Blogger Award

I received my second blogger award almost a month ago (I am still catching up since Thanksgiving when my parents were in town. You really miss a lot in blogworld in just a weeks time!)

Thank you so much to Madison from funkycards for awarding me with this awesome award! I've been following her for awhile now and she always has such great work.

BTW, does anyone know how to get emailed about when people comment on a post? That's my problem, I never know till after the fact and that's why it took me nearly a month to figure out I had an award waiting for me :/

So here are the requirements:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this
2. Share 8 things about yourself
3. Pay it forward to 8 bloggers that you have recently discovered
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their awards

8 things about me:

1. I was born and raised in Hawaii.
2. I have 4 dogs, yes 4.
3. I teach 2 year olds (most challenging job ever)
4. I miss dancing hula.
5. My replacement cricut is defected. PC is on the naughty list for sure.
6. This is my second Christmas away from home. At least I have my sister with me.
7. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 7.5 years.
8. All I want for Christmas is Lasik eye surgery.

Now to pay it forward, here are some awesome blogs to check out:

Ayana from Ayana's Creations
Margie from Bella Bug Creations
Carol from Carol's Sweet Creations!
Tara from Each Moment, Only Once
Michelle from Holy Cricut!
Josy from Josy's Craft Corner
Kristin from Lilsweetpea's Place
Gale from The Happy Stamper :)

ninety: bananas

This card took me a long time. Sometimes sketches just aren't made for cards :) I finally get to enter in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge and I really enjoyed doing this sketch. This is also for Cooking with Cricut since it's Fall colors and it goes great with the stitching challenge at Delightful Sketches. And of course there just happen to be bananas for the the Food challenge with My Creative Time.

eighty nine: lazy sunday

I forgot how tiring working full time can be! I've been exhausted these past 2 weeks. Hopefully this week I will officially be teaching at this school!

I started this card of with Paper Cutz's "Get Well Card" challenge. They required it to be a get well card, duh, with something flying. This led to joining in with Alphabet Challenge's "B is for Bird" and
Fantabulous Cricut's "Bird Bonanza" challenges. To tie it all together it needed some embossing. That's where Made by Momo's "Embossing" and One Stop Craft Challenge's "Embossing" came into play. In the end, it all worked out great. This will be so sweet for someone who needs a little cheering up :)

Tried doing a collage type of thing. It was quite tricky. Still on the fence if I like it or not. I'll attempt the same technique again one of these days. I'll enter it into One Stop Craft's "Anything Goes" challenge. I found this challenge blog hopping around :)

Anything goes for Wee Memories challenge.
