Not another blog!

I have made yet another new blog. No eye rolling allowed LOL! The new one is to share and show off my ATC's and other attempts at creativity. If you would like to take a peep at what I have been doing you can click here.
Otherwise there is a link to my crafty blog in my side bar.
I would love you to comment and please feel free to leave constructive criticism. I am learning as I go and know there are many areas I can improve on. I don't consider myself a real artist but I do love using my imagination and creating with my hands.

A very special award....

This week I was absolutely blown away, excited and delighted to be given this award from Bron over at vintageandart . I had seen this award on other blogs but never dreamt my humble blog would ever be given such an award. Thank you Bron for such a lovely compliment. Apparently I now need to tell my readers ten things about myself and share ten of my favourite blogs with you. So here goes...

1. I have a faerie tattoo on my shoulder blade.
2. I have an irrational fear of standing underneath power lines.
3. I never finished High School.
4. I studied classical ballet until I was about 15 years old.
5. I am diabetic and struggling to adapt my lifestyle to suit.
6. I love chocolate!
7. I began studying to be a community welfare worker but stopped to care for my daughter full time when she became ill in her teens.
8. I would love to travel the world.
9. I love owls.
10. Procrastination is one of my biggest bad habits!

Choosing ten favourite blogs is really, really hard! I follow so many wonderful, creative and interesting blogs, many of them covering very different areas of interest. Here are ten wonderful blogs from my followed list in no particular order.

1.  My Friends Call Me Nelly
2. Hill & Vale
3. Tiili Peninsula
4. I forget to floss
5. thimbles and crumbles
6. My Owl Barn
7. The Pages of Avalon
8. Heaven is a bookstore
9. Bluebird Notes
10. She Dreams Big

Phew!! Please note I chose 10 of my favourites at random from my followed blogs. I know I have left some of my friends off this list :( but the rules only allowed for 10. If I am a follower of your blog it means I love what you write/share and post! I hope my readers may discover some new blogs to follow from my list. Thank you again to Bron for giving me this my very first blog award. Definately a 'sunshine' moment in my day!
