Today...

...I would like to (finally) acknowledge the awards so kindly passed on to me these last couple of weeks (maybe even months?). I admit...I was hording them. Be warned, this is a long post! First off, Kat from Candles, Crafts and Whatnot has been totally spoiling me! I received the Triple Award and Kreativ Award from her. That's like getting 4 awards. Wow. Thank you Kat! Kat is a big Twilight fan, as I'm sure many of us are, and she does some amazingly cool Twilight jewelry- hop on over to her blog to check it out! Next, Candice from Artsy Tartsy Jewels and Crystal from Pampered Papier gave me the yummy Lemonade Award for blogs which show gratitude and attitude! Thank you ladies! Candice has a fun blog showcasing her whimsical jewelry creations which she sells on Etsy, and Crystal does amazing things with paper: cards, the cutest gift tags ever, notebooks and so much more. Please do stop by these blogs and check them out! I've also received the wonderful Grand Award for the second time. Roz over at Life in Australia passed this on to me. Roz is British but now lives down under and she has just started a new blog on, well, life in Australia, of course! Welcome to the blogging community, Roz!

And last, but not least, my good friend Sudha over at Sudhersana gave me the Passionate Blogger Award. Sudha lives in southern India, and her blog highlights all the latest trends, fashions and life style from her country. She is also an amazing vegetarian cook! You must check out her fantastic meatless meals! I'd like to pass on this 'Passionate Blogger Award' to the following blogs, as I feel the owners of these blogs are all passionate about blogging! Ambrosia @ Brosia's Blog Cindy @ The Grass can be Greener Deanna @ Timeless Things Karen @ A Scrapbook of Inspiration Abby @ The FatKat Kronicles Athena @ Miss Millificent's World Shawie @ A Grateful Heart Roz @ Life in Australia Erika @ NICO Designs Theresa @ TilT Creations Lynne @ The Sewing Mom Jodi @ Live Laugh Frogs Kat @ Candles, Crafts and Whatnot Kristin @ My Art and the Mom in Me Michelle @ Memories of You The Stitch Witch There you go! I told you it was a long post. With all this linking madness I hope I haven't forgotten anybody. Just in case I did I'll include you next time around! Now, as we all know, there's usually a list of rules attached to awards, which I'll dispense with, because basically it's all about promoting friendship among the blogging community. Feel free to post this award on your blog and link to me, and nominate any other blogs you wish. Have fun!
