Random thoughts, my craft corner, and award!

We bought two new suitcases, because our very large and very old one has wonky wheels and a broken lock. I don't think it would have survived another trip. Sammy (our cat) has been eyeing the matching suitcases with suspicion all day :) So, while I'm contemplating what to take on the trip*, I'd like to acknowledge this 'I love your blog' award I received a while ago from two very talented and crafty bloggers: Vickie over at DigiVickie and Nancy of Nfall2rt. I feel so honoured...thank you very much, ladies! Since I have passed on this award only recently, this time around I'd like to share it with all the kind commenters on my Dawanda/Etsy post - you guys are so helpful!!! Vickie creates beautiful layouts and word art. I particularly love 'Luvin Autumn'. Do check it out here and say hello while you're there! Nancy is an art teacher with multiple talents! Please visit her Etsy shop here where you will find beautiful knitted bags, scarves, jewelry and art work! I really love this green knitted clutch! And speaking of crafts, I recently joined My Craft Corner, a social network for all types of crafters. I have already met some interesting crafters on there. There's a featured crafter of the week on the main page (which could be you at any time), as well as contests with great prizes to be won! I'm glad I joined! * in case anyone is wondering where we are off to - well, let's just say it's an island, it's hot, good food, good shops!
