Ive been tagged

I have been tagged by Lorraine. The rules are that you must first link to the person who tagged you, then go to where you keep your pics on your pc, go to the sixth folder and then the sixth picture and show it and tell the story behind it.

I don't think Kim is going to be too happy with me but, never mind, lol!

This is when Kim was in Primary 6 (about 9/10 years) and her school put on a performance at the local high school. She was so happy to get her photo taken, lol!

Anyway, I am supposed to pass this onto six people now but, I am not feeling too great and I think everyone I would pass this too have already been tagged. So, if you are reading this and have not been tagged then please pick it up ands pass it on. Thank you.

Thanks again Lorraine, sorry I didn't pass it personally.

Last minute Challenge Combo

This card is for Challenge #35 over at Sketch Saturday. This is a brilliant sketch by Jo and the prize is fabulous also...Emma Lockley is giving away a bunch of products and also offering a discount on the products. Pop over and check out her blog.

I am also going to enter this one in the Secret Crafter Sater Challenge #16. This is the first time I've entered this one. I used the sketch above and chose 1 image, 2 papers and 3 embellishments and then put it all together.

I know I am quite late in the week with this but, I really enjoyed working with the recipe and the sketch and thought I would enter them.

This card was made using the sketch by Julee on the Mojo Monday challenge blog. This is the first time I have been on the blog and let me tell you, I am glad I found it. I have bought some new papers, ribbon, even a couple of stamps and still... nothing! Untill, I saw this sketch! I dug around in my stash and found these baby papers and came up with this. Hope you like it.

Another award!

Oh my goodness! I have received another award. Again, this is an honour. It is good to know that somebody enjoys my work. So, thank you again, Lorraine!

However, I have been informed by my wonderful daughter that she gave me an award ages ago. So, I also want to say thank you to my daughter and I am sorry that I didn't come and pick it up.

Now, this award states that:

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY- nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or 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 8 bloggers who may then pass it on.

I would like to pass this to

1.)Ila
2.)Gayle
3.)Dawn
4.)Jacqui
5.)Suzanne (not me, lol)
6.)Zoe
7.)Hannah
8.)Alison

Sorry if you already have this. I think its the thought that counts!

Thank you again to Lorraine and Kim and anyone who takes the time to stop by
