Checking in again & a couple awards

Hi all!

Hope all is well in the blogging world. I've been checking in on you all the best I can. I have been so super busy but I should have some fun stuff to share with all of you soon!

In the meantime... I have received 4 blog awards over the past month. I apoligize to the wonderful ladies that have passed them on that it's taken me this long to aknowledge them! I truely appreciate it!

Here they are...

I have been nominated for the "One lovely blog award" by...

Iamtutu over at New to scrapping and also

Valerie over at Craftin Obsession

Check out these ladies blogs. They have some great stuff going on over there. I can't wait to spend more time checking them out!

The rules for this award are...

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 15 other blogs that you've newly discoved. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Thanks so much ladies! This truely means alot! I have placed the award on my sidebar. Now I don't feel I can pass the award on to 15 other blogs that I've newly discovered because I have been soooo out of the blogging loop lately! So if you are new to my blog and don't have this award, leave me a comment so I can check out your blog and you could be nominated for this award.

The next one is the Kreativ Blogger award.

Patti from My Creative Mind was nice enough to think of me for this award. I have posted it on my sidebar.

July Fourth Basket

Happy 4th of July to all my fellow Americans!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend.

I wanted to share a basket I did recently for the fourth. This one was for the assisted living I always talk about.

The stars are from the George cartridge. The happy 4th, fire cracker & hat are from DSscrapbookingroom. They are cut files for Sure Cuts alot. The cutie pie bear is from My Scrap Chick.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
