My First Blog Award

At first I didn't even know what this meant. . .but I have been awarded an Angel Award.

I was nominated for this award by Tracy from Ascending Butterfly. We met a few months ago somehow through etsy and she is currently sponsoring a special giveaway for me on her blog.

How the Angel Award works:

1. Thank the one who gave it to you by linking back to her blog.

2. Pass it out to five bloggy angels.

3. Let your angels know they have been selected for the award.



My Angel nominations, in no particular order, are:  

Etsy It Up - Celeste picks the most amazing finds from Etsy, then features and reviews them here. I always look forward to seeing what she finds so I don't have to spend the time scouring etsy myself. I also just love her blog layout and colors.

Weekend Stamper - I just recently found and have been so inspired by the amazing ideas I find and copy here. Kelly has been so helpful and kind in helping me develop and improve some things on my own blog that I wanted to honor her here with this Angel award.

Etsy Greetings - This is the "team blog" for one of my favorite and most helpful etsy teams. It's a great source of inspiration and honest communication with super-talented artists.

Beach Cottage Studio -  I just love her designs with butterflies, so much that it was inspiration on a few of my own designs. She was also one of my first blog followers and I am thankful to her for that.

Life's Little Adventures - This is my favorite "friend blog" (as opposed to etsy-related blog) and this  friend encouraged me to blog at all. She also encouraged me to "Go Mac" and graciously fields tons of questions as I navigate my way through it all. I also just love visiting her and seeing what's going on in her busy child-filled life.

Being recognized by other bloggers is such a huge and inspiring moment for me. I am proud to share  this space with such amazing, clever,  creative and helpful women!
