Liebster Award - Thank You Karon!!

Hello my dear sweet blogging friends -

At this moment I am sitting on my bed, Hercules is cuddled up next to me, there is a cool breeze blowing through my window and the house is silent. It feels amazing.  So much has been going on and I have some wonderful news I just have to share.



Wow, amazed, excited, happy, stunned, delighted and overjoyed are only a few of the words which describe how honored I am to be have been awarded the Liebster Award by Karon Hughes.  


Karon - I am overflowing with so many feelings with your kindness and thoughtfulness in giving me this award.  Thank you, thank you and thank you!!

I have always loved to create and write and with technology the way it is now I am able to meet so many amazing women from all over the world that I probably never would have crossed paths with otherwise.  There is so much creativity and talent and amazing women with tender hearts in cyber-world and I am so blessed you have chosen to be a part of my blog family.  I treasure your visits to my blog, your comments of encouragement and support.  I absolutely love going to all your blogs where I find so much inspiration and off the charts talent.  I am in AWE of all of you!!

Thanks Karon - I am truly honored.

Now this is the challenging part - how do I choose just five?  

Well ladies I am currently working on my final five and will post the names later this evening.  I wish I could give the award to all of you and thanks so much for sharing in my joy and excitement.  Have a great weekend!!!

Hugs and smiles

Laine

This has been a challenging but also exciting process - it was so incredibly hard to choose just 5 of you.  With all the said - here are my five choices:


Kim at Tillys Crafts has an amazing blog. I find her work inspiring, her coloring is wonderful and love her motto - "So many crafts, so little time" and of course Tilly her four legged friend is a cutie.  

Alison at Words and Pictures has a wonderful blog - I admire her style, creativity and inspires me to step further out of my comfort zone.

 Michaela at Michaela's Blog - her coloring is amazing, love her attention to detail and her style.

 Elaine at Ellapu Blog - love her mix of styles and her coloring is wonderful.

 Eileen at Love in Envelope Blog - has shown me the beauty and talent of paper quilling.  Her amazing creations have inspired me to jump in and learn this technique.

 Ladies - you are all so amazing, talented and creative.  Thank you all for your inspiration and wonderful blogs.  Congratulations to all of you.

 I hope everyone will check out their blogs and take a look for yourselves.  It was a really touch choice.  

 Many hugs and smiles

 Laine

    Laine, I'm so touched and honoured by your gift of this award... Having just read the sticky post at the top of the page, it's very clear what an extraordinarily strong and warm-hearted person you are - so that the positivity pouring towards you from Karon in your receipt of the award and then onwards to all of us you have selected to receive it is doubly special. Thank you for your generous words, your support, and the award... and congratulations on the award yourself!

Blessings and Thankfulness

Hello dear sweet friends - As some of you already know I had a different post here earlier today.  I have moved that post to my Life Lessons from Hercules Blog which I have been wanting to start for quite some time now.  And so, if you feel so inclined - you can check out my new blog and let me know what you think. (For this card I wanted to use my scraps of paper and other embellishments that are over six months old.  And I achieved that by using the brown lace and butterflies.  In fact, they are almost a year old and I have just been saving them for something special.   With hugs and smiles Laine I am also submitting this card to the following challenges: Twist of Faith Challenge #10 - A Sketch Challenge Craft Door Magazine - Challenge #43 Anything Goes Paper Take Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes Lady Anne's Challenges - Anything Goes Stampin Sisters in Christ - Challenge 164 Challenges for Everybody - #6 Stampin for the Weekend
