Blessed Week

I'm having such a blessed week! :) Yesterday, I received a cute RAK in the mail:

It is from Sandy from Scribbles by Sandy. :) She is such a sweetheart!  She said she saw the Hello Kitty stickers and had to get them for me. What a great happy mail day! Thank you so much, Sandy!  If you haven't heard of Sandy, she is an AWESOME artist and has her own line of digis.  Check her out! I used her work on THIS CARD here. 

Another cool thing was I won a Krafty Kreation award from The Krafty Girls! What an honor!  I won a shiny new badge for my side bar. :) I love those!  My STEAMPUNK CARD won that one. :)

I also have MORE news! :) But that's going to have to wait until later. :)

Thank you all my bloggy friends for supporting me every step of the way.  Love you all!

Blog Awards

New blog awards, woohoo!  I love getting these things and putting them on my sidebar because it reminds me of the great online friends that I've made by sharing the love of crafting with others.  :*)

I've got two of them this time:

Stinkin' Cute Blog Award from Diana at DL.Art.  Thank you, girlie!

Cricut-tastic Award from Maribel of i love scrapping and Amy of redheaded crafter.  Thank you, ladies!

These three ladies are super talented and uber sweet (not to mention pretty much awesome!).  Thank you again for the awards!

For the Cricut-tastic award I need to share 5 Cricut facts about myself and pass it on to 10 Cricut-tastic people.

1. I had my Cricut for a year until I used it!
2. I have 12 cartridges that I haven't touched yet except for redeeming rewards *shame*
3. I am super messy when it comes to crafting.  My Cricut is covered in Smooch Spritz. Oops.
4. My husband has been known to help me put together Cricut cuts if I have a lot of them to do.
5. I love giving Cricuts as gifts!  Gave one to my MIL for her birthday while on my trip!  She LOVED it!

Get Whale Soon and more blog awards!

One of my guy friends had eye surgery on Friday.  Poor thing couldn't even open his eyes so I helped him out.  He's a bit better today and can open one eye so I thought it would be a perfect time to send a card!  Tomorrow is also his birthday, so I'll post his birthday card tomorrow! :D

Just a simple card as boys don't really like frills.  The whale was cut out from the B is for Boy Cricut cartridge.  Paper is by K&Company and Stampin Up!

Going to enter this one in Creative Card Crew's ribbons and brads challenge (just in the nick of time!)

Also, Amber from My 3 E Scrapbooking awarded me with 3 more blog awards!  She is such a sweetheart.  Make sure you drop by her blog and show her some love!
