Yippee's and Yay's!!!!!

I've won the "Brilliant Blog" award again. THANK YOUUUU Leaonna!!!! This go round, I've decided to share it with a few fellow newbies like myself. They are doing a GREAT job and most definately deserve a little pat on the back :-)


1 goes to Snowtig Scraps and Photoz. As she's learning, she shares her results with us as a freebie. When ever she uses a tutorial, she posts a link so that we can go play as well. Lovely blog Snowtig!! Keep up the good work.

2 goes to Chrmd at Chrmd Scraps. We met in our Yahoo Group and I remember when she first started. As she's been learning she's shared some wonderful freebies with us and has really come a long way fast. Great work Chrmd!!!

For 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 I've chosen a few ladies I met from the "Backyard Playground Collab", who btw, has a new Collab for us "Zoo Spirit" which looks just as FUN as Backyard Playground" was. Wonderfully fun kits for mom's to play with their kiddo's pictures and freebies no less!! Too cool ya'll and thanks so very much for sharing them with us!!! Many of these ladies were beginners and Backyard Playground was their first time out making scrap kits. Ya'll did an AWESOME job ladies!!!!

Lucky Charms

Well ya'll, let me tell you, with tropical storm "Dolly" brewing out my back door and these long hot sticky days getting ready for her, I was REALLY feelin like my crystals had lost their charms rather quickly ROTF!!! But they hadn't. Lookee here ya'll!!!! I recieved an award!!! How cool is that. And it even has a crystal prysm on it. Now that's just too awesome!!

Andrea at The Dickensons really enjoyed our layouts and gave us the award. Thanks soooo very much for the smiles you brought this tired hot little family Andrea. The kids were really excited!! It's their award as well you know. They are always tugging at my skirt as I'm making the layouts, so they have A LOT of input as to what goes into them LOL.

Sooooo...now I would like to AWARD a few blogs that I really really enjoy visiting!

First HAS TO go to Tragedy Scrapin Anne. I can't get an award without thanking and sharing it with her. She's an awesome kid, working her way through college, studying to be a vet. As busy as she is, she's always willing to lend a hand or answer a silly question. I love her sense of humor and brutal honesty. Sadly, she's not here to recieve it right now. She's in the hospital, one sick kiddo, so please be sure to stop by and leave her a little love and a few healing thoughts and prayers.

Two, three, and four goes to Kim B at Kim B Designs, Beth at Designs by Beth, and Jen at Chaos Lounge just for being the great ladies and awesome creators that they are. They are the kind of creators that will take the time out of their busy days to stop by a newbies blog and leave a little love. That is a very very nice thing and deeply appreciated!!! And from reading their blogs today, they are also the kind of ladies that step up to the plate when a friend is down. That is really to be admired.

Fith, sixth, and seventh go to Irene's Scrapbooking Designs, Dnadryad Digiscrap and Freebies, and Scrapping till the cows come home. I love their blogs. These blogs are fun to visit, well designed, and I love love love to look at the layouts they post. AND, they have the most AWESOME freebies which this sometimes really broke mom ALWAYS appreciates!!!!!!

Also, I wanted to share another peice of good news. I got asked to be on a Creative Team over at KJoi Studio's so I am now a "Studio Diva"!!! YEAH!!! I get to play with really really cool kits from some AWESOME designers. Cool huh!!! I should of hung those durned crystals back in my windows long time ago LOL!!! I am going to have to figure out a way to share that magic with ya'll, maybe a blog game where you can win one of your own. That would be fun if I can figure out how to do it. Be sure to check back later, I'm sure I can come up with something :-)
