A Surprise--- A Thing of Beauty Award

Thanks to my blogging friend Glenda at MagPie's Corner for sending me this award. Glenda is a stop I make each day, especially on Wednesday to see her WOYWW..she is so neat and tidy and I just want to see a mess like mine once in a while, but it's never there.  We have been blogging about the same amount of time, and no doubt the same "Retirement Age" and her work is a class act in itself.
So "THANKS GLENDA"  I feel honored to receive it. 

This was originated by Gracenotes for Today so stop by and see more information.

Here are the Rules of Award Acceptance:

Right-click on the award and save it to your desktop for use when you add it to your blog.
Choose FIVE (5) worthy recipients and list them. Next to their blog name, give ONE reason why you think their blog is special. What catches your eye about them? What do you love?

On your blog page, list 5 things about yourself. Include at least one thing you enjoy about your craft.

I have many blogsposts I truly enjoy becasue of the inspiration, humor or the good feelings I get while visiting.  But these 5 came to mind as I usually visit each morning to get my MOJO running and SPIRITS up.  I've never met any of them in person, just loved their blogs since I started card making. 

Becca at Amazing Paper Grace  A natural given talent for spreading her wings and sharing her beautiful creativity.

Melis at LilyBean's Paperie  She has a glitter and sparkle that radiates her special talent. She makes you feel like you are on a magical trip with color and design.

Sherry at Walkin on the Bad Side Here there is humor and enjoyment of life. Her creations and designs are beyond cards.

Geri at Paper Wishes A bit of adventure and clever little posts. She has variety with her fabric and paper designs and some beautiful flower creativity.

Linda at The Funkie Junkie She has a Vintage-Shabby Chic style I love. Always something new and adorable and keeps extra busy posting Challenge updates.

All of these gals keep life interesting, love their families, and have a heart that feels good and they don't mind sharing it with us.

Now some things about me.

1. My adorable husband and I live in the Peace and Quiet of Rural Iowa.
2. I have 2 wonderful sons, and 4 adorable grandchildren.
3. Recently Retired and no desire to re-enter the working world.
4. I am active in our church, community and enjoy volunteering. Love garage sales, auctions and junk shops. It's the Thrill of the Find.
5. I have always loved crafting and the card making has given me so much enjoyment and peace of mind, wish I would have started it sooner. Meeting new people and new techniques has been most fun. All this because I purchased a card on Ebay.

Thanks for stopping by and may your days be filled with fun and adventure and a lot of Sunshine.
