awards

I’m feeling a bit guilty here because recently my blog has been given a shed load of lovely awards and it’s taken me ages to post about them. So without further ado I’d like to thank Caroline, Francesca , cmeknit, crafting jen, Rae Knits, La Quinta, Sew Christine and Maureen for the ‘you make my day’ award.

Thanks so much ladies – I really appreciate being nominated and I’d like to bounce back a ‘spread the love’ award to you all (apart from Jane who I nominate for a ‘you make my day’)

I find it really hard to pass these on because there are so many blogs that make me happy in all kinds of different ways (see for yourself my list of favourites to the right). There are however 3 further people who spring to mind for the ‘spread the love award’. Katie – What Katie Did, Tracy – Cupcakes at home, Kat – Secrets of a Butterfly. Three special people who always have kind words and generous hearts.

Finally, today is the last day for pre-orders on the new set of little
cotton rabbit stamps. Amy and I got our preview set yesterday and are
looking forward to having a lot of fun with them over the weekend. I’m
so thrilled with how they’ve turned out – Linda has really captured the
character of each one (experienced stampers please forgive my heavy-handed stamping – I’ve yet to refine my technique!)

If you’d like a set you can pre-order here at Funky Kits. There will be more coming into general stock soon – if you have any queries about these please contact Sugar Nellie.

  1. Congratulations on your awards – so much deserved.
    I’ve never done rubber stamping before, but those stamps are very very tempting.
    I’m off to check out the blogs you awarded now – it’s always nice to find new places.

  3. I can’t wait for my set to arrive.
    I’ve already mentally planned about a hundred things to do with them!
    What a great idea, I hope to see more LCR stamps in the future…like the piggy and elephant?

  5. here I am in an internet cafe in Ljubljana, Slovenia and this is the first day of rain we have had. Chance to check up on blogs! Hello Julie!! THANKYOU for the award! I am thrilled. I will spread some of that love all around Europe! Tomorrow we are off to Croatia! Travelling with my 20 year old son, Baron John, is such a lot of fun. Take care and spread those stamps around too!
