More Blog Blessings...Awards...

OMGosh, a group of very special ladies were allllllllll thinking of me, allllllllll at the same time =) Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, & thank you (I can't say it enough), for awarding Heartful Stamping so many awards at one time.

These sisters all are so sweet and very much appreciated, not only for their gift in creating and inspiring me, but most importantly, for their friendship and sisterhood. Their blogs are a definite "Must Visit". Thank you so much!

First of all... the "Honest" award from Grace & Rleen

Secondly..."Fabulous" blog award from Jen

and, last but not least...the "Lovely" blog award from JulieNow...because of the first award received, I guess it's time to be HONEST (listing ten things about myself).

1). I love the Lord. As you probably know that by now.

2). I'm a very committed wife and mommy. This is only part of my legacy that I want to leave for my children.

3). My husband is a better cook than I. HE taught ME how to cook. (really)

4). I LOVE to clean my house. Especially on rainy days.

5). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the rain.

6). Although I started driving at the age of 16 and bought my first car at the age of 19, I didn't get my driver's license until I was 28. I was heavily influenced by my husband, or else...(lol).

7). I can talk your ears off =)

8). I love to travel by car, boat, and/or plane.

9). I'm not much of a book reader. The book MUST be really, really good if...I'm still reading it after the first page.

10.) I was never really good at following instructions. Especially if I'm sleepy and ready for LaLa land. So with that being said...because it would take me forevvvvvvvvvvvvver to list only certain individuals for these special awards, I have decided to bless alllllllll of my faithful readers. Yep, each one of you. You are all very much appreciated and I am very blessed to have you, as a part of me and Heartful Stamping. Please don't hesitate to take anyone (or all) of these special awards and post them to your blogs. If you don't have a blog, please know that I appreciate you even more and it's YOU! that keeps me going.

Be blessed and remember...Jesus loves you! Yep...YOU!!!

hugs in Jesus~

Now, as for the recipients that I will pass this onto (although there are many, many, many)...these sisters have been an inspiration to me as well, more than they will ever know.

Blog Awards...

Sharing with you a few more blessings "Heartful Stamping" has received. I am so overdue with posting these and so sorry to the wonderful sisters who were so thoughtful in selecting us. Please, please forgive me.

Now...this "I Love Your Blog" award was issued by a very sweet and talented sister. Whom I've had the honor to meet (in person) during this Christmas holiday. No time could have been any better. Thank you Michelle of Mushi's Creative Inspirations , for your thoughtfulness and sisterhood. I appreciate you!Next...this "Your Blog is Fabulous" award is so chic. Don't you think!?! It was presented by another gifted sister, who just celebrated her (29) years Wedding Anniversary and...the birth of her precious little Great Niece. Please pop on over and congratulate Poppy of Poppy's Place. It'll be a blessing to her. Because the rules are similar (with the exception of #4, for "Fabulous" award only), I have decided to present "Both" awards as a pair.

The rules are as follows:
1). Link back to the one who presented this award to you.
2). Pass it on to (5) other blogs and link to them as well.
3). Inform the recipients
4). List (5) things you are addicted to.

Let's start with my addictions (Oh Gosh...confession time! A time to be honest. Hee,hee)...
1). Las Vegas trips
2). Shopping (for my girls)
3). "Coach" bags (all kinds)
4). Blogging
5). Stamping & Stamping supplies

Five recipients are:
1). Liz of Hyz2praze (this is my little sis. She's a new blogger with a "Family" blog. Please welcome her and show her some love).
2). Margie of Oh Bumble is Me...
3). Diane of ddnjoys2stamp
4). Julie of Julie's Crafty Corner
5). Tracey of Tray's Spot

Thank you ladies for blessing me with your sisterhood and friendship. Happy Holidays and many warm blessings for the New Year, in Jesus!

Not One but...Twooooooo Awards. Oh My...

