A few things and something really exciting

I was given these by Jacquie & Catherine who are two of the sweetest, so I want to say thank you to them.

So what do I have to do, well you pretty much know.  It's the same thing every time.  I'm going to award it to all of my Unity Addict Challenge Chicks because to me they are both fabulous & creative.

For the winner of the Growing in Unity Blog candy just happens to be the sweet Jacquie that I was referring to.  She just needs to pick which of the singles she wants.  That's the hard part if you ask me.

Now, for the "something really exciting".  Marianne is going to be teaching a Copic Certification class in Pensacola on February 23rd.  I put in my application.  I just found out today that it was accepted!!  I am so excited!!  I can't wait now because it's only a month away....YEAH!!!!!

Apparently someone thinks I'm creative. I never would have guessed. I would like to thank the Academy, my family for always encouraging...ok, I know that's enough. But seriously I would like to thank Lisa for giving me this award. Although we have never met, Lisa is a great person and think a wonderful friend...it's too bad I can't nominate her back.

Here are deets for the Kreative Blogger Award:
1. The winner may put the logo on their blog.
2. Put a link to the person who sent you the award.

I'm Honored

I've never been given an award so when Catherine messaged me to let me know she'd given me one, I was kinda floored. So thank you Catherine so much.

All that I am awarding have inspired me so much over the past year, and I truly love your creations and your blogs! {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} All I ask in return is that you pass the Butterfly Award on to 10 people, posting their names on your blog and notifying them. Please also link back to me.
