post until now. If I have forgotten any of my friends who gave me any blog awards, please MY SINCERE APOLOGIES. I did not mean to ignore you. Sometimes I forget to save them or write down who are they from...you know I forget a lot :P

Love you all from my heart and for real and as I go blog hopping I will distribute the awards to different bloggers that I see fit....I mean we are all fit but some bloggers don't get to have awards for whatever reason or do not have some of the ones we have. I think is fair and I know the ones who gave these later awards won't mind.

Thanks So Much!!!!

BLOG AWARDS RECEIVED

I have been so blessed to have followers/friends like you guys.

I am so happy I started this blog.

You keep me going, yeap! you are the ones who keep me going on this journey. I have nobody around me to do my paper projects with but you guys. I used to show them to my hubby and son and in the beginning was like "Oh that is really pretty" or "Oh mom you are doing great" but it has been for a while now
I noticed they are not really much into the "oh and awe" anymore, lol. 

So, it's you and me friends...just you and me...and when I receive these awards they do make me happy...

very happy knowing that I have people who actually likes my work and they take the time to comment 

and take the time to think of me when Blog Awards come around. I am very thankful and grateful 

I have you around with me, that we are together
on this hobby of ours.

These two awards come from 

Cute and Some 

 Thanks dear Audrey!

and this one

 

from my other dear friend

Just 2 Ducky

Thanks dear 2ducky!

I know and you know I haven't follow the rules for the awards for a while now,

but I am going to say a few things about me here:

I used to read a lot prior to paper crafting.

I used to be a store manager.

I am going to loose some weight.

I do not like to cook.

I graduated with high honors when I was smart, lol.

I love the beach.

I am a mother of one.

I do not  like to use the phone much.

I am 5'8" tall. 

I haven't finish my bedroom yet.

and this is for now...

 If you haven't get any of these awards yet, please feel free to snatch it and put it in your blog from me. You all deserve it just for signing in and taking the time to come over and when time permits you even take the time to write your thoughts and share them with us.

Have fun and a great weekend!

On another note here: 

I can't believe nobody guessed I gave the money to my son. 

I still will have the giveaway with the entries I got. I will have as many entries as guesses. For example...if you guess two things, I will enter your name twice...if you tried 3 guesses, I will enter your name three times. The names will be numbers because that way I can use Random.org and have the video.

Thanks to all who participated!

(*-*)

 I do not like to cook---I am a kid at heart---I do not hold grudges---

I like to watch the birds and I feed them all year around---I like to help people---

I wanted to be a missioner when I was young---I am picky---I hate lies---

I am a goof most of the time (at home)---I watched all the Harry Potter's movies up to date---

I like to learn something everyday---I can't keep a tune---I used to smoke---I love gardening.

Ok-Ok...I know I mentioned 14 things. It's because I got two awards.

LOL

Now, I have to award these awards to 14 people and I won't do it. I was thinking the other day it does makes the person feel special...I know that because that is how I feel when I get an award. I want you all to feel special and because right now I have 84 followers I really want to give this award to all of them for taking the time to comment and taking the time to become a follower.  

Well, I know- I know... the Cookbook helped a bit :p but still.

Followers and friends

come on and grab this award and just 

post 7 things about yourself on your blogs 

so we get to know each other a bit more.

Hugs to All!

WOW, I AM THRILLED, I GOT TWO MORE BLOG AWARDS

and they couldn't come at a better time.

 Let me tell explain...

Today while looking for a Priority Mail box in the attic (our attic is packed with stuff) 

I noticed some totes on their sides. I went to straighten them out and 

I stepped on some insulation on the attic floor and 

my whole right leg went through  the ceiling in my bedroom and I almost fell through the hole.

Grrr!

Now, I have to call my handyman and spend money to repair the ceiling instead buying some carts for me. 

Soooo sad!

BUT

these awards are making my day!

  Special Thanks to my 

dear friend Helen from

http://longlivescissorsandpaper.blogspot.com/ 

and to my other 

dear friend Audrey from 

http://cuteandsome.blogspot.com/ 

for making my day a happy one despite almost killing myself today.

The rules are I have to share 7 things about me and pass the award to 15 people.

I will edit this post tomorrow and do what I have to do.

I do have so many things to do tomorrow I hope I can finish them all.

Thanks again,

from my heart.
