Blog fun, Paperific, and a present for my nephews!

I have had a lovely blog award bestowed on me by my mate Sandie Downey. I am looking forward to meeting Sandie for the first time "in real life" on Friday at Paperific. So looking forward to giving her a "real" hug....she has become a very special cyber friend. Can't wait Sandie!

Here's the blog award Sandie gave me:

                                 

Thanks so much Sandie. You've made my day today :)

Here are the rules-1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.

 

2) Pass the award to 6 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award. If you can't pass it on to 6 just pass it on to as many or as few as you like!

 

So I'm passing this award onto the following people

 

Erica (who has just come back to blog-land...make her feel welcome!)

Christine

Fiona

Jo

Shannon

Lucy

Sandie has also tagged me this week. It's the "8 things game". I've seen this on a few blogs lately and I always love to have a quick snapshot into fellow bloggers lives.

I have to answer these questions and then tag 8 other bloggers, so here goes.....

8 Things I Look Forward To:

Fun with friends at Paperific on Friday.

Warmer weather!

Seeing my sister and mum in the school holidays.

"Uni girls nite" once a month.

8 Things I wish I could Do:

Pop over to my sister's or my Mum's for coffee at any time (they live 3+ hours away)

Have no financial worries (I wish!)

Be well (I'm working on it!)

Have a job that was a joy to go to every day, and never felt like work

Eat all the yummy things I love and not have to worry about the consequences :)

As for tagging some other bloggers, the six ladies I've given the award to above can consider themselves tagged. Anyone else who would like to play along is most welcome (send me a link if you do).

If anyone is heading out to Paperific this Friday and would like to catch up for coffee, shoot me out an email and we'll arrange to meet up. Should be lots of fun - plenty of papercrafting goodness for all!

Finally today, I wanted to share something I popped in the mail for my gorgeous nephews Jack and Cooper on Monday - a cosy crocheted beanie each and a little card from their Aunty Neeta.

 

 

Come back and visit again soon for some more crafty fun! Take care and happy Wednesday to you. Love Anita. xxx
