Awards, Giveaways and Cards – Oh, My!

This weekend was packed full of friends, festivities and fabulousness, and thus, I wasn’t around much to share with you. But, my dear friends, I will totally make it up to you. Keep reading…

But first, I must thank a dear friend, Bernice, for awarding me this lovely blog award.

You have been TAGGED and want to participate? Then create a post where you post the 'LOVE BLOG' image. You should also blog the person’s link that gave you the award and inform her/him that you accept the award. You then choose 3 - 5 favourite blogs which you also link in your post, then inform each blogger that they have been tagged.

Dear bloggers: The aim of this action is that we bring unknown, good blogs to light, so I would ask you not to blog fellow bloggers that already have 3,000 followers.

Bernice is such a sweetheart and has been such a support for me as I have travelled ever so sloooowly through the Soul Restoration class. This past weekend she also had the most fortunate experience of taking a class taught by Tim Holtz. And we all know what a Tim Holtz fan I am, and thus, extremely green with envy. Despite my greenness, I love visiting Bernice’s blog especially lately, because she has been sharing the most fabulous art journal backgrounds. They are gorgeous and when I get a little time to read up more on the How’d She Do That, I will be trying my own hand at them. Go see! In the meantime, thanks Bernice for sharing the award with me!

And, of course, I will now be sending this award on… oooh, so hard to pick… hmmm… uhmmmm… well… here goes… please visit:

Now, I have to also mention that if you run right over to Christina’s blog, she’s got a giveaway going on for the next few days. If you’ve never heard of Ree Drummond from The Pioneer Woman, then you must simply go there and visit her as well. She’s an amazing woman who lives on a ranch in the middle of Oklahoma who loves to cook, take pictures, home school, and otherwise share her everyday life (which is rather funny most days). Christina and I had the great opportunity to attend a book-signing of Ree’s this past weekend at a local Barnes & Noble. Christina bought an extra copy of her newest book, got it signed and is now giving it away on her blog… go read up on how to enter.

And despair not! Because if you don’t win over at Christina’s, I’ve been told that Flat K is also planning a similar giveaway here later this week! So be sure to come back and visit us for that.

In closing, I leave you with some new cards I made, but hadn’t posted. I realize that they are straggling in at the end of winter, and most likely won’t get used until next year. However, winter did give us another show last night, and so, I thought these were fitting for today’s post.
