I have been given another lovely award by two of my fellow Little Claire Design Team members, Helen and Maira. This was a lovely surprise, and it really cheered me up after having a really bad day yesterday.

I have to say why i stated blogging and pass it on to 10 more deserving people. when i first got into blogging it was thought my lovely hubby, but i soon became aware of all the fab talent out there, this has helped inspire me and hopefully to became a better crafter. That why I'm only giving 6 people the award, as they are the ones who have inspired me the most.
