The Liebster Award

WOW... I am so honored!  I have been doing this blog since April 2008.  Over all these years, I've had spurts of time to create and share and other times where it just was not possible.  But everyone has been so kind and supportive no matter what was going on.  I want to THANK all my followers as well as visitors for that support...  I've received tons of private notes, prayers, encouragement, and lots of comments left on the blog.  THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to VICKY from CRAFTING VICKY for gifting me with this award!  I'm honored and so blessed to be part of a fantastic "family" with all the friends of CREATE WITH TLC. 

ABOUT THE AWARD

Liebster is a German word meaning "Beloved," "Favorite," or "Dearest." This award is a peer to peer award in which fellow bloggers present the award to their favorite bloggers with less than 200 followers. The origins of this award is unclear, but is believed to have originated by a German blogger. This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion to share your dearest and most beloved blogs that have less than 200 followers.

RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE

Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have less than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award!

PAY IT FORWARD
Now comes the hard part… choosing another 5!  Wow not an easy task.  What helped is that many of the blogs that I like have received it already so I’m passing on to some that haven’t  yet received the award and that have less than 200 followers.  And of course all those blogs are some that I really love, follow and that give me inspiration!

Here's my list of people that I'm passing this on:

 

Gilly's Place at  http://gilly-gillysplace.blogspot.com/

 

Fran at  http://scallopsandswirls.blogspot.com/ 

 

Lori at  http://www.happybirdscraftinghaven.com/  

Jennifer at http://sugarbuttdesigns.com/  

 

 Bri at http://www.beautybloggerbri.blogspot.com/

Please take some time to give some support to these FABULOUS BLOGGERS and ONLINE FRIENDS ...  They are all different themes and many reasons why I enjoy each one.  So go see for yourself why they are so good!  They are trusted sites and all family oriented!

Thank you, again VICKY...

Have a great week everyone!

NEW AWARDS...

I am so honored this morning!

I am tickled pink in fact!  And humbled besides!

I opened my email to find that I was given not one,

not two, not three, BUT FOUR NEW AWARDS

for my blog and creativity and sharing ...

WOW!  Thank you so much to

Polly at ANGELS IN MY GARDEN for all of them!!!! 

You are a wonderful lady and I've so enjoyed reading

your blog!  Thank you for sharing these awards with me!

You have renewed my spirit of creating and giving/sharing!

The first means just what it says,

"you're going places, baby."

Recipients of this award have to

tell where you see yourself in 10 years.

I honestly have not thought that far ahead...

I see myself skinnier and able to walk better

after I have my surgeries.  I see great family

times together and enjoying more sunsets.

 

Second award I am supposed to tell you

7 things about myself so: 

1.  I love to share

2.  I love to create in PSP7

3.  I would love to get the photoshop program

4.  I love reading, cooking, baking, blogging,

counted cross stitch, and trying to scrapbook

5. I love the Mid-West and would move back

in a heartbeat!

6.  I can't t wait to take a family vacation

again, even though it seems as if it might not

happen for many years

7.  I love taking road trips!  Stop where you want

and when you want, enjoy the scenery, see

all kinds of new people and new experiences!

  

Polly said:

I love your blog!!  I read yours a lot and really think

you are so creative.  I would give anything if I could

design ... just can't get the hang of it.  The programs

are like Greek to me.  Take care and have a great day!!

Last is the Sunshine Award, which must be passed on to 12 bloggers, 

so I am doing what Polly did and passing on all four of these awards

on to the following 12 bloggers.  These are fantastic, creative,

shairng, giving and loving people/blogs and they are all a must-see!

1 -- Paulette at Create with TLC 

2 -- Sandy at Taylor Made by Sandy

3-- Bethany at Elegant Word Art

4 -- Marcia at Grammas Cookbook

3. Nominate 10 other blogs for this award
4. Add links to those blogs
5. Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs
6. Give a reason why you consider their blogs cool


I am going to have to procrastinate a bit on awarding this to 10 other blogs for a few weeks. I apologize for that, however, I don't have a choice... I am on my way out of town in a few hours and won't be home for several weeks. My FIL is currently in the hospital and will be released to go home IF and WHEN someone is there to take care of him 24/7. So, I am going to help my SIL get set up and comfortable with the job. I was a CNA for a while in Wisconsin so I do have some experience with this sort of thing. Plus he is my FIL and I'd do anything to help out. SO I am on my there. As soon as I get home again, I will share the love forward! If there is ever a chance while I'm on this trip to relax to do it, I will, however, I'm not counting on that as my FIL's home doesn't have an internet connection of any kind! OH MAN...withdrawals are starting already! LOL! I'll see you all when I get home! In the mean time, please to see Craftymugs site and enjoy all of her wonderful ideas, shares and creations!
