Stylish blogger ....

... yesterday, while I was looking at the lovely red and green Christmas cards for OLW41 over at Simplicity, I came across this wonderful snowflake card by Kim.  Now, as far as I'm concerned, snowflakes are just some of the most beautiful creations - so I left Kim a message.  And strange as it may seem - she was checking out my card at about the same time - this is what Kim said "Then I just put up a post including my card for the OLW challenge. As I was linking my card to Susan's blog, your card popped up at exactly the same time."  And Kim has given me the "Stylish Blogger" award - which I am honoured and delighted to accept!!  Kim - thank you so much!!

Now part of accepting the award is to pass it along and follow a few simple procedures:

1. Thank and link back to the person giving the award - Done
2. Share 8 things about myself!
3. Forward the award to 8 crafters recently discovered.
4. Contact the 8 people involved and tell them about the award.

Now I have to tell you eight things about myself - this is fun!!

1. I love to watch ice-skating - used to love watching Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean.
2. I can't stand up on the ice!!
3. I love new technology.
4. But I still don't text!!
5. I'm officially fed up with Winter - it's been a long, hard one this year.
6. I love half-term holidays - great time to be with the children.
7. I'm missing Jonathan- he's in India on business. 
8. And we get super-fast Internet today - I may have mentioned that before !! :)

Now I have to award this to eight bloggers that I've recently discovered.  This is the truly hard bit - but it does give me the chance to award some of my favourite blogs - old and new!!

1. Craft Obsession - Pauline - another fan of the rodent!!  Check it out - you'll work it out :)
2. Sharing the Passion - Ali.
3. Cards n Greetings - Sharon.
4. Buffy's Place - Buffy.
5. Wiggy's World - Donelda.
6. Starcyl's Daily Doings - Starcyl.
7. Just for Fun - Ann.
8. Kiss - Keep It Simple & Sweet - Caroline.

If you've not seen these blogs - I do recommend a visit.  Now I'm off to leave a little surprise on each blog :)

I'll be back later today with some new cards to share - and hopefully it'll be so much quicker at my end :)
