Well...dingety dang...Imagine That....

I read Aleida's blog. I read Liz's blog. I read the post that held this prize on both blogs. I completely missed my name. Both times. How in the world I did that I will never know. I mean I am so into myself my name normally just pops out at me. Kidding about that. Seriously, thank you Aleida and Liz. You both continually make me smile.

The rules for the award are - (1) The winner can put the logo on their blog. (2) Link the person you received your award from. (3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs. (4) Put links of those on yours. (5) Leave a message on the blogs of the girls or boys you’ve nominated. So here goes:

You must all check out their websites.

Aleida's Blog: The Scrapping Rican. She is witty, "naughty" at times, immensely creative, has the cutest family, etc. You will love her blog. She also is involved with Scrapping the Music and It Takes All Kinds. Check ALL of her out. OK, Aleida...I know where you are going with that last line. :o)

Liz's Blog: Life at the Polka Dot House. Liz is hilarious, she says it like it is and is another immensely creative person. She has a regular feature on her blog called Ew to New, which proves that creative part I just mentioned. She is a crazy crap scrapper. Not my words...that is what the challenge site - Scrap Your Crap - lists her as. I like the title myself. Why does everything always have to sound pretty in the scrap world? Blah.

I am going to elect the following as they continually make me smile and inspire me:

Barb - Bab's Babble - Barb is hilarious and extremely creative. She is always up to some kind of fun. Go through her blog and find the posting and photo of her and her husband in the mouth of a big fish. You definitely have to see that.

Waleska - Talking to Myself - like heck she is talking to herself. I'm listening and have been for awhile. How could you not when you get blog entries loaded with eye candy. W is multi-talented. She is a scrapper that you want to emulate and on top of that she takes stunning photos.

Judi - I Have No Blog - It's the truth. She doesn't have a blog, but her emails and postings on Studio Calico are filled with fun, laughs and creativity. So I am making an executive decision and awarding her this prize pre-blog...because although she is dragging her feet quite deeply in getting one, Liz will talk her into one soon enough and it will be brilliant. She can then place this on entry one.

Anilu - {No Shrinking Violet} - Anilu is one of the nicest people you will ever meet in your lifetime. I love reading her blog to see her scrap layouts and buys, but mostly I love hearing about her devotion to her beautiful daughter. Anilu is the mother you always wanted packed with creativity.

Greta - I'm Unique Just Like Everyone Else - I don't care if Aleida also chose her. She's my friend, too, and I like her blog. Greta comes off as shy and innocent, like me. Like heck. Her blog title claims she is like everyone else. That's hockey hooey. She is as unique as it comes. First off, she plays hockey with professionals. Well, she did one time and knocked him on his butt. Go read about it on her blog and as you do that check out her recently posted mini-album. Try not to drool.

Jacquie - The Big Reveal - Jacquie is a Minnesota defector, but I still like her. Probably because she is awesome - as a person and as an artist. Her blog is loaded with bling. That word doesn't do her justice. Her layouts are exquisite. Loaded with layers of goodness. When my creativity grows up it wants to be just like her creativity.

Oh and I know they both awarded me, but I am giving them a little more. So my number 7 goes to both Liz - Polka Dot House AND Aleida - The Scrapping Rican.

Well, folks that about does it. Enjoy.
