I won :O)

Thank you to everyone at Color My Heart for the lovely 'Color Dare - Diamond Award'.

I am the first ever winner of this award and I am thrilled - I earned it for my submission in the Ruby and Indian Corn Blue Dyadic Color Challenge you will see from last week.

And I have also been asked to be a guest designer - I am very excited - will let you know more details when this will happen - so Happy Sunday to you all - Love Sara x

What a lovely surprise to come home from work to :O)

Thank you so much to Tamytha ( you can find her cute blog here http://www.paperheartist.com) who awarded me the very cute Liebster Blog award. 


Liebster is German for "favorite" or "beloved".  So essentially it translates into "Favorite Blog".  The award is sent to blogs that have fewer than 200 followers.  It recognizes the "little blogs" out there and helps to draw more followers...something every blogger wants.


There is a caveat to this award - I have to pass it on to 5 blogs that I follow. 5???? Seriously??? I have so many blogs which I pop into see, where I 'oooohh and aaahhhh' over the artwork.  I do try to leave comments on the items I have looked as I know how much it means when someone takes the time and trouble to leave a comment or message - it is gratefully received believe me. 


So here are the blogs I follow and why:


http://paperpleatsandribbonroses.blogspot.com/   Connie's blog blows me away - her ribbon flowers and artwork are to die for. I wish I lived nearer to her so that I could stalk her. LOL :O) She at this point is probably very glad I don't !!!  Check out her gorgeous creations :O)


http://tuttonstreasures.blogspot.com/  Angela's blog is another site which I love to look through - such pretty artwork.


http://paigespaperparadise.blogspot.com/   Paige has a beautiful mini scrapbook - just perfect for little ones which is just one of the cute things she has made.


http://bowlofstamps.blogspot.com/     Kathleen's blog is lovely - again what fun artwork she has :O)


http://createwithbeckie.blogspot.com/   And last but certainly not least my friend Beckie's artwork is well worth a long look at. My fellow cruise earner is super artistic. :O)


SO hope you like the blogs I have mentioned.  I wish I hadn't had the restrictions of only 5 blogs which had under 200 followers.  Make sure you follow these ladies blogs and leave them comments - I know they will appreciate all you have to say :O)

Being able to do something I love and getting paid to do it - I love to work for CTMH that would be number 2. And number 3 - I have no idea - shall I say my shoes, or my cute MG Midget, for the store White House Black Market, Henri Bendel or Tiffanys - or perfume or Autumn mornings - I just don't know - maybe you can pick on of those for me LOL.
