Sorry it has taken so long to get these awards on my blog, they are so appreciated you would not believe but with one thing and another…… well lets just say my memory is not what it should be lately :)

The first is from Natalie thank you xxxfrom Natalie

The conditions of the award are:-

  • List their blog and link to it.
  • I must list 10 honest things about myself.
  • I must put a copy of The Honest Scrap Logo on my blog.
  • I must select at least seven other worthy bloggers & list their links.
  • I must notify the bloggers of the award.

  3. I am stupid (refer to 2)

from caryn

And my final award is from Ida, who is so sweet and said some really nice things about me and Denise being her boss at PFP :)

PIF from Ida

about PIF:
The whole thing started with the movie "Pay it forward". The role model of Haley Joel Osment, gives a great deed to another person. The only attach to the one who receives it, is that he/her has to promise to give something that matters to others. A simple demand, that may not be as simple that it sounds? Someone has now taken this principle further, and made it into a gift. The rules are simple - everyone can join, and only 3 rules have to be fulfilled:
1. You must have your own blog, so that you can spread the message.
2. You must like to make others happy.
3. You must ship your 3 gifts within the next 365 days.

Ok this award is going to

  • Michelle - who’s birthday I missed (slapped hand)
  • Linda - who’s birthday I missed (slapped hand again)
  • Natalie – who always gives me gorgeous awards :)

So you girls should be getting a little something in the post, I don’t know when but I have got 365 days :)

DT card Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge

This weeks challenge at SCSC is "In the Jungle" and was set by the lovely Wendy (Secret crafter Boss) I had slight trouble with this one, as I couldn't work out what animals I had in stamps which lived in the jungle, I did want to do a hippo but Dave told me they lived in water, so I decided on an elephant, Tarzan rode an elephant in the jungle didn't he :)
The elephant is papermania and is coloured with ProMarkers which I should mention and never have (DOH!!) that they were bought from Wendy at Secret crafter, Dave went to Wendys house and bought the whole set for me last year :) which I thought was extremely nice of her been as he was a total stranger and a bit scary looking (only joking). Anyway the papers are DCWV and the doodling was done my yours truly :)
Please go and take a look at the rest of the DT work, they have made some gorgeous cards as usual :)

Thank you for looking, hope you all have a nice weekend
