What an honour ….

Wow how special was it this morning when I started up my puta and found not one but three emails advising me that I’d been given a “Beautiful Blog Award” from three friends.

So a very huge thank you to Linda Craven, Nikki Stalker and Mae Collins for this honour :)

Now I must pass the award on to another 10 Beautiful Blogs AND tell you 10 things about myself.  So without further to do and in no particular order, here are the 10 Beautiful Blogs of 10 beautiful people!
Now to share 10 things about me ….
  1. I love being a Stampin Up! demonstrator
  2. I love coffee (now that surprises you doesnt it?)
  3. I have 2 daughters and 3 angels in heaven
  4. I have been married for 25 years
  5. I have Fibromyalgia and manage it with supplements & medication although some days are good and some are not.
  6. I love to watch my Sydney Swans play (and win like they did last night ;) )
  7. I am a Christian
  8. I am going to the Stampin’ Up! Convention in 19 days!  This will be my 4th Convention and I’ve attended every Convention held here in Australia.
  9. I love listening to Christian Contemporary music and my faves are Casting Crowns, Third Day, Jeremy Camp and Michael W Smith
  10. My father is from The Netherlands so have a Dutch background and love dutch things like Dropjes and Ollie Bollen
So there you have it … mind you I did have to think about ten things about me!
Thanks again to the lovely ladies who awarded me this award – I am very touched :)
Thanks for stoppin by

An Award and a Latte!

I’ve been tagged by two lovely ladies!

Firstly, by my dear ‘always’ friend Kerri Hunter who awarded me with this award …

Kerri and I met through Stampin’ Up!® and I treasure our friendship so much – she is an awesome stamper and totally amazes me with all she does every day without a second thought! Check out her blog – she does such lovely work. Thanks Kerri so much!

Now to pass this award onto five bloggin buddies ….

  1. Makeesha Byl – this lady is just awesome. She was the recipient of the first Australian “heart of Stampin Up!® award and is so deserving of it. Through Stampin’ Up!® we have become good friends – oh and she does really lovely work too!!
  2. Vanessa Webb – one of my downline and a great friend. Its hard to believe that prior to joining Stampin’ Up!® Ness had never stamped! Yes its true!!
  3. Nicole Stalker – I’ve known Nikki for quite a few years but only recently managed to get together after we realised the only time we saw each other was at Stampin’ Up!® conventions! Sad but true but we have remedied that now – see you next week Nikki! Oh she does awesome work too!
  4. Sharon Davis – this is another lady who amazes me with all she gets done – working full time, running a large household, wife/nurse to a Vet and also manages time for Stampin’ UP!® – it makes me tired just to think about all she does!
  5. Michelle’s Stamping Ground – this lady has become a special friend since convention and she always has time to message me on msn and see how I am. Her blog is looking great now she’s posting more so go check it out and encourage her!

I am sure they’d all love to hear from you! Now when I started blogging I never thought anyone would read my posts let alone give me awards! So each and every award I get really means alot.

Now for the machine. I have a thing for coffee – yes I know … you never knew! lol Well a few weeks back I was very sternly told not to buy any more espresso machines and not to even look at them.

EM5600_lWell my DH rings me today and suggests I go to The Good Guys and check out the latte machine they have there on sale – so whats a Latte Lover supposed to do??

Needless to say I didnt need much convincing and its now adorning my kitchen bench.

Doesnt it look great?? and it even comes with a DVD so its gotta be good right??

Now next time your over remember to ask me for a Latte!

Now I’m off to read the instructions and make a cuppa!