Yep, you're reading correctly. Not one but two awards have been awarded to Heartful Stamping. Wow, wow, wow...what can I say except that I again, am so honored. Thanks so much to my new friend and sister in Blogland, Shirley over at Card Art, Etc. for this great blessing. She has such a special gift in creating and it's very evident in her cards. A very elegant touch. "Mahalo Nui Loa" (as we would say in Hawaii) Shirley.

Now, one of the great things about receiving BOTH awards from Shirley is that BOTH are for 8 people and all of the same rules below apply. Just as given to me, I in turn will award several (although there are many) sisters who have been an inspiration to me, BOTH AWARDS.

This first award is in Portuguese (how cool!!!). Please see below for translation.This second one well, it explains itself. How beautiful it is.The rules are:
1). Display the award on your site.
2). Put a link to the person who sent you the award.
3). Give the award to 8 more people.
4). Notify them of receiving the award.
5). Advise them to pick it up at your site.

Following is the translation of the Portuguese words and the rules for the award:
"This blog award invests and believes in proximity -(creating friendships)!" [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy]. These are the other words to be included with the award:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these awards are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these bloggers!

Deliver this award to 8 bloggers who must choose 8 more and include this written text into the body of their award.

"Award" recipients and sisters that inspires me are: (again, there are many, many, many)
1). Jen from Pieces of Me & Little C's... Of course I couldn't leave Jen out, she has always been there to encourage, inspire, and take those (many) baby steps with me. She still continues to build me up, always showing and displaying the many possibilities. You want a good laugh!?! check out her blog. Better yet, check out her many blogs (lol). She is one of many gifted sisters.

2). Teri from Big Ideas From A Little Girl... Who has also been there (as mentioned before) since my infant stages of stamping. Her creativity and the elegance of her creations, inspires me and many others, daily. She's always giving of herself and her talents. Attend her workshops and you'll see...and don't forget to introduce yourself to Wini. Teri's other half, next to her DH, of course (lol).

3). Joy from A place to be me... If you're looking for great project ideas, encouragement, or just some true inspiration, check out Joy. In my eyes, this sister takes on challenges in creating and makes it look so simple. Her projects OMGosh, are stunning. She has a very special friend, that we all NEED to get to know (lol), which is why she is my next recipient.

4). Enjoli from Stamping Under the Sun...Talk about cute bags...I've been so blessed by Enjoli's creations posted on Joy's blog. Which then, directed me back to hers. She has some very nice and cute stuff. Go on over and check her out. Try and make friends with her because...she sends out some cool RAK's, ask Joy (hee,hee). We all NEED to make Enjoli our "Friend" (lol).

5). Marie from Aloha and Mabuhay!... Oh my, if there is anyone, who's work will inspire me and my love for embellishing, Marie's cards will do it. She puts those embellishments to work. Pop on over to visit her and you will see for yourself.

6). Maria from Stampin Inspirations by Maria & Card Inspired by Maria... Maria probably has tons of these Awards lying around somewhere. Because her work is BEAUTIFUL! Very, very BEAUTIFUL! Before I had my own blog, I would "Stalk" her from Jen's blog. Now, that I have my own, I now "Stalk" her from mine (hee, hee).

7). Michelle from Mushi's Creative Inspirations...is another talented sister with projects. I was so blessed to have had her pop in and introduce herself. When I think of the Portuguese Award, Michelle was right in there.

8). Jean from Stamping Spot Studio...is another sister with such beauty in her cards and scrapbook pages. I admire her work. Check out her blog and you will see why.

Each one of these ladies have something very special. Not only in their creations but most importantly (whether they are from Hawaii or Hawaii at heart), exemplifying the Aloha spirit. It's evident that they deserve to be acknowledged for their gift of creativity. But above all, when it comes to the "Portuguese Award", building friendships, is second nature for these ladies. So please pop in to visit and show them some love. It will come right back to you! Till then...
