Award time!!!!

I was nominated for  this cool blog award by three people!!

Leslie at Pandascrapper

Paula at Scrap Addicts Attic

Jamie at A Happy Scrappy place

Wow I am feeling popular! Hee hee. Thanks guys. I will give it right back to you and everyone else who takes the time to leave a comment.

I think the single most important thing to increase followers and comments on your blog is to go out there and ALWAYS leave a comment on the art you see. If you take the time to look and comment people will take the time to look and comment on your blog.

I will be back with more art here soon.

Thanks !!!!

I received this from 2 fabulous bloggers Beth and Robin!!!! What an honor. You are both MEGA talented.

The friend award comes with the following description to be added and passed along.

“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.” It also says : “Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.” I nominated these fellow creators due to the wealth of enthusiasm and encouragement they leave in comments to so many out there, myself included!
