Here are a couple of quotations I found that are related to receiving and giving...

Be thankful for the least gift, so shalt thou be meant to receive greater.

MORE AWARDS!

MANY THANKS to my dear sister Sue of http://craftysusie.blogspot.com/ for these lovely awards. I apologise for not posting them before but as you know I was without my own PC and therefore quite limited as to having my own files, timing, etc. Anyway here I am so thanks from the bottom of my heart dear sis. . .I AM TRULY HONOURED!

I think at this point in time I had better pass these on by offering them to all those who visit my blog so please feel free to post them on your blog and pass them on to others.

In order to make things easier on myself and others who will accept the awards, I will not list any conditions to follow except that they do their best to forward them to as many as they see fit in true friendship...as I hope I am doing here and to post the relative links of those offering the Awards. I too kindly ask that you post a link to my blog, thanks!

The Most Favourite Award says...

“These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.”

The Honest Scrap Award says I must list ten honest things about myself so hmm, let me see, I hope I can find ten...so here goes...

1. First and foremost I believe in Jesus and I love God, my family and friends.

2. My favourite colour is blue (all shades of blue).

3. I collect thimbles and teapots and angels.

4. I love writing poetry and doing all sorts of crafts.

5. Nature and music inspire me.

6. I hate back-biting and gossip.

7. I love looking at clouds and the sea.

8. I enjoy working as a volunteer mostly within my parish community.

9. My new hobbies are blogging, photography and gardening (hmm, that's not bad for this year!)

10. I hope to learn parchment later this year and would also love to learn One-Stroke-Painting.

Hmm, that wasn't so bad, I think I'll go back over that and see a little bit about ME!

Both of the above awards as well as The Lemonade Award require that they are passed on to 8, 7 and 10 blogs respectively. However, seeing as these are being passed on as best as I can and in good faith, I am hoping that they will be shared likewise with many who deserve them.

~ Thanks for visiting and I hope to see these awards on your blogs too ~

WOW ~ My First Award!

The Karma Award

I received this award from my dear sister Sue (aka Crafty Sue) of http://craftysusie.blogspot.com/

From a very young age Sue has always been very talented, always coming up with fresh ideas and trying her hand at new things, her creations are awesome... please visit her blog it is definitely worth visiting. Thank you Sue for choosing my blog among the eight blogs of your choice. I am very honoured to receive this award especially that it is my first and that it is coming from you. Thanks sweetheart!

I think the Karma award is special because it awards those who truly cherish friendships made throughout the world even though we have not, and may never, actually meet. Most of us have only 'met' through our love of sharing our talents, ideas, crafts, life experiences and beliefs. It is in caring and sharing that we all meet here on our cyberspace world. The generosity and friendship of these amazing people certainly merits a special award.

Since I am quite new to blogging, my list is at the moment limited but ever growing...I am chosing to award this to the following six for the moment.

If anyone is passing through and think you'd like to feature this award on your blog, please feel free to collect this award and leave a comment so that I can add your name to my list.

Karma Award

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

The blog owners that receive this award will have to post the logo on their blog , with the green text above , mentioning the person that has awarded them and her blog and then pass it on to other eight blogs of their choice, finally they will have to contact the blog owners to let them know they have been awarded.

To those who have been awarded and, for some reason or other, cannot forward this right away, or who would rather not post it on their blog, I just want to say I appreciate your friendship and talent and hope that maybe some day you will find the time and reason to award this to others.

Congratulations and Blessings to all!

Thanks also goes to Amber of RedMommyCrafts

for awarding me the KARMA award once more.
