A Little Housekeeping

I told a friend of mine this morning that I am a little behind on doing some much needed blog posts. So since I am a little bit ahead/caught up on some other things, I thought I would go ahead and share some of these things that I never seem to be able to blog about due to other obligations, kwim? I've gotten a few RAK's and Awards that I am so lucky to have gotten and feel so special to have received them. These cards are the ones that some of my friends made for me when I was the Featured Stamper on SCS. The first two are from Laura (Scrapnextras) and Michelle (SF9erfan)
and the second two are from Cindy (Mothermark) and Jessie (knightrone). I love each and every one of them and am so honored that these great ladies would care to take a look at my work, CASE me, and to top it all off, take the time to SEND these to me!! What sweet friends. I am very thankful to call all of them my personal friends.

Now onto the awards (you like, me! you REALLY like me!!) The first one is from Jackie Pedro (strappystamper). She gave this one to me back in mid-July and I have been meaning to post it ever since! Jackie and I met on Splitcoast as well, and is an awesome stamper. Don't know where she got the name "strappystamper", but maybe she wears strappy stilettos while stamping!? 'Lucy, you have some 'splainin' to do!!' Thanks, Jackie--you rock, and I don't care what shoes you've got on!

This next one is from my longtime friend, who gave me the little push to get this here blog started, Kristine Breach (kristineb). She had a few sweet thing to say about me on her blogpost where I was nominated. (and I didn't pay her to say them, btw!) She's got some mad coloring skillz, too, and her girls are quite crafty as well. Someday, when I'm ever back up in Oregon, I plan on seeing her. I feel like we've known each other forever and we've never even met in person! Mwah, Kristine!!

Lastly, I was featured on Inspirational on THIS POST over there! It's a worldwide blog where several authors of it basically "scout out" crafty bloggers and feature them on their blog! It was so exciting to see the email from Martine, asking me if I would mind if they featured me! Would I mind? Of course not! I've see the little badge on several blogs and have always wondered where it came from. Head on over there for a great daily dose of some wonderful works by different bloggers. Some you've heard of, and some newly discovered ones as well.

I would like to say that I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends as you guys and also to all of you who read my blog faithfully everyday. Just knowing you are out there cheering me on (either by leaving comments or silently) really keeps me going! I love sharing my projects, cards and ideas with you. As long as you want to keep coming back, I will keep on sharing. Sound like a deal? Hugs to all.....
