Yummy Candy and the Blog Awards

No cards to show you today.. It is my son's 18th Birthday, and we will be spending some time together with the family.. However, I wanted to let you know about some fabulous Blog Candy from the other crafty bloggers, here they are (in no particular order):

- Fiona is celebrating her son's 7th Birthday
- Maria's One Year Blogaversary Blog Candy
- Steph's 500 Hits Blog Candy
- Tina's 40th Birthday Blog Candy
- Crystal has a goal to have 100 followers by May 14th

And now I want to thank Trish for these awesome Awards that she has passed on to me!!



Thank you so much Trish, I really appreciate that you thought of me!! Here are the rules for these awards:

"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."

I have had a really hard time deciding on who to pass these awards too.. How in the world am I suppose to pick only eight??? So I decided to pass it to everyone of you, but especially to these two young crafters:

- Fern, she is just 11 years old, and her creations are AWESOME!!
- Agus, she is only 14, you have to visit her blog!!

Hugs!!
