Can this Tuesday get any better

Afternoon ladies, I have had a wonderful day so far, really enjoyed watching craft day, I am using my fingers, far away from the phone, now as Prima Crafts is on.......as I said earlier on I have been a lucky girl again to be given 2 awards from my dearest friends Christine & Shirley, these ladies have been with me from the start of blogging and never fail to comment on my creations, which is really appreciated, from the very beginning I felt a great rapport with these awesome ladies, and I know many off you are already followers off their blogs, if you are reading this and are not, please pop over and see some off the wonderful cards they have made, truly inspiring. Thank you again for thinking off me for these awards.

This one is from Shirley and comes with a condition that you tell 5 secrets about yourself, now as Stef pointed out earlier on, if I tell you they won't be secrets anymore, LOL, so here goes:-










  1. I am a Craft Addict, honestly, yesterday I went down to my shed, to put an address in my book, and made a card.....I was supposed to be in town, buying my grandson's Birthday present.......
  2. I LOVE my Husband, so much it scares me.......I miss him when he is not here, how scary is that after 20plus years.
  3. My children are all grown up, and I am constantly, since Jenny was born 16 years ago, yearn for another, we have 6, more than enough in anyones book...
  4. I would love to foster children, preferably from disadvantaged backgrounds, when I worked at the local school, I worked with Disabled and Troubled teenagers and I would have taken them all home, if I had been allowed.
  5. I am a chocoholic.......have to have chocolate somewhere in the house, or shed.....even my kids know where I stash it, so I have to constantly look for better hidding places...as I think I have passed on my addiction to them.


Now some of these are my deepest secrets and wishes, I hope I have not disappointed you......

I would like to pass this award onto the following people, who have also become great friends of mine during the last 5 months or so, we are all so lucky to share this "Cyber World".

The Second award is from Christine and I would like to pass it onto the following people, who have also inspired me in my crafts, as you know I was a one-horse pony when I started here, and now I want to try everything......thanks for that girls..

congrats on all those wonderful, well-deserved awards. to foster (or even want to foster) challenged children takes a very strong person and i have great admiration for you. my very best friend teaches severely challenged children and it amazes me the strength she has. she had tons of strength for me when i needed her. maybe that's why we've been friends over 40 years.

and have an xtra piece of chocolate on me!

hugs,

OMY you crack me up! Kids are a pain and a blessing all at the same time and it really depends how much chocolate and crafty stash there is to make the pain more bearable!
