I have an award!

Thank you Jean for giving me an award - I'm so pleased!!
I am supposed to give it to seven other recently discovered blogs and tell you seven random things about myself.

1. I have two sisters and two step-sisters. We don't get together very often, but have a laugh when we do!
2. I have been married for 29 years and have two sons 21 and 18 (today!).
3. I was quite late starting paper craft - only about 5 years  ago, after seeing a display of rubber stamps and ink pads in a local craft shop!
4. We used to  spend a lot of time buzzing around the countryside on OH motorbike - still got the bike, but I don't go so often!
5. When my youngest was in Nursery I was asked to help out whilst a member of staff went to the Doctors - I'm still there 15 years later!
6. I'm crafting on a corner of the kitchen table at the moment. Eldest son has just bought his own flat and we're decorating all the bedrooms!  Trouble is I keep losing things cos they get mixed up - never mind, my own craft room will be the end result!
7. I'm going to be 50 next year (she whispers!)

Blogs I have chosen for awards for

1.  Max's Craft Creations
2. Anne - Just for Fun  - these two ladies we're the first to inspire me have a go at entering challenges.
3. Enchanted Occasions
4. Simply One of a Kind - these two ladies helped me take the jump into blogland.
5. Judith@Poppy Cottage - Truly inspiring!
6. Manicstamper - I love this blog! It's like having a natter with your neighbour over a cuppa!
7. PEP - such dedication!
